"I need to know that I can trust you." And "I do bad things because Mommy/Daddy like you more."
Melodrama to the max.
yep. the endless trust issues Dench's M had with both Brosnan and Craig became utterly tedious. she just came across as fickle and and incompetent by the time of SF.
Comedy gold @RC7, steady on about Coventry I was born there, don't worry I hate the place, please don't send me there.

S.J. Clarkson has never helmed a movie before. She's a TV director that's only under consideration as she'll do what she's told by Eon. Also, the optics of having a female director would represent a nice bit of damage control after the Danny Boyle fiasco.
Bart Layton is a filmmaker I know very little about. I've heard some great things about American Animals and The Imposter caused some real waves a few years ago. He's a documentary filmmaker though, and clearly has a unique style and approuch of adopting dramatic enactments with real interviews. He's a BAFTA winner and someone who may actually be a genuinely exciting choice...perhaps.
I think this is really Yann Demange's job to loose. At least the tone of Justin Kroll's article seems to suggest that if Eon are impressed with White Boy Rick, they'll give him Bond 25.
So, your final three.........
S.J. Clarkson
Collateral (BBC mini-series)
The Defenders (Netflix show)
Life on Mars
Orange Is the New Black
Bart Layton
The Imposter
American Animals
Yann Demange
'71
White Boy Rick
Thank you, Peter.
Great concept; no action.
Eon and Universal want some writers on board to "punch up" the action (as anyone from this storied franchise would). Boyle probably wasn't happy about this.
B25, when it comes out, will be the Hodge script, but punched up with "polishers".
There was, perhaps, a blowout about characterization (but nothing about killing 007, literally), between DC and DB...
(there are a couple new names I've never heard of entered into today's Variety).
There were definite claims from the Hollywood Reporter-- and other legit outlets-- that there was a delay, B25 missed release dates... Anyone who PM'd me from the start heard that that was not the case (from over two weeks ago!). And it takes a Variety article (over 2 weeks later) to verify-- guess @ColonelSun knows what he speaks of... maybe??? Or, that's right, what he says is not new and unsubstantiated).
Could a delay happen? Of course. Anything can. But the producers at EoN and Universal are too busy meeting potential replacements for Boyle.
Delaying the release dates has not yet entered the picture...
I am fine with any of them though I prefer Yann
The Variety scribe, after the story was published, tweeted out some significant information that should have been included in the story.
I could definitely get excited about McQuarrie. It’d be nice to see a Bond director that understands how to make a film a spectacle.
I think the London thing was from Cashley though. He himself admitted he was full of Roger Moore’s useful 4 letter word.
