    There we go. Daniel Craig will be Battle a bunch of villainess kids in Bond 25
  • edited March 2018 Posts: 4,619
    Update from CashleyPersia (the guy who has been posting insider information about Bond 25 on reddit for over a year):

    "I hear the Boyle deal is done.

    His musical will start filming next month. It's a pretty small production and there is a chance it'll be released this year (possibly premiering at the London Film Festival). Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't come out later. Bond goes into production in Jan and Danny has committed.

    No idea on story or plot. John Hodge's script is apparently further than we think...

    There is also a school of thought that Danny is hedging his bets. Supposedly, his Beatles film hasn't totally secured rights to the music. Hence, why he entertained the Bond idea. Suddenly, it looks as though both projects have momentum and instead of committing to one over the other, he's decided to do both.

    However, there is also the slim possibility that one (or both) falls through."


    I still think this guy is probably making all this stuff up, but it's possible he isn't lying.

    Again what I want and I know I am in the minority

    A fitting conclusion to the Craig era but of course what does this mean
    1. The end of Spectre Blofield and all the plot points left unresolved from 2006-now. Look I get it Blofield is iconic fine give him an iconic death at the end of Bond 25 personally the end of the character in You Only Live Twice (novel) would be quite cool
    2. A rock and roll theme (sorry but in my opinion You Know My Name and Another day to die were the best title songs since Aha The living Daylights though Goldeneye is ok) give Craig another one of those for his finale
    3. Give us a great score (again Casino and Quantum were light years ahead of everything since the living daylights)

    I get all of that Uwe Bowll can direct for all I care

    100% agreed.

    Also get rid of the Scooby gang and just keep Fiennes as Mendes..

    How meta.

    :)) No idea how that came out.

    Nothing to do with B25, but have you seen this? Assistant director Terry Madden is suing EON due to an accident during the SPECTRE shooting in Austria.

    I recall reading about that. Hadn't realized it was a 'career ending' injury.

    Both Barbara and Michael were in London yesterday to deliver a prise to the young filmmakers at the Into Film awards.

    They presented alongside the (rather beautiful) Hermione Corfield (who I sat next to her on the tube once...)

    I still don’t like Wishaw as Q, even after forcing myself through SF and SP many times. He always comes off as that particular nerd (especially in SF) template I’ve always hated about pompous and arrogant computer hackers in films.

    Naomie Harris, sadly, is wrong for Moneypenny. Heck, I could’ve taken her as a female Robinson type who’d be more combatantly involved. Sadly, she couldn’t pull off Moneypenny. Not that the writers are helping her in keeping the characterization intact anyway. So, I wouldn’t fault her in that department.

    Fiennes needs to tone his temper down and be more intimidating in a cold way as Bernard Lee was. I like him as M at the very end of SF and I hope he becomes a more traditional one as well as having a special working relationship and increased mutual trust with Bond.

    Wishaw was very annoying in SF but then the part was also very poorly written and I don’t think they knew what they wanted to do with the character - or perhaps they did but then realised they were on the wrong track because in SP I think they got it pretty much spot on. The tedious computer hackery garbage was largely gone and it was more about the character. Wishaw won me over in SP.

    Harris is so so and Fiennes sadly rather disappointing.

    I would not be unhappy if none of them appeared in the next film. May be just very brief scenes if they have to feature.

    Would be nice to see Felix return though. Played by Jeffrey Wright obv.

    Well with this Baz tweet? Maybe that has lit the blue touch paper finally in some sort of statement being made sooner rather than later?!!!!!

    Highly doubtful. They don't cave to rumors and gossip, and will make an announcement when the time comes.

    One can dream though!!! Lol!!!

    Very interesting. I kinda thought this Beatles movie would start filming sooner than later, plus I think I had read that in one of the recent articles concerning Bond 25. Perhaps there’s legitimacy that Boyle & Hodge have had an idea in mind since 2012, hence the reason Hodge may be further along with the script than expected.

