That’s either a good sign, or a bad sign. I can’t determine which.
I still think this is the likely fate for Madeleine Swann.
You're misunderstanding the situation. Hodge was Eon's employee, and the announcement is that he is not their employee any longer. They own his script because he wrote it for them.
McClory is a totally different situation. Fleming collaborated with the others then went out and wrote a novel on his own. It was never an employer-employee relationship.
Me neither, Mr Biswas.
"Red Herring" is a good working title for the next one.
Surely if they are going for YOLT there'd be news that Waltz was back on board?
I just hope its all making a lot more sense to EON right now.
I find it odd that other than the big casting fallout, we haven't heard anything about casting. Minor things from Waltz and Bautista, that's it. At this point, we don't even know if Ralph Fiennes will be back as M.
He also said that he wasn't the head of Spectre.

Look what happened.
I'd go with THE PROPERTY OF A LADY, then follow it up with RISICO. I like THE HILDEBRAND RARITY as well.
but SP clearly set things up a YOLT
Just because Waltz might not return does not automatically mean Blofeld will not.
Usually the placeholder is Bond 23, Bond 24, or whatever. That's why Shatterhand is a curious detail.
My thoughts exactly. Blofeld's alive for a reason.
How much is EON paying you for these comments?
To be honest I'd prefer a more standalone adventure and the only character that I really want to come back in a Craig 007 is Wright's Felix. It would be nice to have also Fiennes, Harris and Whishaw back, but in significantly smaller roles than the last two outings.

This. If Blofeld returns, I would expect a new actor and not many references to SP.
I think it was how everything was written, and him having to lie about everything that he did. He probably doesn’t want to look like a hypocrite. He still deserves a second chance, with better material.
Yeah, no need to downplay events. This was a big thing to go wrong, so much is uncertain right now, like whether we will be getting Bond 25 this decade or next. Certainly not business as usual, anyway.
It most certainly does. If the film is a follow up to SP then they 100% won't recast.
Once again, my thoughts exactly. Someone who REALLY needs to be in a 007 film.
Ofcourse, it's not like this is something the franchise has done many times before.
True, but if I recall correctly YOLT's Blofeld is the same OHMSS's Blofeld. He only changes his hair and he's bulkier. In fact, Bond recognizes him in a picture. Correct me if I'm wrong.
BTW a recast is not the end of the world. But after Spectre, where they tied up all Craig's movies plus the brother angle, it would have been weird to see Blofeld played by a new actor. At least to me.
I doubt Blofeld / SPECTRE will return. Just saying, in the off chance that they do, I don't think Waltz would return, or much of the SP film would be that involved. I'm fairly confident we will get a more standalone-type outing like CR or SF (they still can count as standalones too - just ignore the dumb SP retconning).
