What’s been going on all this time? I would LOVE to know. It’s perplexing. So much wasted time with such an incredible leading man.
If Craig or Fukunaga walks this late in the game I’ll be crushed. All I’ve wanted is one last Daniel Craig Bond movie, and right now it just feels like it’s not going to happen despite EON being “thrilled” to lock in April 2020.
Mark my words, there will be another delay.
The only chat about Cary leaving has been from people on here (or maybe other Bond sites; I don't check them often at all). No substantial info on that; just a rumor.
That's fair enough. I mean of course I'm hoping for the best and want a great Bond film, but given the news bits we have gotten so far my concern is greater than my excitement right now. If Craig and/or Fukunaga leaves, we'll almost certainly be in "blow it all up" mode and no one will be very happy. But that of course is worst-case scenario, and let's all hope it doesn't come to that. I'm just anxious it's more likely than we'd like given all the trouble.
Barbara and Michael then decide to take a much needed break due to the fatigue caused by the non-start of this project. More than half a decade passes while Barbara works on other projects and Mickey G retires.
Eventually Barbara gets around to working another one picture distribution deal and a release date is again set for the 25th Bond epic : November 2042 in time for the series' 80th anniversary. Rumors still abound that Elba is to take over as Bond. However, Craig agrees at the age of 74 to return for his final outing.
B25 promises to continue from where SP left off with Lea Seydoux confirmed to return and we're promised a more personal story-line.
Seriously, April 2020 is only a 2 month delay. In the grand scale of things it's nothing. I doubt Cary is going to jump ship at this point.
Pay it no attention at this time
Easy for us. Heavy lifting for EoN.
It got Him hired by eon and approved by Craig. I don't think it could have been abysmal to make it that far
I don’t have the slightest clue what did he pitch them that got him hired, only to be fired with a good riddance after his ideas started to unfold. It must have been pretty abysmal. Well... the blurb alone is.
Read this it goes into hodge and Boyle https://www.mi6-hq.com/sections/articles/bond-25-new-writer-to-overhaul-shooting-script?id=04454
Well said.
Agreed. Baseless speculation. Even if you are a skeptic.
This isn't about making money per sé. Every commercial movie is in the business of making money but just because a film makes a lot of money it doesn't mean that it's good or can't be disappointing.
What does this even mean? My own opinion? Yes, I'm able to conclude what I enjoy or find disappointing based on my own opinions after assessing what s been presented to me rather than blindly accepting any rubbish just because it's got the Bond name slapped on it or because other people think contrary to what I do.
What's your point? And again, money isn't the issue here. These films will ALWAYS make money. That's never been a point to dispute.
What exactly in my post are you referring/responding to because honestly I have no idea what you're on about.
And? I'm supposed to have a problem with this?? How you feel about any film is how YOU feel. I couldn't care less.
That's a silly assumption to make based on what I wrote, if indeed you actually bothered to read it. If I'm going to say anything I'll just flat out and say it....conspicuously. I'm not suggesting or insinuating that EoN sell, I just want them to do a better job as producers and to take serious charge over their property; and surprise-surprise you missed my point entirely about the comparison to Marvel Studios.
Again, you're making points tgat aren't relevant to my post but in any case, the Bond films as of late don't even feel special NOW and as an event film can't match the hype, critical reception and Box Office numbers of the Avengers movies (these are statistical facts and I don't care how anyone personally feels about those films. I'm just making an objective point)... and are you seriously talking about other films/franchises being formulaic????? Bond is KING of being formulaic.
However you can still see his number of posts/number of followers and people following.
I checked yesterday and again today and he unfollowed around 10 people since the Burns story broke.
Difficult to work with? Really? I feel like they're too laissez faire and not strict enough.
I’m sorry @Pierce2Daniel but this has nothing to do with Bond25
At this point it’s merely speculation and guesswork on your part.
Your contribution to this thread, and the forum as a whole is appreciated as are all members opinions.
But this isn’t news or connected to Bond 25 apart from Fukunaga being the films director. There could be any number of reasons for him to unfollow people.
It’s purely speculation but 90% of this thread is speculation. Then around 8% arguing who the composer should be and around 2% news.
And it all turned out pretty ok I think
Isn’t this how the MI movies get done these days?
Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if the movie gets delayed even further or even people like the director leaving. Nothing about Bond25 wouldn't surprise me anymore.
And to people claiming we could get a great film out of all the troubles behind the scenes are right. There are examples of that. However, there are far more examples of movies that turned out abysmal because of all the shenanigans going on during the production...
Yes, I am worried.
