Thanks – good points from all of you! I don't know about Boyle, but with Fukunaga and other people with a TV production background joining the production – could that mean a more limited budget and/or less bigger sets, etc.?
The budget didn't do SP any favours, so a tighter budget would be very welcome, IMO.
And there will be set pieces, but I also am imagining something that relies more on creativity than it does on blowing the action budget.
Oh, I certainly meant a tighter budget for a Bond film – and not in film or TV in general. Do hope you'll be right about them relying more on creativity than blowing (up) the action budget. The smaller action scenes (about every train fight comes to mind) have always been great, I feel.
Idris Elba will never be Bond he’d be in his 50s by the time he could smh. Damn media!
It’s Craig’s last film give him some respect and stop talking about replacements.
I hope you hunch is right about that we're in for more of this. The parkour sequence is a brilliant example too (parkour was getting very popular around that time, I think), and one could argue that it's one of the best action sequences in the Craig era.
Amen. It’s interesting to consider who might be Bond next, but the primary focus should be Bond 25 until it’s released. We’re still so far from Bond 26 (no earlier than 2022, probably more like 23/24/25).
Personally I am happy and have plenty going on in my real life (a Batman style fitness regiment finding a new job and being able to give my current job a “farewell to arms” turning 32 being married my various retrospectives and of course training to be a better man all of this is what has taken up much of my time. Don’t get me wrong I love forums and debating rumors but I am just as fine with the down time
Now they do. And story comes first, especially with this filmmaker.
Surely that depends on how you define ‘small’? If a story has emotional impact it can feel ‘big’, regardless of locales, stunts etc.
This is very true. And most common in brilliant theatre pieces spent in only one room, and yet, they are huge in scope.
That bothers me as well as if the media is just aching to get Craig out of here.
What also bothers me is that, since this will be the 2nd longest gap in the series, this film should really jump start the franchise again, the way GOLDENEYE did. However, that's not the feeling I'm getting with this one considering it's most likely Craig's last.
That leads me to feel there will be an even much longer gap after B25.
So the "who will play Bond next" the media keeps bringing up is almost pointless as that seems still quite a long time away.
It’ll be someone who is between 25-30 right now. The media is rolling with people who are 35-50 which is stupid considering Craig’s last film comes out in 2020. Next film after that will most likely be 3-5 years after. So anyone the media picks will be 40-57 lmao.
They are so dumb they don’t realize that they don’t cast guys who are already in the last Bond film age. They cast guys who are in their mid to late 30s and they do 3+ films typically..
Yep, as I’ve said, you don’t need a traffic light to be free when you’re a block away.
He isn’t directing Bond 26
It's too late, the wolves have already eaten.
Is this a confession, then? Noted.
Bamigboye didn't report that Waltz was going to be Blofeld. That was from reporters over at the Mail on Sunday, the Daily Mail's sister publication.

A website called Best for Film was the first to report that Judi Dench's M would die in Skyfall. http://bestforfilm.com/film-news/bff-world-exclusive-insanely-massive-skyfall-news/
As for why is Bamigboye respected, a number of his scoops have been proven correct. Among them: Purvis & Wade were summoned back to rewrite SPECTRE and that Purvis & Wade were initially hired to write Bond 25 (March 2017 story, confrmed in July 2017 announcement).
Maybe not him personally but my point is tabloid newspapers and film/celebrity websites go out of their way to reveal spoilers that would have been better kept under wraps.
Anyone who works for either publication isn't exactly someone I have time for anyway, without getting into their far right nonsense they are a tabloid disguised as a broadsheet, utterly vulgar and full of rubbish.
I personally don't hang on every word of a journalist who works for them like some do.
Also I'm pretty sure Baz was instrumental in spreading the word of both rumours whether he was the original source, most mainstream journalism concerns copy and pasting other publications stories. Why go out and look for something original when you can parrot someone elses work instead.
