The text in black is very revealing/interesting/shocking!
If this is all correct then a new screenplay would have to start, like, next week to be finished by December. I think a screenplay can be done in three months - from what I understand, TND screenplay wasn't complete during filming (!) - so anything is possible but I think it's fair to say the whole situation reminds me of Mrs May's Brexit plans - a balls-up! :P
(thought I'd add a bit of politics just to spice things up) :P
Basically the whole thing is a complete mess. Utter cock-up. Barbara and MG should fire themselves! Get George Lucas in or er.. Boris Johnson or someone that can get a hold of this and sort it out!!!
I'm curious to see how much of Hodge's script is eventually retained. Would it just be the hook or idea, or more? I'd imagine this script was designed to work with Danny Boyle's unconventional vision and directing style. It may not work so well in the hands of another director, but then again it might.
Then have a seat, pour some whiskey and watch the other 24 films because it'll be awhile.

Because people are that crazy and are going crazy over little things like this.
If this is all true, I don’t see how they can go on WITHOUT delaying the film. Doesn’t seem prudent to me.
"Er..actually I am, Barbara."
"Don't get smart with me, Danny. I am in charge!"
Rumour has it he was in tears as he left the Pinewood car park. Poor Danny Boyle. Years in therapy await. :P
The truth is we need a new James Bond actor. Why - because the new actor will have a different approach, a different sensibility. He won't be moping about Vesper or Dench's M, he won't worry about QUANTUM or SPECTRE or any other group with capital letters. No, the new Bond will be a fresh start and this will inspire the next director. Chris Nolan will be desperate to take on Bond 25 because it's a new start.
Barbara has to get over her infatuation with Daniel. With due respect to the guy, he said he'd only return for the money and Barbara Broccoli is content with this attitude? You should have a bit more respect, Babs. You don't need Craig and the fans don't need him. It's time to move on. You hired Boyle to give you a different Bond film and then you say no and reject his ideas. It's clear you're stuck in a creative rut and that is due to your inability to know what to do with Craig's Bond. SPECTRE was the perfect ending to Craig's run but you're forcing the issue, trying to restart the ending with Bond 25 and look where it's got you...
IN A RIGHT MESS!
Delay Bond 25 for a year, pay off Craig, find a younger guy, perhaps one with a some playful flair and a reasonably handsome face, and off you go again. Bond 25 - a fresh start. If you stick with Craig you're just going nowhere. Daniel Craig was a decent Bond but his time ended in SPECTRE. Blofeld captured, SPECTRE defeated, C killed, Bond and Swann driving off to pay the London congestion charge... er I mean drive off into the metaphorical sunset. THE END.
All you've done is force the ending and it's left you without a director. Time for a change. Time for a new Bond. James Bond.
?
I agree with you 100 percent. It seems Daniel Craig is to Barbara Broccoli what Roger Moore was with her father. Keep Ralph Fiennes as M and Ben Whislaw as Q is all I ask. And please make the new 007 a unknown. Less pressure!
Seriously, this wasn’t about a casting decision...
Agreed 100%.
Well done, mate. I think we are a silent majority that agrees with you.
Honestly, like in Sir Roger’s Days— there mayve been actors who could bring this or that, but not what he was bringing in completion.
It now may be the same (and I agree, Huddleston looks like he’s always sucking on a very thin straw at all times, and there is nothing masculine about him; Cavill is dumb but looks great; Thor is hot and maybe has potential of all the known leads... but if I want consistency, like in the Rog days? Gimme Craig over these guys)
Agreed. Unlike in 04 when there was Jackman and Clive Owen amongst others, there's really no one that jumps out at me yet. Then again my dad and i shat on the Craig casting and were blown away a year later.
Craig didn't get on with Martin Campbell!
Craig didn't get on with Sam Mendes!
It looks like Craig didn't get on with Danny Boyle. Boyle must have thought "seven months with this guy? - no thanks, I'm off!"
LOL!
Perhaps the reason Bond 25 is in the mess it's in... is Craig? Perhaps he's a bit toxic:
Dude, it’s James Bond. It’s. James. Bond. James Bond
Well said!!
