1. Film released summer 2019 so as not to clash with Star Wars
2. Daniel Craig as bond
3. David Arnold as composer
4. Nolan to direct
5. Madeleine dies in pre credits
6. Waltz back as blofeld
Glad someone mentioned this. Remember the Spectre trailer? Two things really came to mind: The "slight" OHMSS tweak to the theme and the end shot (and indeed the poster!) of the bullet hole through the glass - which to me always looked like the last shot of dead Tracy in OHMSS through the windowscreen. So I wonder if there was indeed a plan to do a direct sequel to Spectre but have Madeleine share the same fate as Tracy. Hmmm. Very interesting. I do hope they explore this in the next movie and we do indeed see a YOLT adaptation, maybe with a vengeful Bond going after Spectre like the way Bond behaved in LTK.
1. Film released summer 2019 so as not to clash with Star Wars - I think 2018 is a possibility.
2. Daniel Craig as bond - 100% agree
3. David Arnold as composer - Would love this but we'll see
4. Nolan to direct - Would also love this (fingers and toes crossed!)
5. Madeleine dies in pre credits - yes. Leading into a You Only Live Twice adaptation!
6. Waltz back as blofeld - yes. Most definately.
I must admit I miss the days where each Bond film was a different story and each one was an actual mission.
It doesn't seem to be the 'in thing' at the moment.
1. Released late 2018
2. Daniel Craig a Bond
3. Joe Kraemer as composer
4. Denis Villeneuve to write and direct
5. Madeleine death in PTS
6. Intelligent adaptation of YOLT which has some well thought out surprises in it.
Star Wars 8 is December 2017 not 18.
There will be a Star Wars spin off though in 18 - the Han Solo prequel?
Some of my wishes:
--> Modern adaptation of "Trigger Mortis" / "Murder On Wheels"
--> Predominantly set in the USA (Texas racing track, also Seattle)
--> Opening set in United Arab Emirates (also racing track)
--> Daniel Pemberton composes the score ("The Man From UNCLE")
--> And yeah baby, Christopher Nolan directs this as a huge send-off for Craig
--> Movie should premiere in November 2019
--> Madeleine breaks up violently with Bond at the start of the film. It hasn't been done before (read the novel "From Russia With Love")
--> Blofeld on trial in London, he wins and manages to stay out of prison at the start of the film, but gets assassinated at the start of the film (not knowing it was a set-up in which SPECTRE killed a body double. Real Blofeld hides in secrecy on the Seychelles)
1. Film released in Nov 2018
2. Daniel Craig as Bond! (No one else 'in the running' I rate!)
3. Daniel Pemberton to score
4. Alfonso Cuaron to Direct/ Paul Haggis to script
5. Madeleine dies POST credits (too obvious pre!)
6. Blofeld returns, but in a mentor role to a new villain (Like Brian Cox Dr. Lector in 'Manhunter'!)
No worries. And yes, I know what you mean. I never got what was so special about Brad Pitt, either btw, so I understand your mum. :)
That suited those 2 films but we don't want to go back there.
Vesper dies in the book; Tracy dies in the book.
Vesper dies in the film; Madeleine dies in the film.
It all depends on how they approach the revenge angle, which was subtle in QOS since 007 got wrapped up more in this new organization, than in vengeance of Vesper's death (although that was his driving force).
In Bond 25, using Fleming's YOLT as inspiration, could be a very unique way of throwing 007 into the fire of revenge. Plus, Daniel Craig.
Therefore, see my last post on top of this page ;-).
I agree. Madeleine Swann is NOT Tracy by any stretch. I felt more of an emotional connection between Bond and Kara than I did with Swann. Yet I wasn't whining when LTK made no reference to her at all. Hell, I thought Bond had a stronger connection with Holly Goodhead! If BOND 25 doesn't come out until 2018/2019, which it won't, then the general audience really won't give a crap about her enough to be that drawn into another Bond revenge flick.
You can keep Madeleine alive and still have Bond going back to the service to snuff out Blofeld one last time. Have their wedding stormed by SPECTRE (during which Bond and his 00s take up arms to defend everyone) or place her in a similar spot of trouble to motivate Bond into seeing that his dreams of domesticity were never going to happen while Blofeld was still alive. He'd make sure Madeleine was safe and secure through his connections to M, then go off and tie off all the loose ends he has in the form of Blofeld on one last mission, winner take all. Blofeld's escape from lock-up could coincide with the attempted murder of him and Madeleine at their wedding, setting up an international cat and mouse game between Bond and him as they battle each other with all they have at their disposal.
And as I've said, I'd love to see an escaped Blofeld returning to SPECTRE to face his own organization in shambles as new leadership has stepped in to fill the void he recklessly left behind. It would make Blofeld feel unimportant and worthless (harming his hair trigger ego), a speck in the cog of a machine he helped to build, but a machine that needs him no longer and actually views him as a dangerous liability. His return to SPECTRE in all reality would not be accepted or desired, as his own personal mission against Bond recklessly jeopardized the livelihoods of all his loyal, drone-like agents and let the spy communities of the world know of their existence and operations.
So much could be done in Bond 25 that is truly interesting.
The series really needs to divert away from these personal/backstory angles. It shouldn't be too much to ask to have a straight forward Bond adventure once again. I suppose this will all come down to whether or not Craig returns.
"Day 1 of 35 on LOGAN LUCKY. In theaters October 13, 2017..."
Of course not. I like her. And Bond does, too.
It's encouraging that most here aren't eating it up. It's clearly been made up by the poster. How can you tell? The sheer bloody optimism of it is risible.
Craig to return? Perhaps?
a 2018 release? Likely
A YOLT adaptation? I do hope so. But it's way to early to decide that.
NWR directing? That would be cool
Nolan to direct? Here's where you totally lost me.
I don't think Nolan would ever not do a Bond flick, but when a random poster lists all this information for a film that we know has only started pre-production and then mentions the most famous director working today is attached.....sorry, but it's bullshit.
If you're gonna post made up rumours at least make them believable.
I imagine this is some 18 year-old fanboy with too much time of his hands.
In other news: all the big Bond contenders have been out and about recently. Who do we think measures up the most?
Hiddles:
He's filled out. Get rid of the dodgy wig and I can sorta see it. Sorta.
Turner:
Needs a haircut and cleaning up, aside that he's looking good.
Huston:
Looking pretty great.
