    I can't imagine the Amazon project would rule her out. It's most likely for their next pilot season, which would be coming up relatively soon (certainly far ahead of any potential movement on B25). There's also nothing to suggest that she would be doing anything beyond the pilot, should the show be picked up by Amazon.

    Sure it doesn't completely rule her out - but I suspect it will greatly lessen her chances. Putting myself in EONs shoes, I'd want to be working alongside a director-for-hire with a free schedule to fine-tune the script and start figuring out the production logistics. Just because we haven't had any news for a while doesn't mean things haven't been happening behind the scenes. Suspect she's out...

    November 2018 seems like a safe bet at this point, if we can get Craig to sign on for it or, if not, get the next Bond signed on by the end of the year, we should be on track for Late 2018.

    Easily on track for November 2018. It would be nice, though, to get some kind of announcement this year.

    Why are we easily on track for 2018? Was something announced?

    I think just people are looking at the Craig filming schedule. He could make it for Nov 2018

    If we dont hear an official EON announcement by the end of this year the film wont be coming out in 2018.

    Things are already looking like a 19 release.

    It'll be another four year break, likely with a new actor taking over, and since each actor's first film almost always delivers, I'm fine with a wait that long. Plenty of other films to enjoy until then.

    It took over 2 years after DAD before Brosnan officially confirmed he wasn't returning. So it's possible we won't hear any confirmation before late 2017/early 2018 on Craig's involvement. So sit tight because we are going to get lots of rumours on possible replacements for quite a while.

    Lots of confirmations, you mean.

    Goodness. If that's the case, maybe EON are going to finally confirm the codename theory, using both Dan and all the bookie picks (ex James Bond 007s that got demoted or retired) to play Bond in the next film to face off with Blofeld and his SPECTRE agents.

    @0BradyM0Bondfanatic7 you mean have everyone as Bond in 'B25'? Craig, Cavill, Neeson, Turner, Hiddleston, Stevens, Fassbender, Brosnan, Dalton, Moore, Lazenby, Connery, Hardy, Lewis, Elba, Isaacs?

    @DaltonCraig007, yes. Bond will appear to be outnumbered by Blofeld and his forces, until he mentions to Mallory about the "other Jameses" that Dench's M only thinly alluded to once in a private conversation before her death. It turns out there's been endless amounts of James Bonds in MI6, and the name is passed on over and over each time an agent dies or proves ineffective for the job. When he became a rookie agent, Bond was given the name by M as his new identity and main cover, thinking nothing of it, until the truth was told to him much later and the MI6 traditional revealed.

    So yes, this Bond 25 would see Dan's Bond teaming up with all the ex Jameses to face SPECTRE head on. The agents would be made up of all past rumored castings and ones that came close but failed to get the role, including Elba, and Cavill, Issacs, Turner, Hiddleston and more, in addition to all the ex film Bonds.

    The film would pick on each actor through their agent character in a very self-referential way too, poking fun at their personas in reality. For instance, Turner's Bond was axed because we has too pretty and stuck out too much while on his missions. Hiddleston's 007 began trying to balance spy life while dating a famous American pop star, leading to him spilling the realm's secrets while they both got high one night on her tour bus surrounded by groupies following one of her concerts. Elba's character didn't last very long as Bond, because MI6 had never hired a black man to be a James Bond in the service before, and they weren't sure how the change would be received by conservatives in the government. And so on...

    And to think some find Casino Royale 67 wacky!

    Assuming the rumours of Craig' s exit are true than I feel that Eon should mothball the franchise for 5 years ie similar to the gap between Dalton and Brosnan to freshen the series up and make it easier for the next guy to take it over as it present its going to be difficult replacing the best Bond ever. Then Tom Hardy will be the right age to step in.

    A 5 year gap? WTF? Some people just want to see the world burn.

    At 44? Oh.

    Like I've said before, RE: Hardy, I think Mad Max opens up far more interesting things for him to explore performance wise going forward than Bond would. Maybe that's just me being selfish, as I want him to sign on for the next two Max films George Miller has apparently already scripted.

    I thought Hardy already did.

    EON are too slow for a franchise nowadays.

    They should get it together & get one out for fall 2018.

    Yes, indeed. After 54 years with the franchise slowing down as much as it is, it could very well end with a wimper. Eon needs , yet once again, to up it's game, and at least attempt to get the films out on something of a regular basis. I'm sure Cubby would prefer that.

    Clearly they are slowing down.

    60s: 6 films
    70s: 5 films
    80s: 5 films
    90s: 3 films
    00s: 3 films
    10s: 2 films (thus far)

    Looks like a steady trend of 3 films per decade is the best we could hope for these days. Kinda ridiculous, IMO. There's no reason they can't get it to 4.

    Agreed. That's a terrible way to manage EON and Bond rights.

    And the worst thing is that every decade only grants one good Bond movie (Goldeneye in the 90s, Casino Royale in the 00s and Skyfall in the 10s; I love QoS but unfortunately it is generally regarded as one of the worst entries in the series).

    I could live with 3-4 year gaps if that granted us great movies, but even with the longer gaps we get crappy films (both Die Another Day and SPECTRE came out after a 3 year gap).

    It's hard to imagine that From Russia With Love and Goldfinger were released within a year of each other - FRWL - Oct 1963; GF - Sep 1964
