    That helicopter was supposed to be used in a war movie. What war movie, by the way?

    I've no clue, really. The only non-Bond production on the horizon is The Rhythm Section, due 2019.

    Exactly. Something's fishy there or their "war movie" isn't quite established to be revealed on paper, yet.

    I agree. Something is still up with that helicopter.

    Eventually, it'll go up in the air. ;)

    The last we heard about the helicopter was in March last year.
    "Bond 25 won't feature a vintage helicopter. EON acquired it for a (TBA) historical war movie that they're co-producing in late 2017."

    That time has now passed and they're currently making The Rhythm Section, which isn't a historical war movie, no? EON have also had two other low-profile movies listed on their slate, but there's been no movement on those for a year. https://pro.imdb.com/company/co0054040

    The museum that sold - not lent - the Huey, last told me personally that it was indeed for B25 though. The same twitter account as above denounced those claims, however.

    Then, it is for Bond 25.

    I hope they do use Dubrovnik; I’ve been there; it would be a spectacular location for Bond.

    Pardon my ignorance, but why is this helicopter story so important?

    A chopper appearing in a Bond film? Probably happened more often than Bond ordering a Martini...

    It was important because the news about that helicopter being for use in B25 came long before any official news of B25's release date. A time when many were speculating how many years we had left to wait, some even wondering if the next film was ever going to happen at all.

    No, it wasn't that. Just that there had to be indication that there was active development on Bond when we absolutely had zero knowledge (not too different from now) regarding the entry's development.

    We're crazy fans here for the most part, @Andi1996Ruegg. We've got to know every step they make in every respective film's production diary and tie in all the topics together before an official announcement is made. So, forgive us if we get too obsessed with a load of enthusiasm at times. Each detail matters. :D

    If there’s one thing that’s certain, we could all potentially be very effective detectives.

    12:24 am - Craig's coming out of the bar. He looks half pissed. Is he going to meet tonight with Barbara after all or did their plans change? And more importantly, when it does happen, will it be about business or pleasure?

    OK, gotta go. He's on the move.

    This, today, from Ben Whishaw:

    Is it news that he is confirming his return in Bond 25? I suppose so.

    Hopefully in a smaller role the way Q was meant to be on the screen.

    Indeed

    Also for all you people wanting more Leiter, don’t get me wrong, he’s the best man to play the role and he’s great in his minimal screen time with the 2 first Craig Films, but with the way these films are going, he will have 40 min of screen time and it will be Scooby gang all over again. I would rather not see him back

    Even if, Felix is an appropriate Scooby Gang character. I rather see him in the field than Tanner/Moneypenny/Q/M.

    Exactly. Felix is a field operative like Bond, just not on the same level of skills and results as he is. M/Q/Moneypenny belong behind desks in their own posts. They are here to move the story forward, not shine out because their respective actors are big name celebrities demanding more screen time and attention.

    To be fair though, i get why people critizise the scooby gang so much, but it's not like this never happened to the other fellas.
    In the Roger Moore era M was constantly in the field, appearing in some of the Most ludicrous places, and most of the time with Moneypenny at his side (YOLT, TMWTGG, in TSWLM and MR he was basically world traveling with 007 from Brasil to Venice, Sardinia and Egypt) and don't get me started on Q, judging by OP and LTK he must have had advanced field operative training, or he had a deathwish.

    But after Spectre i wish they'd tone it down a bit for the next one at least.

    Agree @00Agent
    Also QoS and SF without Dench having so much screen time would fall apart.
    SP without Q would be even more of a bore.
    It almost seems that Craig can't carry a Bond film on his own. Or EoN doesn't let him.

    With M it makes sense. But, that’s something that should occur once per five or six films at the very least. M being the head of British Intelligence makes sense to have him get involve in political engagements to carry out much like the case was for Drax. Q being there in LTK was more of a fan service than have him help Bond as a real plot twist. Most of the LTK cast were TV actors. A film made on a tight budget, and Desmond Llewellyn being everybody’s beloved Q would’ve elevated excitement for the audience in that film.

    It doesn’t feel the same with the Craig era Scooby Gang, and there’s just too much politics playing out in the recent films rather than have Bond tackle his own assignment by himself. It’s absurd.
