I can't see them changing scripts since casting has already been started, location scouting etc.. Unless they are indeed willing to delay.
Apparently, it was Boyle's decision - unless they formulated it this way for Boyle's reputation.
That might be cognitive dissonance but I've always been skeptical about it too. People complained about Sam Mendes having too much free reign and now they'd expect Boyle who is maybe a more personal filmmaker to hold back?
This really makes no sense to me. CR was a fresh start, same producers...
Not necessarily. I wouldn't be surprised to see a new director within the next 6 weeks. There had to have been more directors that EON was after.
Time will tell
They could also hire a director to simply go ahead with the current script and proceed with what they were working on. I think this is more likely then recasting and basically start from scratch.
agreed
I'd imagine this Hodge script is quite unique, given it was something both Boyle and he came up with. So it may require some tweaks to accommodate a new director's sensibilities.
The script they have what written for Danny Boyle's sensibilities. Without Boyle, what is there to suggest that anyone involved is even interested in filming that? And not forgetting the director would have to find it appealing also.
From the list of previous directors Martin Campbell and Marc Forster are the ones I would look forward to with excitement. Mendes was done after SF and SP proved that. No more Mendes, please.
I was only under the impression he did some work during the QoS production due to the writers strike. You learn something new every day!
Interesting you should mention that about CR. Not drawing conclusions or anything about the Craig era, but it might be an example of why an actor shouldn't have more involvement than acting. I don't know how much Craig has had to say about direction of the films, etc., but if they need to hire an "artsy" director to keep Craig interested, then this "Boyle saga" might be a learning experience for EON.
Martin McDonaugh would be a fantastic choice! I actually hope they do get him now..can't believe I never thought of him..
That's the worst thing about this development: unless the movie is delayed or they get someone they already have a relationship with (Campbell or Mendes), they will have to pick a C- or D-list director. Even Demange would be a dream scenario for them now.
I need another craig bond in my life, then will be okay with a new one.
