    It would be ironic if Martin Campbell were to return to the franchise, 25 years after he first joined it to direct the 25th adventure.

    That's a funny way to spell Michael Fassbender.

    I couldn't find a gif of Craig pointing to the guy in the komodo dragon pit, saying, "Good luck with that." Feel free to use your imagination!

    I would say if Craig is coming back which he has indicated or hinted that he is I would say no later then 2019 if they are going to recast then 2020 but with there being development they must be hiding something like they must have a distributor at least maybe a writer but maybe not but at least a distributor to say its in development right guys? :-? :-\" :)

    Craig is the best Bond, I say we need another with him.

    Agree. He's a superb Bond. I just can't get my head around why some hate him so much, although it's plainly evident (box office, critics etc.) the wider audience really like him. But I guess, each to their own.
    No hate, I believe he is easily the best Bond since Connery. I just happen to think that it's time to go back to basics and you can't really do that with Craig after Spectre.

    The fact that they are committing to the "next few years" says that they probably have some kind of unofficial assurance from Craig on whether he is staying or going. He must have made up his mind one way or another by now, or they couldn't know for sure that a new Bond film is on the horizon. It's possible that Craig has decided months ago to leave, and everyone involved have spent the last 6 months or so trying to get him back. That's just one scenario. Like some other members, I don't buy the "we're all tired" excuse. That worked in the early part of the year, when they were still coming down of the global publicity blitz and a grueling shoot before that. Now though, it doesn't hold water, especially when Barbara and Craig are working together on other projects. Craig's "I need 6 months" line sounded a little indulgent to some, but 12 months plus isn't down to tiredness. Malaise, perhaps. Of course, it could be that Craig is still very much on board, and the only thing holding up production is the continued quest for a distributor (which may have finally been put to bed). If that is the case, then the only question remains why weren't they more forthright about it from the start? Barbara could have released a statement back in January saying "nothing can be done until we find a distributor" and everyone would live with that. Instead they have left themselves open to intense media speculation and done nothing to stem the rumours. I'm not really sure what is going on, but one thing is for certain - EON have a track record of behaving in such a sneaky manner as this.

    EON does things very sneaky now of days maybe this the case maybe they have a distributor and a writer and a draft of a script and we don't know about it?

    Unfortunately I kind of agree with that. I was/am a big Craig fan, but after SP I think audiences at least in NA are going to want to see a new face. I really don't think Craig is going to have the same degree of support before SP.

    Well I'm a fan too. I don't know quite what I want right now.

    Whether with Craig or not, I don't care. I just want a normal, traditional and straightforward James Bond thriller that deals even with less drama and emotional dilemmas. I could do without them.

    Of course you can. EON did by going fromYOLT followed by OHMSS and again with MR and FYEO.

    Going back to basics after a more flamboyant entry is standard operating procedure.

    OHMSS doesn't have the same Bond actor in it than YOLT, look closer.

    Also, with Moore it is a different story than Craig. Moore started by making traditional Bond films, whereas Craig never has.

    The only way we'll get that is if Craig leaves.

    I'm indifferent with him, to tell you the truth. If he leaves, he leaves.

    How would you define a 'traditional' Bond film, what does that even mean?

    Straightforward Bond film.
    Pretitles: Defining the problem or standalone prologue.
    Main event: Something happens, villain is introduced, Bond is called for briefing, stops for a flirt with Moneypenny then goes straight into M's door, receives the mission, travels overseas, makes acquaintance with the villain and a couple of Bond girls somewhere between, is discovered as a spy, exposes the villain's operation to HQ, final battle, hand to hand combat with the villain, kills the villain, accomplishes the mission, gets it on with a Bond girl, end credits.

    Most of that happens in CR and QoS

    Well, most of that happens in almost every Bond film. Not all of it.

    Exactly, the Bond franchise is probably the most formulaic one going.

    In some cases, Bond history has taught us that after every disappointing film the actor changes. (DAF, AVTAK, DAD). Maybe it's time to move on with another actor, as much as I like Craig. And find a way to eliminate the theory of foster brothers, which is difficult I guess...
