You'd imagine the promotional campaign playing around with this for all it's worth!
I can definitly get behind christmas coming more than once a year.
Get hype! Nice work :)
February 20th, 2007?! Dammit, I missed it!
Cheers.
Apart from trying to gas-light a situation, I will point out a few things of my own:
Very few people (one, and sometimes two, in most cases), sided with a poster by the name of nosolaceleft--
Whatever our thoughts on the man, and I read his "novel", and I have plenty of adjectives, that I will put them aside-- he was far from humble, and;
He stretched decorum, at best.
So it's rich when some of his most strident defenders ask for humility and decor.
And, once again, steering gas-lighting aside, I will point out that everything the HWR and Variety started to report about one week ago, @ColonelSun was reporting weeks ago:
1/Danny Boyle left because of a casting over-rule by its lead actor Danny Craig... Uh... not true.
2/DB left because DC was a primadonna; also, not true: The two had issues with where the Bond character was going, as now reported.
3/Instead, @ColonelSun explained there were concerns about lack of budget/action in the script-- now verified weeks after posted.
4/CS said the producers wanted new writers on board to punch up this missing element in the script-- now verified after he posted-- and especially with the hiring of the new director...
5/CS said DB didn't want new writers on board-- verified after CS posted.
6/ people PM'd me asking what I knew, and I told them the truth: nothing. It's gone silent. And, because it's gone silent, I said to them, that means shit's going down. And shit went down. I have these PMs as proof.
So we can all make lists. And we can all gas-light BS.
So, instead of gas-lighting one's insecurities, lets just be happy that there's a genuine talent on board, a strong creative voice. He is gritty and real and naturally someone who is able to dig into the human condition without being melodramatic.
No, Fukunaga is not like David Lynch (as someone had said today!). Fukunaga is soooo his own visionanry. He's special. Unique. Masculine and visceral.
As I said earlier-- I could never see a Boyle Bond film. But I can see a Fukunaga Bond film...
I’m on board, Peter.
There are people who have taken a page out of a certain playbook: misinform and repeat or misdirect, or bend, and make it the truth.
Sometimes the truth is just the truth.
Bottom line for those not of us not trying to whip up some kind of argument: Cary Fukunaga is an incredible choice to book-end what started with Casino Royale!
The only thing I know for sure is that one can't properly judge a thing until they've seen the film. Myself included. So I'm hoping we can all share in the happiness that things are back on track and we're headed for an interesting result.
Now, the fun bits can resume! Location, casting, title song rumors. So much to talk about.
I agree, @AgentM72 , with all my heart. Let Cary do his thing and we will judge on Valentine's Day of 2020--
Will it be Cupid's bow?
Or Capone's Massacre?
Only the film will reveal.
just a guess, but; wouldn't Nov/Dec be the perfect time to roll out the first trailer??
P
Early November for the Teaser. Boxing Day/New Years Day for the Theatrical Trailer. Start rolling out the TV Spots then towards the end of January, blast them all the way to February 14th. Marketing will be key considering even the most casual of fans won't be used to seeing Bond in the February slot. The brand is obviously strong enough to get by, but they'll need to hit them with content on a holiday day for maximum impact.
I completely trust that this info is accurate.
Great post to move us forward and into greater discussion of and speculation on Bond 25.
Me: wondering if Fukunaga's previous collaborations come into play in casting a Bond Girl (Mia Wasikowski?) and villain (Luke Evans? Elba would be fascinating). What about the title song? Much to discuss until March!
It will be dropped before that. SP was dropped just three months into filming.
So I think the teaser for 25 will come out in summer.
I think the teaser trailer will drop, maybe, three months before that? Late summer, perhaps?
EDIT: I forgot about the fact Top Gun was delayed. So, scratch that.
Actually yes, this makes more sense. I'd imagine the teaser hitting sometime around mid-August. Universal have Hobbs & Shaw coming out then, so there would be a big audience for a Bond trailer to be attached to that. Maybe late November for the theatrical trailer instead.
