    As much as I would have preferred that Bond 25 arrive sooner, I think the delay will ultimately end up making the experience -- through shooting, and seeing the final product -- that much sweeter.

    Not that I'm advocating for delays this long. 4+ years mid-era is certainly stretching it.

    But if the turmoil we've been through during the last year was the price of where we are now -- which I'm tremendously excited about -- then it was a price worth paying.

    Happy to get the news whenever we get it.

    Somebody asked baz and he responded last week saying he had to get to work alluding to a B25 scoop that's why there's a good chance we might get something tonight.

    Perhaps Baz’s just getting badgered by ppl like our poster (I know I did!), and he just was saying, tongue in cheek, that he better get back to work.
    No news last week.
    I doubt anymore than that this week.

    I assume it was you who asked Baz if he is dropping Bond25 news soon. Did he ever respond?

    Yes, I tweeted him earlier in the week I believe. No response.

    I’m not expecting anything beyond rumors really until January/February. I think Danny Boyle’s abrupt exit in particular has put many on edge, and understandably so.

    . . . and the Sony leaks.
    And the state of the script.
    And striking the sets.
    And the way SP was handled.
    And the busy schedules of the principals.
    And the growing lag between films.
    And etc etc etc . . .

    I'm not an entitled fan who demands my cake and eat it, now; it's rather that I'm simply wary given EON's recent track record, and the track record of B25 in particular. The odd morsel saying that things are on track would be comforting, similarly (and I keep saying this) some old-fashioned salesmanship from EON telling us they're toiling hard on a great movie that they can't wait to share with us.

    Secondly, there's the concern that as timelines push out, the margin for error decreases; if Craig happens to break his leg or some such, it would surely see the release get sent way back.

    The proof is in the pudding.

    Could be @Blofeld0064 , I just had my own communications with that poster, and I know he gets aggressive for news. And when he doesn’t get it....
    So I just took Baz’s words as tongue in cheek, lol

    I'm not one to toot my own horn, but.....Baz does tend to respond to my tweets only when it comes to Bond.

    This is me:
    https://twitter.com/AmanPuni

    We've grown a certain kinship over twitter and he tends to message me back. In the last update he even asked how I was. I could ask again, but last week he indicated that he was working on something, so let's leave him be for the meanwhile...

    Also, Baz dropped a big scoop yesterday about Lily James and Armie Hammer staring in a remake of Rebecca, so perhaps he's moved his scoop day from Thursdays to Wednesdays. In which case, we missed this week already.

    All food for thought.

    I saw that scoop. I truly enjoyed the novel and am excited to see what Ben Wheatley can do with it. I dont know if anyone saw High Rise but it's very atmospheric something any adaptation of Rebecca would need. Also could see Ben doing a Bond film in the future.

    Danny Boyle's BOND 25 begins filming in 18 days!
    Cary Fukunaga's BOND 25 begins filming in 109 days!

    This is a great time to be a Bond fan!

    I highly doubt those photos are recent. If you're in London you'd know it's far from tshirt and shorts weather. That photo was evidently taken in summer.

    I apologize it's from Greenwich Connecticut I mistook it for Greenwich in London. Though they are still likely old photos.

    This is the best time to be a Bond fan, in my opinion. Let me tell you why it is for me.
    We do have news before the films comes out - and it is up to us, we have choices, how to shape that. How much we learn. Granted, it is difficult at times when media becomes flooded with the news. But we have choices if we have self restraint and at least an idea of how much we really truly want to know ahead of the film's premiere.

    I grew up loving Bond films and with NO news at all before the film came out, other than the lead actors. Whatever ad was put out. That's it. It seemed like a long wait at times (well, sometimes it sure was a long wait - LTK to GE!!) but yet, even back in the Connery to Moore years, it was exciting. The NOT knowing much at all was in itself a nice tension for me. I was so eager when I walked into the theater and sat down. Just waiting for it all to be revealed - like the best Xmas present ever. I wanted to be surprised, amazed, taken on a Bond adventure that was utterly fresh for me.

    I managed to avoid the spoilers for Skyfall. I chose to know a bit more about Spectre but avoided main (plot) spoilers. I will at some point again leave this forum as Bond 25 approaches. But these days I have every Bond film at my fingertips, forums to chat on, a wealth of great books on Bond films ... yes, this is a great time to be a Bond fan. I just know myself so I can make it be the best experience that I want it to be. The wait for Bond 25 does not bother me one bit. I am thrilled Cary is on board. Yes, James Bond will return ... and I will happily have an appetizer of news beforehand, but not the main course.

    It is the best time to be a Bond fan. While waiting for the new movie, I discovered the greatness of the books and Dynamite Comics, while playing the video games. While waiting for something you can discover something new that's great!

    My favorite time to be a Bond fan was the months leading up to/few months after the release of SF. I have only been a fan since about 2007, but that time period for me at least was a perfect time to be a Bond fan. The whole 50th anniversary thing, SF becoming one of my favorites, and still discovering lots of stuff in the old films. It was probably the time I had the highest level of excitement as a Bond fan.

    For me personally, with Bond 25, my excitement should rise a lot more once we get title/casting/filming news. Being in the dark for me with the next movie is sort of a less interesting time as a Bond fan for me. There is a ton of new information ahead to look forward to, but I need to be in the midst of it for my excitement to really take off.

    Let’s say they reveal some developments. Now let’s be negative for a second and say those developments are not to our liking. Maybe even make us flat-out cringe. What will you do? You’ll only get more stressed and won’t be able to do one single thing about it. So what’s the point? Might as well just wait until release date. It’s not like you’ll fly over to Pinewood and take control of the situation and make the movie yourself as you would like to see it. We’ll get whatever they give us. Nothing we can do about it. Not until I’m chosen as the director for Bond 26 (yes, I’m on the shortlist).

    I agree. I´m on my third Fleming novel in row at the Moment, something that I didn´t do since my teenage years.

    Cary seems to be the right choice based on his words. Perhaps Boyle/Hodge did not follow the right traditions. I also think it’s neat that AVTAK was Cary’s first Bond film. Underrated film there. I wouldn’t mind seeing some inspiration from AVTAK for Bond 25.

    New Cary Fukunaga interview! He reveals his insight into the story of Bond 25

    Cary-Fukunaga5_web-768x710.jpg
    https://entertainment.inquirer.net/305220/cary-fukunaga-first-asian-american-to-direct-007-film-talks-about-bond-25

    Very interesting interview and probably the most revealing insight into what he is doing on Bond 25:

    - The story will follow Craig's narrative arc that began with CR;
    - Fukunaga hints that Christoph Waltz may return;
    - Exotic locations confirmed; and
    - He's writing the script.

    It didn't say he's writing the script. More likely he's contributing to it on the general surface.

    The most interesting part of that interview is that B25 will follow the events of the last four films.
