I believe they will use The Property of A Lady and Risico eventually (Risico in particular is very flexible--could be the name of a mission or even a company (RisiCO). I'm less sure about THR and 007 in New York.
They are likely rationing the last few titles because, once they're gone, they're gone.
This Hodge thing is certainly very interesting, and if it means P&W have finally been retired, I will be a happy man. Their act is a bit tired. Other changes would be welcome too.
I'd love to see the day when they're able to plan far enough in advance that I sit down for a new Bond movie, and as the credits roll, they've already got the title of the next one plastered up. Would give people something to debate and discuss for the future without waiting 2-3 years for the first bit of info regarding the following installment.
Unlikely, since MGW is a lawyer.
THR is somewhat unlikely sadly. I liked that title. I'd prefer the title: Thrilling Cities over 007 in New York. I doubt we'll ever see 007 in New York used as a title.
I'd be surprised if Harris comes back, given she's going to have a lot of face time in Dwayne Johnson's new monkey flick out this year.
I think if nothing is announced until May, the announcement will be that Craig has left and Bond 25 is pushed back until at least 2020. March/April should give us SOMETHING concrete. It's only about 20 months until the premiere after all, and apparently they don't even have a first draft yet.
Apparently they were still tweaking it while the film was shooting! Hardly something I'd want to see again, given the finished product.
I had assumed by this point they had to have completed the final draft, if not in the process of putting the finishing touches on it. Been long enough, anyway.
If all of this is true, and we have a sort of Demange/P&W versus Boyle/Hodge situation going, and one of the two is what pans out for B25, I'd be eager to see the losing script, and why it wasn't chosen over the other.
More from CashleyPersia:
The script by Purvis and Wade was never in question. It exists.
I know for a fact that they have been letting directors read the script. In fact, I’ve recently been working with JA Bayona who was offered the chance to read it (though I never heard what happened there).
But Eon have made no bones that they are happy to hear pitches on a final Craig/Bond film from prestige talent. I never heard Danny Boyle’s name till the Variety article. But I heard Chris Nolan and another A-list helmer had met with Eon with strong takes that the producers would have happily commissioned over Purvis and Wade’s script.
What’s most confusing to people I speak to with is that Demange had supposedly been getting a team together. He was under some kind of fixed-term contract and I guess the contract expired and they went with Boyle. He was never signed but apparently location-scouting was the next step in the process. Its rather unconscionable of Eon to treat a filmmaker this way.
Someone better forward this to the mayor of Dubrovnik.
Last we heard from Pinewood was that all was really calm there.
That will be quite a middle finger to fans if Craig backs out after the announcement on Colbert's program and subsequent media frenzy. What a disaster.
Personally, I've been ready to see Craig retire from the role since SPECTRE.
The Craig era is going to end on one big, massive stinker for me if he does indeed drop out after all this time.
I just had a heart attack.
Nooo, it sounds AWFUL. I want my Danny Boyle Bond movie before the inevitable Chris Nolan Bond movie!!!
LOL. And I don't see Danny Boyle choosing Croatia as a location.
I think it was a few months after.
There was a draft dated Dec. 1, 2014 (one week before filming). It's very close to the final product but there are some differences. So work continued after that.
