Agreed.
Also agree.
Again such a high leading up to Spectre or really post SF. First worry was announcement Logan working on idea.
Now we're all worried about the future of Bond.
Very sad.
The Hildebrand Rarity Madeline Swann is kidnapped by Spectre and Bond must find the Hildebrand rarity but where does his loyalty lie with mi6 or Swann (bond would appear to be working with Spectre the whole time but in reality would be working for mi6 and Swann would be saved but did at the end of the film)
Blofeld it's the final fight after the death of his wife Madeline Swann at the hands of Blofeld Bond will track him down to farthest reaches of the globe and will kill Blofeld (the finale is in Japan with Bond having the most brutal sword fight against Blofeld with Bond finally killing Blofeld)
The Property of a Lady this is hiddleston's first outing as 007
Could be really well done if the right director is at the helm of the films above
Well, what about the coherency between the first paragraph and last paragraph.
How can you report that the film needs a $925M global revenue to make profit - and then add that the profit will be different whether the revenue is $525M US + $400M OS, or the revenue is $325M US + $600M OS ?
A claim of accuracy of $5M looks surreal IMO. But you can't publish a paper with a 100M$ uncertainty and look professional...
Read the leaks to see the producers discussing the profits of Skyfall and the hopes for SPECTRE, you'll have a closer look to the truth of how these things are supposed to work. And it means people will all the data actually disagree when they discuss when the profits start... It's incredibly complex accounting. For SPECTRE, producers were wondering if from an accounting point of view they actually benefited from product placement fees !
well, if it's true that they hired one of the writers of Mad Men to pen the story for Bond 25 (not the script mind you, but just the story treatment).. then i'd say they are off to a good start..
it's just who they hire to take whatever he writes, and make a script out of it.
Yup ...crossed fingers
the MI6 article is about a tabloid rumor that since EON had hired him to write, that they would be rebooting Bond back to the 60's - which has since been denied.

To reboot for a period piece and put Bond in the 60s is such a high risk and I don't think has the strongest appeal to begin with. Certainly not with me.
Since Spectre we know EON is playing it safe and that is a good thing.
One experiment that didn't work is enough.
I'm certain from now on we'll get more of the same that worked so well for 40 years.
It really isn't that hard to grasp. Go and read up on the break down on how it works.
Secondly, lets not get silly now; EoN are nowhere near being in the same position as WB/DC when it comes to ancillaries.
Bond in the 50s though. Would be amazing. Or even a WW2 origins movie...
I don't know... To me it's always more engaging to see the characters in the current reality fighting current evils. Otherwise there is a disconnect IMO. Also, please no more origins. I hate the idea of EON trying to reinvent the wheel yet again, like watching 1000 scenes of Bruce Wayne's parents getting shot over the years.
Now, as much as I'd love a 1960s Bond film coming, again, like Getafix said, it doesn't have the commercial appeal that EON requires. But, one thing they have to do is to let other people do their Bond-like movies set in pre-1970s Cold War era. Like this Section 6 film project Universal Studios is doing and EON keeps blocking them because their film "sounds too much like Bond."
I've read the script through a friend of mine, and with a few fixes of things in it (like removing the 00-section), things will work just fine. EON should let them make that film. They did a similar thing years ago with a video game called The Operative: No One Lives Forever, and that one didn't even have a direct Bond reference taken from Fleming's books or the EON film series. Yet they blocked them from release until the main character was changed into a female spy. That said, I wonder how did Kingsman got away with these.
Nice idea but in narrative terms not very realistic. You'd need a 90 year old actor to be playing Bond in the current day if we were to believe the same character was active In the 1960s!
the retired agent carries a secret that he passes on to Bond in the present day. re the time line, this just fits now, another 10 years and its too late
So is this Matthew guy writing bond 25?
titles (referencing the 2 era)
A 90 year old Woman arriving unannounced at MI6 demanding to speak to M (perhaps carrying a keepsake to prove her story) would be a nice way to open the modern day section?
