You hear, Morrissey?
This is a good thing if true. If a delay needs to happen to get the script right im all for it.
Me too. I miss an intelligent film, with intelligent dialogue. Fukunaga is sure to bring that to the table.
Sorry I was bored and it just popped into my head.
Just reading through the 200+ posts since this was announced, has been hilarious as well as moments of slapping my head in disbelief.
My guess is that this is just typography chosen for the circumstance. However, it will be a nice touch if the marketing campaign uses some of the same typography as the announcement post(s). Maybe as a secondary font, much like Stainless Extended for the Spectre campaign.
This is confirmed by a crew member I know: there is still ongoing work on the script, they do not have every location locked and no shooting plan has been handled to the crew yet. He had some doubts production would start 4th March as planned. Funnily he told me so a few hours before Eon's announcement of the delay.
Just getting back on here. I'm not taking time to read all the responses yet, but I will go back in a bit. Honestly, I am not concerned ... but I feel many people will be up in arms about this. I'd rather have a delay of approximately 2 months and get everything polished, exactly right than meet a self imposed earlier deadline. We have a very talented director, main cast (except villain), and because of this particular director I'm not worried about the script. And I think April will be fine for opening the film, heading it into the summer season. Happy to have some news, so at least that speculation is finished. Now I'll get some popcorn and go read comments.
Oh and I did see this on twitter, by our member here, Mark O'Connell. Maybe it's been posted in this thread already, I don't know, but here is the link: https://markoconnell.co.uk/the-devil-in-the-detail/
And here is a bit from it that I think has good point (re some Bond fans being highly upset by this delay in the release: (the underline is from me, not in the article) ~
This isn’t just fans throwing their Corgi Astons out their prams. This is some fans kicking off because this is less a delay in a film’s release and more of a [perceived] delay in knowledge and ownership of a particular film.
Someone's intel is wrong.
very interesting
Exactly. A delay in and of itself is not an issue. I would have no problem with a 1 year or even 2 year delay if Boyle were still on board.
Bingo. It's safe to say the reactions would have been very different had they presented this news in a better way. "Hey, the movie has been delayed. Also, we will be holding a press conference on this date. Stay tuned."
Having said that, he is no Danny Boyle and his Bond film won't be a once-in-a-lifetime Bond movie, like Danny Boyle's Bond 25 would have been.
Please don't say that! That's exactly the situation they were in when they were making Spectre, and we all know how that turned out.
Who knows? Maybe a DB Bond film would have turned out horrible?
I suspect it would.
Yes, that makes sense. Also other polishing of the story; fine by me. The script is always, always critically important. Cary is a very good storyteller; that is why I am sailing through this time rather unperturbed. I believe location shooting happening soon (2nd unit, whatever) and in Pinewood in a month or so ... it's all nothing to get worried about, in my opinion.
No shooting plan has been handed to the crew yet? Wtf? So I’m guessing that means March 4th is not happening?
Forum members are entitled to express their opinion on the production. If certain members annoy you, it's very easy to ignore them. I don't agree with a lot of posts, but that doesn't give me the right to tell them not to post. It's pretty selfish to demand actions against those who you find annoying, as if you have some sort of authority on what people can and cannot say. MI6 is already a gentleman's club. Not a frat house echo-chamber.
Panchito at his worst makes me laugh. I don't see why he bothers a lot of people.
Personally, his films have never resonated with me. I’m also not a fan of his treatment of female characters. They feel quite weak and under-utilised, often reduced to the love interest role, with the exception of Naomi Harris in 28 Days Later, but then again I don’t think she was used as much as she could’ve been.
As for Fukunaga, I completely trust him. It’s a nice change to have a director who also understands the scriptwriting process. So, if these rumours regarding the script being worked on are true, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it was Fukunaga who requested more time for it. We all know that he likes to get his projects right and this fills me with more confidence than Boyle ever could have.
Agree completely with DarthDimi’s comments. There is PLENTY of content for us to enjoy in the meantime, and the whining accomplishes exactly nothing. Identifying a problem and suggesting that the series could be better is not the same thing as complaining, however. My approach is to forget about bond 25 altogether until filming.
LOL THIS IS GETTING BETTER & BETTER.
He didn't say for sure. But he had doubts. Now with new annoucement it's giving them a bit room to maneuver. When he said there was work being done on the script he didn't say whether it was about major changes or minor details. Of course he couldn't go into much detail.
Absolutely not. My position on this is still that Craig should be bond for eternity. Best thing to happen to the franchise since Connery.
It was never a question of being annoyed by someone or someone's opinion. I don't get why you and others don't understand that. It's about someone's soul purpose being to upset other members by reiterating his position ad nauseam. He's still doing it. And even to me. And my response to it was erased, censored. Listen, like I said, I'm out. I don't care. If you and the moderators don't understand this, it's your problem. Not mine. Not anymore. I'm just here for the birds, oh and for Bond25, which thankfully is being made by producers who know this sort of thing is an event, and have learned not to rush things like they did other times. I say, good for them. And eventually, for us.
