Ooowh, and on top of that, "Elle" won TWO Golden Globes yesterday ;-). Finally Dutch director Paul Verhoeven did not get snobbed. A well-deserved Globe for both Verhoeven and French actress Isabelle Huppert:
Ah, I know that, but that does not mean that she doesn't have a potential time table in mind.

GQ with a completey different take on this seemingly never ending debate.
After taking home a Golden Globe for 'The Night Manager' last night, I expect Tom Hiddlestons will get a bump in the betting odds.
I believe his odds improved after Hiddleswift concluded last summer.
More like Victoria's Secret Agent.
Oddly enough though I do like the current day Hugh Grant. Liked him a lot as Waverly in UNCLE.
Her potential time table is usually later compared with that of the studios. That was certainly the case with SPECTRE. If we knew what a studio wanted, then you can add one year for her potential time table.
MGM, while in bankruptcy, wanted Bond movies to resume an every-other-year schedule.
Sony, in 2012, wanted Bond 24 to come out in 2014.
"Sometimes there are external pressures from a studio who want you to make it in a certain time frame or for their own benefit, and sometimes we’ve given into that," Broccoli said. "But following what we hope will be a tremendous success with 'Skyfall,' we have to try to keep the deadlines ***within our own time limits and not cave in to external pressures.****" (emphasis added)

Wow, no wonder Spectre was a masterpiece!!
He's relentless :D
I think the Spectre masterpiece edition, might be getting its own special Blu-ray release.
It can help fill the pending 6 year gap between films . ;)
:)) :-j =))
The film lives!!! As a registered numbered filed entity!
If 2018 is gone, then I hope to God they recast and start with a fully realized Bond again. Waiting another 4 years (starting in 2015 of course) for a fifth Craig film would just be so depressing. I really feel like the Craig arc was complete with Skyfall, with Bond going going from a undisciplined rookie to becoming the one man the country could rely on. It was a neat little trilogy of films that diverted from the usual course and told a more personal story of Bond's development and maturation. But that was enough for me. While I enjoyed SPECTRE, and especially some of the more traditional Bond elements they added in, nothing could take away from the fact that it was another Craig Bond film, and this time there didn't seem to be anything justifying it. It existed to justify it's own existence, rather than because there was still an fundamental question left unanswered. Stringing this out for another nearly half a decade just to keep a popular face in the tux is the opposite of a brave and bold choice. We need fresh blood.
Great post, Mendes. I agree with you.
Though technically let's just say they are working on a script as we speak. Maybe they could have a final script by late spring, get started on production details, have a script-lock mid October and a November press conference. Could be possible I suppose but we will have to see.
The alternative is that it's 2017 and EON are twiddling their thumbs, while franchises all around them surge forward. It's a bit too depressing, that.
2018 is still feasible, so just because you don't know anything doesn't mean that "Babs is lazy" or whatever tripe that I have been reading on the last 10+ pages.
The film industry is bloody infuriating, yes. But they know what they are doing when they handle a massive corporation like Bond. Things are just more unclear this time around.
@RC7, it's far more fun to repeat the same goddamn conversations in this thread daily. Don't you agree? 8-X
Of course I will concede that we don't have 24 films to go back to, re-watch and re-analyze to appreciate all over again while we wait for another one. Oh, wait...