    Danny Boyle as director will make me excited for Bond again. A few reasons -

    1) He is a big fan of the Fleming novels, so really understands the character and the world Bond lives in. This is a biggie for me.

    2) Arnold will almost certainly return if Boyle is directing, and he is number 2 to Barry. I really hated Newman's last two soundtracks.

    3) The signer will most likely be someone Boyle is a fan of. Here's hoping its Noel or Liam Gallagher - all Manchester crew together.

    Well according to this reporter at metro he spoke with boyle and boyle confirmed he is directing bond 25
    But from the article itself:
    “We are working on a script right now. And it all depends on that really. I am working on a Richard Curtis script at the moment. We hope to start shooting that in 6 or 7 weeks. Then Bond would be right at the end of the year. But we are working on them both right now.”

    When I pushed Boyle for more details on “James Bond 25” he confirmed that John Hodge is currently expanding an idea the pair had for 007 into a script. Hodge and Boyle previously worked on “Shallow Grave,” “Trainspotting,” “A Life Less Ordinary,” “The Beach,” “Trance” and “T2 Trainspotting” together.

    “We’ve got an idea, John Hodge, the screenwriter, and I have got this idea, and John is writing it at the moment. And it all depends on how it turns out. It would be foolish of me to give any of it away.”
    So not confirmation then. Misleading headline as is all too usual nowadays. At least there's now a direct quote from Boyle himself that matches up with the rumors.

    EDIT: Good to hear from the man himself about it though. And end of the year shooting? Interesting.

    I like the sound of things. Bring back David Arnold and we're all happy.

    The music will be good with Boyle directing. He won’t tolerate the insipid elevator music that Newman churns out to order.

    It would be great to have him back; I think he would return with a lot of energy and with something to prove. His last two scores were outstanding.

    For the title song either one of the Gallagher brothers would be great. I saw Noel live last week and he was incredible . After two ballads, particularly the dreary one by Sam Smith, Bond could use a bit of arrogance and swagger.

    In my opinion You Know My Name is the best song from the last 25 years. Pretty much all the rest are bad to mediocre. I respect Adele’s effort but for me it lacks something - feels like it’s building to something but just goes round in circles.

    Surrender by kd Lang is probably the next best effort - should have been the title track.

    Both coefforts with Arnold.

    Amen! Newman delivered 2 good tracks in SF - the rest was exactly what you said: elevator music. Miles below Arnold's fabulous QoS or Casino Royale Soundtracks.

    I would also be all in for a rock title track for Craig's last 007 film plus also loved "You Know My Name" - which was perfect for CR. I still get goose bumps when the track starts right after the alternated gunbarrel sequence of CR. That one remains the only exception that worked brilliantly but should have remained the only altered gunbarrel sequence.

    I’m really sceptic about this guy. For those of you who wanted a good old straightforward mission, I don’t think this one is willing to bring that. More personal drama sounds more likely.

    I agree with you on the rock title track. Bookend the tenure of Craig please.

    If Arnold is back, we can be 100% confident that the title track will be woven into the score.

    Agreed. Despite being overjoyed with Danny and more so with Hodge ousting P&W I'm slightly trepidatious with this 'big idea' they have.

    You'd hope Babs & MGW were not so desperate to get them that they have signed up for some ridiculous notion that makes brothergate looks like peak Fleming.

    But overall it's a risk worth taking to get some fresh and talented blood in.

    It makes pure sense that the title track with have some edge etc. Boyle interwove music brilliantly into the Olympics. He clearly is very much aware of the UK pop cultural heritage.

    Its another building block for a decent/good Bond movie. As fans, you can feel the excitement start to build and we should temper our excitement - at least for now.

    Boy that's a surprise. I'm of two minds about it. I loved Shallow Grave and Slumdog Millionaire but found Trainspotting overrated (although good overall).
