I think Boyle's Bond will be one of the biggest "What ifs" in the history of this franchise..
I really wanted to see Boyle's Bond :( :(
P.S. What detective movie is the title of this thread referencing?
PM me.
Correct.
Do you know something @peter
The release dates will be met

I've said it before but Boyle is all about plot. He'd only be on board if he felt he had a good story to tell - unlike Mendes for whom the plot was entirely secondary. A shame he didn't stay to see through his vision.
I know there is some link to EON, however close or far, I do not know ... with the people who own or run this website. That's fine. Them tweeting that Boyle's idea was great is fine with me. But we still do not know if EON is going to use most of his script, darn near all of it, only bits and pieces, or what.
To say "what could have been" purposely leads us to think Hodge's script will not be used OR at least the exciting main idea will not be used. I simply want clarify on that.
@NicNac, @DarthDimi, @Benny and higher admin. powers that be, @JamesPage ~
If the people who run this website have the info available, it would be best for everybody (just my opinion) if they would clear up the particulars about the script:
(without spoilers!)
1) How much of Hodge's script will probably be used, as it stands now? 50% 80% 10%
2) Is the main idea that had EON excited and sold on this script now gone, for sure?
And why would it be gone? EON owns the script and can use any part of it they want to. Why would EON toss that idea if they liked it so much. They don't have to.
3) Are P&W coming back at all? I am fine if they are, either for main script or additional work on Hodge's script. Other writers confirmed yet?
I'd just like this script cleared up a bit (without spoilers) ... and the new director confirmed this month. I think both are possible to be achieved.
I have no doubt that @peter is correct and EON is still intending to release the movie in 2019, but it won't be the edgy, high-octane, groundbreaking Bond film we were promised.
Bottom line is a great script, no matter who writes it - but I sure want more info, and I think they can give us more in a fair way.
Chewing on this same bone has not been very nutritious. ;)
I mean, do we really need more “edgy”?
A template Bond like the Glen films would be great.
EON shouldn’t fall into the trap of trying too hard to carve out new territory. At this point, a comfortable pair of socks will do. A film that doesn’t need to focus on Bond’s vulnerabilities or emotions.
Post of the millennium.
