Oooh, and as a call back to the Dr. No novel, Bond fights Blofeld in a burning barn and engineers it so that a stack of manure bags fall on his enemy, killing him. Not exactly guano, but a close enough reference, eh?
Then Bond looks down at Blofeld's crushed form and says, "Poo poo for you" at him. We've also gotta have a scene where Bond fights from his trusty steed (a cow) as SPECTRE agents force themselves over his grazing field to flank him, and after he kills them he'll say, "you've been put out to pasture."
Yeah, this is gold.
The current speculation reminds me of every single intermission from TSWLM to AVTAK.

In November 2012, MGM announced that John Logan had been hired to write Bond 24 and Bond 25.
MGM, Eon and Sony announced Bond 24's release date (still no title at that point) in July 2013.
Guys, relax: there's a lot going on: Craig is on an option, there are no writers for the new script, no story, no one's distributing the next few films... relax...
Okay?
This is the 21st century. The era in Bond history when every new film was followed by or preceded with a hiatus. We're 16 years into this era and no signs of that cycle changing until the series finally peters out.
Sarcasm aside I must say these "Craig quits Bond" media b******t has gotten really old and way out of hand. All throughout the 89-95 drought there were rumors of Tim being replaced by Pierce, Mel Gibson, Eddie Murphy, Sharon Stone etc etc. This is nothing new. Dalton was still Bond until April of '94 when he officially stepped down. Craig is still Bond until he throws in the towel.
Of course if history repeats itself, Craig will step down an be replaced by an actor who does four hugely successful films, but aged rapidly after his second because the third took nearly half a decade to commence filming. By his 4th outing the internet will be actively forcing him out with rumours of highly inappropriate Bond heirs-Justin Beiber as 007 probably being one of them, yet will amazingly have a strong support group in his favor.
For the sake of variety let's hear from Mr. Craig himself. Or why not do do something that hasn't been done in in the Bond series in 35 years? Give Daniel enough elbow room maybe he'll actually come back and be the 1st bond to have a 5th outing actor since 1981? I'll bet there are many here on this board that weren't around back then.
Daniel Craig, it’s okay if you let Bond go

That’s fine. That’s genuinely fine. Dan, if you’re listening, it’s ok. If you are mulling it over, know this: everyone would love to see you do Bond 25, and give us another exciting blast of fun like Spectre or a critical great like Skyfall or Casino Royale. You’re not too old, and you’d give us what we want. But if your heart isn’t in it, I’d rather you step away now. Forget all the media putting words in your mouth, or twisting those words, or claims about rejecting millions of dollars, forget all that – just make your choice for the right reasons.
If you still love 007 like we do, keep on remembering the first rule of mass media – give the people what they want. If you don’t, then move on with your head held high, knowing very few have ever done it better. For many people, you’ll always be ‘their Bond’. That’s more than a great enough legacy.
That being said, I would like to know what is happening in regards to distributor and that Craig is going to do a fifth before calling quits…No holds barred, plain mission bas wed film with no personal backstory and no continuity, like the old days.
I'm relaxed. Someone asked what news there had been at a comparable point between Skyfall and SPECTRE, so I answered.
In addition, Albert R. Broccoli had put Danjaq/Eon up for sale (later taken off the market) and was in a legal fight with MGM, all of which was causing more uncertainty. The Mel Gibson buzz was specifically caused by a report that Joel Silver was interested in buying and if he did so, he'd install Gibson as Bond.
Gary Barber, the CEO of MGM, announced during an MGM financial conference call in November 2012 that JOHN LOGAN (mistakenly typed "Barber" in original) had been hired to script Bond 24 and Bond 25.
Beware. If he scripted 25 one reasone more for DC to leave. Logan can have the new one, as far as I am concerned.
I forgot about all that. I remembered Gibson ..he even passed on GE but I forgot about Joel Silver and the sale.
If I had to guess Jez Butterworth is more then likely helping write the next film. Back in febuary Greg Wilson said they (but not indications who they were) were throwing around ideas for Bond 25. My guess in terms of who they were was G. Wilson M. Wilson Babs Daniel Craig and Jez Butterworth but again this is all just a guess.
My feeling is Craig will do one more (though I wouldn't mind 2 more) it will be heavidly influenced by You Only Live Twice (the novel) and because the way titling has been going as of late my guess is Bond 25 is Blofeld... Which I am ok with Blofeld while being a bland title for a film is an Iconic villain and one film goers recognize and like so having a bond film titled that would make sense...
Like I said Logan's script had plenty of problems you don't beg people back after you let them go because they are nice blokes you do it because the script has more plot holes then Swiss cheese
