    If @Thunderfinger doesn't make at least a cameo in it, I'll be disappointed.

    I think the Russian angle went out with Boyle, sadly.
    Every time I think about the great Danny Boyle, I get furious. I will never forgive EON for what they have done to him. Yes, Fukunaga is a great director and Bond 25 might end up being a really good movie, but Danny Boyle's BOND 25 would have been truly special.

    You obviously read the script for it. Do tell.

    The version I read and the reason I assume Panchito wanted it is

    The film ends with Bond deciding to write novels based on his exploits and a young British Film maker name Chris Nolan wants to direct them (Nolan himself as a cameo) the whole thing reeks of meta stupidity the kids are into these days and frankly happy we dodged that bullit

    Lol quit giving EON ideas @Risico007

    No, I didn't read the script. I just have watched most of Boyle's movies. The guy is a genius.

    Hopefully we get action scenes like this, stunts, soundtrack, cinematograpy (!), all works perfectly

    Other than measurable IQ, assessing someone a genius is extremely subjective; one man’s trash is another’s treasure.

    You missed referring to Nolan as "The Great Christopher Nolan". I award you points for effort though.

    Why? Why is Boyle a genius? I've been a cinema buff all of my life, and I've seen most of Boyle's films, and I've yet to understand why people consider him a genius. Kubrick, Bergman, Fellini, Godard, Lean, just to name a few, are genius. Cuarón, Lynch, Coppola, Scorcese, Malick, Campion, De Toro, Almodóvar, ...I could go on. These are the GREAT ones. Why is Boyle a genius?

    Sure, he has one of the most varied filmographies of any director, Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, 28 Days Later, Millions, Sunshine and Slumdog Millionaire. The Beach, for heaven's sake, is a mess. And I won't see any of those films again. Ever. They just don't resonate with me. Are they visually appealing? Most of them, to me, are just appalling.

    I hate the Transpotting films, I hate zombie flicks, Slumdog is a rather offensive film and I'm not going to go down the politics-social road, that is a never ending drop into an abyss I rather stay away from. Salman Rushdie said it all when he commented about that film. But mostly, I hate films that look like something out of MTV, which all of them are. He direct everything like a bloody music videoclip. And that so called effort he made with Craig for the Olympics is cringeworthy. The colours, the slow motion corgis. Awful, all of it.

    So why? Why is Danny Boyle a genius? I, for one, don't agree, not one bit. And I'm happy he's not directing a Bond film.

    There, said my bit.

    Cheers.

    I like the Trainspotting films but agree with everything else here.

    I like Boyle and I like a chunk of his filmography but I agree, he's not a genius. He does have a distinct visual style, a great ear for soundtrack, and has added a couple of very good flourishes to his works, but overall he's rather workmanlike in his storytelling approach. I wouldn't say I'm happy he's not directing a Bond film, but I'm not heartbroken either.

    Cary Fukanaga is not a genius either (the word genius is so overused) but having seen most of his stuff, I think he's a much better fit for Craig at this point and time.

    Not yet, he isn't. But he could be, he can be, if he finds a distinct voice, style, gravitas. He's still a kid. What he's done so far is pretty impressive. He was 33 years old when he directed Jane Eyre, (Granted, at 33 I had 7 published books already). Still, that is impressive. Some of his work I do like, some i don't. Still, not a genius. Not a proven one, not yet. Let's see. I do hope he has a long career, untarnished by the Bond gig. Helped by it, if anything.

    Absolutely. He has punched very high and very hard very early, and I do hope this is just the start of a long and prosperous career for him.

    I personally don't care whether Cary Fukanaga is a genius filmmaker. I think any one could have been hired for this job and there would be those on these threads that sing their praises regardless.

    Had Clint Eastwood, for instance, been hired instead of Fukanaga, I think many would now be saying GRAN TORINO feels more like a James Bond movie than OHMSS and so forth.

    I'm glad Fukanaga is a director I'm not overly familiar with. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

    Whishaw casts doubts on his return.

    [Whishaw doesn’t expect to continue with the Bond franchise now that Mendes has departed from it, though he has nothing but praise for incoming director Cary Fukunaga: “I’m not even sure if I’ll be in it. I’m assuming that I’m not going to be so it will be a nice surprise if they put me in. I think it’s right he and Daniel need to just figure it out. I’ve done two; I’ve had a good run.” Still, Skyfall will always mark the beginning of a new era in Whishaw’s career. “I was in a film that people actually saw,” he said, good-humoredly. “I mean, [that] lots of people actually saw—and that really changed things.”]

    https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/12/ben-whishaw-profile-mary-poppins-returns

    Huh? Why is Whishaw doubting his return? The Bond team is notorious for keeping people onboard film after film, and didn't Fukunaga explicitly say he wants to keep the MI6 team? Apart from Craig, Whishaw is the last one I would expect not to return.

    I agree. Why would everyone else be back, except him? Kinnear is the only one who preceded Mendes, so that line of thinking makes no sense.

    I’m really puzzled by this new development. I thought Whishaw was already confirmed to be in Bond 25, along with Harris, Fiennes, and Seydoux?

    If Whishaw doesn't return in B25, I hope that the character is put on ice at least until the next Bond. And who knows, Whishaw may return as Q 10 or 20 years hence and give us a solid run.

    Actors, particularly on Bond films lie all the time. Think of Christoph Waltz all throughout SP.

    That was much more concise and clear, thank you. But if you noticed I began the statement with "If". So I understood/stand that nothing is set in stone.

    I guess the crux of this whole thing is whether the Whishaw interview was done before or after Baz's with Fukunaga

    I can't wait till we see the Heineken advert. I wonder when it will be released?
    Hopefully the producers put all the humour in the advert and leave most of it out of the movie

    That would be most interesting. Mainly as CJF usually works exclusively with Jenny Eagan. I presumed she'd be a show-in for the role.
    https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0247064/

    Also, it seems that CJF has a pretty hipster-boujee style. So I expect Bond 25 to be a very stylish affair that's very 2018/consciously hip.

    He's the kinda guy I see out in Dalston all the time.
