    The thing is, as soon as there is some delay, or upset in development, the whole thing can go stagnant. I think with Dalton 3 and Brosnan 5 they started development before things got thrown out the window. Hell, even Brosnan had a stunt double ready in 1986, and we all know how that turned out. I welcome any and all enthusiasm and positivity regarding Bond 25, but I'm still not convinced that the film will arrive sooner rather than later.

    Naomie Harris was on 'Good Morning America' promoting 'Collateral Beauty', and naturally Bond came up, this is what she had to say:

    GMA: More James bond for you?
    NH: I hope so. I really hope so. James bond fans, I really hope so. There's no news so far. No news if Daniel is coming back or what's happening."

    At least we are starting to get mentions of Bond 25.

    And yes that shows there is still interest. I see Bond stuff all the time on Yahoo. So general public still hungry ...that's good news.

    Bond 25 definitely has a nice ring to it. Should be a good one.

    We said the same about Bond 24, back then, didn't we? My point is, we wouldn't know until we see the crew on board, first. And then, long after that, the final outcome.

    Apparently James Norton has replaced Tom Hardy as 2nd favourite to play Bond next. Turner still in front.

    Good thing the public doesn't get to decide who's the next Bond. I hope Eon makes a wise choice.

    The next Bond will be whomever BB has the hots for when decision time comes.
    Sadly that rather points in direction of Jamie Bell or Jack O'Connell types than real Bond material like Aidan Turner.

    That's one thing I have complete and utter faith in.

    That's also what I'm afraid of, to tell you the truth.

    Naomie is a complete doll, having to put up with reporters who mistake Moneypenny for "Moneyball."

    Anyways, news round-up for November, 2016:

    November 2016
    -AT&T acquires Time Warner for $85 billion and is likely to put a freeze on future deals, including a possible distribution deal between Warner Bros and MGM, who they have been eyeing to take over from Sony for quite some time
    -Naomie Harris says she thinks the current MI6 cast will continue beyond Craig's possible departure
    -An MGM conference call reveals that B25 is in development and will be released, along with other franchise films, 'in the next few years' according to CEO Gary Barber. It is also reported that the film studio suffered a write-down of $48 million after Ben Hur's massive underperformance at the box office

    Well, until they figure out where the series will go or head to next...

    Clearly there are troubles behind the scenes. Maybe they are burnt out, maybe MGM are dragging their feet, maybe both. Bottom line, if they're taking a breather, use the time to do some soul searching and come up with a clear path on where to take the franchise next. Read a newspaper. Get a feel for how the world is changing since 2006, and build an action plan to be prepared to deliver on.

    Oh, and give Martin Campbell a call...

    I sure hope not. Aidan Turner? :'( Of the three people from The Hobbit having been in the running for next Bond, I think he's the worst.

It is also reported that the film studio suffered a loss of $48 million after Ben Hur's massive underperformance at the box office

    Just to be clear, Ben-Hur caused a $48 million "impairment charge" for the third quarter. Essentially, these are costs related to Ben-Hur's awful box office performance.

    The company still had a profit of the quarter of $12 million. That was way down from the $124 million profit for 2015's third quarter. This is spelled out in the linked Variety story.

    None of this changes the basic situation, just mentioning it for the record.

    I can't believe George Steponopolis called her moneyball instead of moneypenny another example of why America isn't as knowledgeable about or familiar with bond as Britain I mean come on she's a great moneypenny get it right. :-?? :-? (:| [-( its disgraceful and I'm American give me a break. :|

    This is why SP underperformed in NA. They have lost interest in Bond. Skyfall was a fluke.

    I do feel bond 25 will have something to do with blofeld and more to do then in spectre glad they decided to not kill him off that would have been dumb if after 40 plus years him finally being back and getting the rights and very first film he is in he gets killed off glad that they didn't do that but now they have some serious development and restructuring to do with his character because the background and everything with blofeld was very poorly handled

    SPECTRE performed just fine at the box office in NA, but calling your films things like "Quantum of Solace" and "SPECTRE" isn't exactly begging for Americans to have any clue what you're talking about. Casino Royale at least sounded fancy.

    Not suggesting you have to dumb it down, but imo, SPECTRE is a lazy title for a rather lazy film.

    I don't understand why we haven't moved on to a younger generation of producers yet. I'm curious just how interested Gregg is in taking over for his dad and what ideas he may bring to the table.

    I think the most important thing for the franchise to do going forward is abandon any strong sense of continuity. Return to single episodes and fun adventures.

    Marvel gets away with linking every film closely to a bigger story because a. they plan accordingly unlike Craig's era, and b. they release multiple films every year and are not expecting the audience to remember stuff from a movie 2-3 years ago.

    I agree though back in the 60's there was a lot of continuity and I think that's what she wants to do is do things they were in the 60's except instead of every year a new one is out she wants to take more time on each one but I think we need something new and not re-tread as long as Mendes doesn't come back and they get new writers I think we will get something new but with the new characters already established in the Craig era.

    //Marvel gets away with linking every film closely to a bigger story because a. they plan accordingly unlike Craig's era,//

    Yes.

    //and b. they release multiple films every year //

    Yes, was two a year, now ramping up to three.

    //and are not expecting the audience to remember stuff from a movie 2-3 years ago.//

    Except in a general sense. In Captain America: Civil War, there was a reference (by the Vision) to "Mr. Stark revealing himself as Iron Man eight years ago."

    Next year's Thor: Ragnarok movie will be challenged along those lines since the last Thor solo movie was in 2013. Odin is missing, so the 2013 movie will have to be referenced somehow.

    Also, all these "infinity stones" will have to be referenced somehow in the 2018 Avengers movie. We'll see.

    The argument could be made that Iron Man was major enough as the first MCU film, and it spawned two sequels in later years as general reminders. Not too challenging to remember Iron Man when he's in almost every movie.

    Thor will be a struggle getting people to remember. I never even saw the second film. But there was an end-credit reminding you with this year's Dr. Strange, so people still have time to catch up or are reminded.

    As with the Infinity Stones and the Thanos story in general, it's common opinion that's the one thing the MCU has handled horribly.

    SF was a global success for a reason. SP performed less well in NA because we can tell a piece of sh%t when we see it.

    Don't start the NA hating. There's no dumbing down.
