I mean, all EON gave us today was "we're thrilled" to be pushing the movie back. Lol.
Anyone want to play poker now.
Hey guys. A question: did EoN delay this RELEASE date? or did the DISTRIBUTOR (in this case Universal)?
Think about it for a second:
EoN, an independent film company, involved in PRODUCTION and DELIVERY of their films, told UNIVERSAL-- the DISTRIBUTOR--, we delay the release date??
THAT'S NOT HOW THIS BUSINESS IS RUN...
The release date HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PRODUCTION COMPANY. Is that understood? Eon. Has. Nothing. To. Do. With. The. Release date!
That's Universal's business.
Edit: as someone just mentioned: universal moved its FF film from this Easter date to dump it's James Bond film into this date. This is a distribution drop, not an EoN decision.
Gahhhhgh...
Preach @peter
Eh, by tomorrow it won't be a big deal. But it still stings!
Edit : and I definitely appreciate the insider scoops you have given us @peter, and others, thanks for that.
It was delayed the first time because of PRODUCTION ISSUES: the director was fired and replaced.
This time there is no firing, no re-casting of James Bond.
This is a distributers decision to capitalize on box office.
And @ShakenNotStirred --- thank you man for being kind to us just reporting what we're hearing, lol.

Most likely. It will just be an accomplishment if we can keep it in 2020 now.
I see what you did there.
With all due respect, he’s right, and his choice of words is mild, particularly when compared to others who chose to voice themselves far more aggressively and are rarely chastised.
Most of us have been frustrated with this seemingly stumbling production; while most express themselves rationally, and respectfully, there are s number of squirrels, with one particularly nutty one , who appear to relish any chaos they can create.
Fascinating, out of curiosity, how does one delete an account?
It is the most delayed bond film of all time
Variety is still saying March 4th
GoldenEye’s been delayed more, I feel. 1991 then 1993 then 1994 then 1995, I believe.
=))
They can do this further by making Bond 25 a straight to DVD release starring only C-list Hallmark movie actors. :D
Exactly. Would have softened the blow. If I had to guess we’ll probably have to wait until April for it.
Accounts are never deleted, members (who are not banned) are free to post when they want. Some decide to take a sabbatical and pop in less frequently. It's entirely up to each individual member.
This latest news is obviously not what anyone wanted. But it is a distribution decision. Whilst it's a setback for when we all thought the film would be released, there's nothing we as fans can change about it.
I did wonder if it has anything to do with Maleks schedule on Mr.Robot. Perhaps by having a slightly longer production schedule, Rami Malek's is able to appear in Bond 25.
I think that after Universal pushed Fast & Furious 9 to May 2020, they told EON that B25 would now take over the newly vacant date.
Pretty much wouldn't be surprised at this point
