That sounds remarkably close to myself, on all points :) @NS_writings
Also, in the absence of news that we have right now, i simply CHOOSE to believe that EoN is cooking up what might be one of the best and most special films we ever had in the franchise, as there are absolutely no reasons not to.
Everything that lead up to this point were concious decissions, even the Boyle firing.
If EoN wanted to deliver a subpar film, they could have done so month ago. This is not their first rodeo.
I had no internet until I was 27.
But I am 52 now ;-)
@HalfOfEverything I took some creative licence to imagine it... :D
"Damn!!! James Bond is over forever!!! We will never have another Bond film in the rest of our lives, EON should give Bond to Kevin McClory, he can ask Connery back and make Never Ever Say Never Again."
Exactly, we won't know what's happening inside the 007 Stage. Maybe they don't want us to know for a reason.
I waited a long time before getting internet as well.
I'm with John McClane in that technology peaked with frozen pizza.
In fact I didn't even get into CD's until shortly before Ipods became the norm. Vinyl LPs all the way!
to be fair driving while listening to records usually makes the tracks skip
LOL! But a least you get that warm analog sound.

Ironically LTK and GE are two of my favourites, perhaps that’s why I’m largely ambivalent to what’s going on currently. Only back then they spent the entirety it seems of the six years actively trying to get a movie into production. Currently, I believe, and thus why I’m not worried, they only started looking seriously into B25 as of last year, with all the main players having decided to take a bit of a break and engage in other projects after Spectre. So it’s not like they’ve spent the entire gap between frantically trying to pull something together. It’s only the past several months things for B25 have really seriously seemed to come into play- including all the problems relating to it. Either way, It’s being made now, that’s mostly what matters!
(Also appreciate the defence @Minion :) )
Given their outfits it looks like it was during winter in New York, possibly Jan or Feb? The weather there would be so much warmer in April.
What happened to that?
My pleasure. As they say, welcome to the madhouse! :-D
I do think these were shot prior to his being seen leaving for London. While it is April, it is still in the lower 40s today in NY
Thank you @HalfOfEverything . As most 90s kid, I wasn't born with a PC and Internet in my house. In fact, when I first became a Bond fan in January 1998 all I had was a TV and cable service. I saw GoldenEye that way, after shortly playing a level of the game on a toy store when N64 was the boom. It wasn't until late 1999 or perhaps even mid 2000s that I had a VCR where I could finally watch all the Bond films that I started buying (and I still refuse to sell my VHS copies). Before that, I had to go to my dad's place (or my grandma's) where he had a rather rusty VCR and we rented the movies. As for internet, my other grandma had a PC because my dad went there during the weekends, and the old-dial up connection. I grew up in the days of Kimberly Last's site and the early days of JamesBond.com . Back then, as a 8-year-old kid, I cared little for information and I barely spoke English, so what I looked the most was images to print them in the old Epson LX810 :D
Exactly. In my case, GoldenEye is my all time favourite film - I even have dedicated a site to it (goldeneyedossier.blogspot.com). So I know the production was troubled and there were many, but many doubts regarding if Bond would be relevant in the 1990s. Also, the film was originally slated for June 1995, and due to complications and delays they moved it to November 1995. Read my interview with UA's Jeff Kleeman (he was also featured on MI6 Confidential), where he weighs in on the Bond 25 delays a little. He also says TND should have been delayed to April 1998 to avoid competing with Titanic and get better BO numbers. It's very interesting! In fact, as joking as my Twitter mockup was, to think how would people be upset now if this was 1990-1995, and if everyone was expecting an official word on every delay, every complication: the MGM/UA legal conflict, Dalton's departure, the June to November delay, etc. I think this interview is key to understand things that the impatience of new technologies avoid us to see...

What exactly is your concern? How do those tweets explain anything? Why should we care what someone says About Mendes next film? They also said About Mendes that SF was him getting his feet wet, and SP would be him Jumping all in, and look how that turned out. Why do you think some reps bull*****ng away to the public would say anything reliable About the film? The Producers not Publishing any Information is a Pretty good sign of them being busy at the Right Ends. If they would tell us this and that is going, then I would worry much more.
Shane on your acquaintance @RC7!
If you drive a van big enough for proper Speakers ;-).
Every time you use the word ‘presser’ EON delay the announcement by 2 days. Barbara told me.
I do believe I've come across goldeneye dossier in the past so I'll review my knowledge of it later and will definitely give that interview a read. As someone who has read "Some kind of hero" several times I guess I find the production aspect fascinating. Thanks for pointing me in its direction :)
Want to thank @ColonelSun, @peter, @RC7, and others for their analysis and contributions.
My theory on why we have not heard anything official is that this month is huge for movies/TV already.
Star Wars Episode 9 is scheduled to be officially announced next Friday with a trailer release, Game of Thrones is premiering next weekend also, and then the final Avengers movie is releasing in 3 weeks.
Not sure how much the audiences overlap between Bond and those other franchises (though I am a fan of all of them), but perhaps Eon is timing their big announcement so that it doesn't get drowned out by those other franchises, which are surely to capture massive amounts of the public's attention in the next month.
Just my two cents. Thanks for this awesome community everybody, I read this website every day.
Bit wanky. In the same way things are ‘dropped’ rather than ‘released’ these days. Babs not a fan.
