Or the precise opposite.
Fukunaga could be taking the time to cement his vision for Bond.

Then why don’t we take another year to get the script right?
I second that emotion. Barbara Broccoli is a she devil. Christopher Nolan is our savior. We get it.
Thirded. Back off the thread I go, now that I know the stirrer of the pot of crazy potion has returned to add little and inflame many.
Thank you, sir @Univex -- unfortunately this is a business and release dates are a game of chess. Every year, half a dozen, to a dozen films, are moved from their release dates. The distributors are being advantageous.
It's a business.
B25 will start on, or close to the original date (I have only heard March 2019).
And I will stick to that @PanchitoPistoles ...
(plus, I saw some lovely pics from Goldeneye today (not a location, but Jamaica surely is almost a done deal).
I stand by all of this (once again Panchito, release dates are a distributors game)
+1
Oh, I'm very enflamed right now. My temper at this very moment is the Skyfall explosion.
As always Peter eases any doubt I have. I mean they sincerely. Thanks man!
Oh, and @PanchitoPistoles (and any doomsy-types); isn't it funny that "official word" came about re: the change of release date? And it came "fast n furious" (pun intended)???
But none about a change in shooting schedule? (after all stunt men are booked ahead of time for other gigs. Make-up. Set and lighting...)
If anything, shooting begins in March because things have been locked down; it does give CF and the editors more time in the room, though, which will be nice for them-- after filming is complete.
I wouldn't mind this at all if EoN weren't so detached from their fan base. I get that no one is obligated to do anything but Bond fans show up and show out and yet get the short end of the stick from EoN. They do too much taking and not enough giving back in any meaningful capacity.
I love Bond and will ALWAYS be a fan but I find EoN's lack of communication with fans disappointing and their PR strategy in general is practically tone deaf. Hiwever, if that's how they choose to be then fair enough but I have other franchises, films and other things to easily prioritise where I'm part of a fan base and communities that isn't treated like an afterthought.
You obviously haven’t read my comment. I explicitly wrote that the reason I’m expecting an apology is NOT that they were wrong but that they constantly berated people who dared to say they might be wrong.
Also, what’s up with the passive aggressiveness? Nobody is forcing you to read my comments.
"This is all the game of the biz. Nothing about production.
Filming will start in March in some capacity, coz they gotta get talent that's booked on this project WORKING. If not, they will go to their next job."
Ralph Fiennes is a busy guy. So are people behind the scenes. They still hafta shoot this film in the allotted schedule days, or this production will start to bleed their talent (above and below the line).
You would think that when they tweeted the change of release date, they would've also stated that the film would also delay the start of production. But they didn't, because it was the decision of the distributors, not EON.
This I do agree with. EON do need to step up their game in this regard.
At this point the notion that filming will start in 16 days is just ridiculous. It might start in March as Peter says, but there is no way it will start in just 16 days.
Or there's no third filming start date in the first place.
And before I get accused of being "an insider"; I'm just a writer who knows a couple of people associated with EoN (and, to date, any news I HAVE received, and usually put on this site, has always been accurate (even when those on this site said it was "speculation" about, i.e., Boyle's exit (yet trade papers started to report, verbatim, what I said-- two weeks after I reported what I had heard).
So knowing that a shooting schedule has been made (of course, any tweaks can be made to it, but generally...), this production has to start in and around the shooting date that's been established (or you will bleed talent, lose talent and lose tens of million of dollars-- UNIVERSAL, the big fish, ain't gonna let that happen. This decision to push the release date is a UNIVERSAL/distributors decision. April/Easter date is a more savy business move. And this move happens all the time).
I have not been privy to the exact date, but I do know this film is a go in March 2019.
I don't think anyone apart from some fans care when the production start date is so I don't know why people are getting so worked up over it
