I agree too
What’s hyperbolic about those?
-EON is failing. Therefore nothing’s wrong with what I said.
-Bond does “feel” dead. It’s the truth. I didn’t say it was dead, but it feels dead. The truth.
-Look at the first.
Agree 100 percent
“Soon” as in Revelation 22:12 soon?
Sorry couldn’t resist.
Why would Hodge be penning a script/screenplay for Bond if Boyle was already intending on directing a different movie? That makes zero sense to me at least.
Also, has it been 100% confirmed that Denis Villieuve is completely out?
To be honest, I also felt immediately after seeing SPECTRE that it would be a long time before we saw Bond on the screen again, with or without Craig. I sometimes hate when I'm right.
I also felt there was a good chance that unless a stronger approach was taken with B25, it could be the film that effs up so bad it ends the series. I never actually felt that way before after seeing a new Bond film, DAD amazingly included.
Boyle directing some musical this summer doesn't really worry me. BOND 25 being delayed just to wait on him seems a bit unlikely, IMO. It's not like he directed FRWL or OHMSS and has a Bond track record behind him. I doubt Cubby would have waited a year or two more to make a new Bond film for a director he hadn't even yet hired.
I don't blame him and always said that this would be the case because it just makes sense creatively. I mean, where is the real challenge? After all, he has introduced two new Bonds and reimagined the character twice under trying circumstances. In both cases he gave the actor in question their respective peak film (I don't expect B25 to come close to CR, despite dreams by some of a 'high').
I suppose cleaning up the mess of the last film could pose some sort of challenge for him, but really I think he's smart enough to stay away from this.
Imagine if Spectre was directed by this bloke? It would be hundred times more exhilarating than whatever bloody mess we got.
Though how much will an average audience member care about who directs a Bond film? Of those three names Nolan is the biggest one; his participation might make a difference. The other two are famous and everything but clearly not as much. I think it boils down to the Bond brand itself, rather than the director.
