P&W have a finished draft that has been pitched to a handful of directors.
Boyle & Hodge have an idea of their own that they’re currently working out.
The powers that be will decide which story they want to go with?
Does this sound about right?
Except that who directs if the P&W script wins? According to Reddit user they royally cheesed off Demange to the point where he's pursuing legal action, so he's out. Mendes could return? Someone else?
Yep, chasing the prestige
More than anything, his Colbert remarks killed the two year tiresome and damaging conversation about 'wrist slash', and I think that's what he was sent out to do. I only saw that topic make its way back into the media discussion after his strange appearance at the BAFTAs a few weeks back.
I on the other hand think SP would have been a great way for him to end it. Despite my dislike for the film I believe, if it is to be his last, that it is probably the best of the final entries from a long serving actor (certainly better than DAF, AVTAK or DAD). That's why I couldn't understand why he decided to come back. Every time I view it I think it's a 'send-off' film.
If all of this is true, then it sure seems that way.
I think EON is still hung up on whether to continue on from Spectre or go standalone with Boyles idea
Cubby will be doing cartwheels in his coffin. While he was a business man first he was loyal to his people perhaps to a fault.
I hope we get more clarity soon, but still think somewhere in May is when we'll learn more.
"To be honest, I genuinely thought Nolan would do it.
I heard he met with Eon and was encouraged to have an original idea. I heard the idea was in development, so I suspected it was for Bond 25. But I've heard an equal amount of talk that Eon want to take a backseat moving forward and are looking for someone else to make the films. There was some loose talk amongst industry folk that could be Chris Nolan. But there is a fair degree of conjecture and guesswork involved in that assumption. I know Eon plan to move away from Bond after the next one.
I heard the other director they were speaking to was Bennett Miller. To be honest, I don't know how true that is. Hence why I didn't say initially."
No... please...
Precisely. Development hell was a bit of a tongue in cheek remark on my part. Nevertheless, if things don't move forward in the next few months it may be a completely accurate statement.
I feel your pain. I am very much looking forward to Bond 25 staring Daniel Craig.
Has anyone contacted Baz Bamigboye for comment on the Boyle news?
Asked him to no avail.
All of this talk of him backing out is completely premature. In the eyes of the public, he is James Bond and dramatically announced, to thunderous applause, that he will be returning.
Trust me, the next time he makes a major appearance he will look great and ready to go out with a bang as 007.
Praying you’re right.
