Good point.
I know he's said big budgets worry him. My solution (as a pleb who really knows nothing about how the business works and how these decisions are made)? Smaller budget. Obviously you need enough for decent action scenes and nice locations but I've never felt like Bond needs a big superhero budget. They'd be able to take more risks and a smaller movie might feel refreshing after how big Spectre was. Plus something smaller and intimate seems like the right choice to finish off the very character driven Craig era.
I'm praying that something actually comes for this. Danny Boyle seeing Craig off followed by a Nolan led reboot (a man can dream) sounds pretty perfect to be honest. I've talked a lot on here about how my enthusiasm has been tested a bit, with Purvis and Wade and Craig returning. But this would get me hyped.
Assuming this is true, I hope something comes of this and we don't just get more of the same, with the Boyle/Hodge pitch becoming a footnote that future members on here will wonder about. Please, please, please, please make this happen EON/MGM/whoever.
I think I’m just getting anxious & I need to keep in mind it’s only February. But let’s talk about this. For anyone that understands these productions better than me, what’s an estimated time-table in order for the movie to begin filming?
Yes but budget is less important than the script. They doubled tswlm's budget for mr and made the worst film up until that point.
Boyle would be interesting. Hyper-kinetic maybe but perhaps he'd be reigned in by the history of the franchise. I can see him working especially well if the film were a more stripped-back story. Something with a lot of Fleming in it. I would trust him with the film. I think he's got the right attitude in general.
There was some talk of Branagh a few pages back. I know some expressed reservations about his ORIENT EXPRESS. Has anyone seen his JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT? I thought that was a pretty decent thriller.
I wouldn't mind another 00, just as long as they don't go all Mendes with it and make him/her Bond's long lost flatmate's cousin's ex dog walker.

Why are you brits going on vacation or something?
One could imagine he would be, looking at how SP ended up. Really hope they just go for a straight forward standalone mission this time around.
What exactly do rats smell like? Oh, a tart's handkerchief?
I'm also having trouble imagining them together.
Is it possible? I can't avoid it it seems. All I hear about these days.
A Guy Ritchie film would at least be fun and entertaining!
LOL'd my pants off :)
Ultimately it is the iconic 'James Bond brand' (and the expectations around that) which really sells it.
