Yes she is giving the fans 'shit'. I am not questioning what she knows, or what has been accomplished. I am not one of those doom-sayers who are acting as if nothing has happened behind closed doors since SP. I am saying it is pure crap from EON that we still do not know what YEAR Bond 25 is coming. I am not denying a whole lot of stuff has happened concerning Bond 25's production. I also do not care if Bond 25 is 2, 3, or 4 years away. I am not questioning that a 2018 release can happen. All I want is for EON to say 'Yes, we are aiming for a 2018 (or 20xx) release'. It is frankly unnaceptable that us fans have no shred of evidence on which year is Bond 25 coming. Even if they don't have an exact date, at least give us the year.
She didn't touch her ear. ;)
You do understand english? I did not ask for a specific day and month. I am asking for a potential YEAR. I am also not asking for a 100% confirmation that is coming in 2018. All I want is whether or not a 2018 release can happen. QOS was touted for 2008 by EON shortly before CR was released. SF was aimed for 2011 before the MGM trouble. I don't need to know for a fact that B25 is coming in next year. Just tell us if they are trying to aim for that year.
'Captain Marvel' will release on March 8th, 2019. No director attached.
I don't mean to cut into your debate, I just found it funny you'd question his knowledge on the film industry, while subsequently showing you know absolutely nothing about how the film industry works.
It was mere weeks after Rogue Nation was released that they announced the next MI movie. Other studios are locking in dates or are at least have an abstract year of release. The announcement of films being in development are being conveyed, irrespective of how things turn out, at least there's a dialogue going on. With Bond there's zilch being shared and tbh, I wouldn't mind any of this if there was a relatively recent track record that proved that at the end of the day whenever the film comes out, it'll be worth it but EoN don't have my trust like that these days. With 4 and 3 year gaps that delivered for me disappointing movies, it's a wonder why they'rw being so excessively secretive if there's anything to be kept secret at all.
I love Bond but I'm also a realist and dont always agree with the decisions made for the films; and quite frankly I think the property has been mismanaged for some time, too long actually and complacency settled in comfortably. Longer gaps between movies doesn't add prestige to the franchise, contrary to what some may think and EoN need to be better producers. The image they've recreated for themselves is that they've subjugated themselves to the mercy of their lead actor and recent director. That's just poor form tbh. They also need to realise and reconnect with audiences as to what made Bond special in the first place and why he's endured decades for so long. Feminist and SJWs aren't factors. Audiences will see Bond films regardless. Let's say for arguments sake Bond was R-rated, in this day and age, providing it's actually a good movie it would still do over $750 million. The Bond films started out being somewhat controversial anyway, EoN need to own their property and unashamedly make great films about James Bond, a man and his world that's all about the excitingly good, bad and ugly.
Even if the overall state of what's going on with the subsequent movie(s) is lacking precision; at the very least it's not asking much to know if Craig will return or not.

We might be in a 'A VIew To A KIll/Living Daylights' or 'Die Another Day/Casino Royale' transition period? If that turns out to be the case I think that will mean a new actor as James Bond.
The MI6 website ran the text of that press release. It came out in July 2006. URL is here for those who want to see it for themselves.:

Once they start contacting actors, agents become involved. I suspect that's at least one source of previous disclosures about casting. In the case of Ben Whishaw, his agent disclosed the actor's casting as Q. Eon denied that for months afterward.
I think this is right. Craig will--maybe--do one more, and Babs wants him. Rather than throw out a date that Craig can't fit into his schedule, she's waiting to see if she can entice him back.
Who the hell cares about Craig and his schedule? If Bond 25 is coming in 2018, that means filming starts in less than a year. At this point I don't care if it's going to be 2019 or later, but I refuse to hype myself for the next 11 months that a new outing is coming next year only for EON to say 'no, it will be 2019' at the last moment. Just friggin tell us if a 2018 release is possible, so we can get an idea if we can start hoping for a Bond film next year, or that it's 2019 at the earliest.
Haha, so Trump has destroyed the Bond franchise? On orders from Putin, no doubt.
Indeed. They coined the term, "The personal is political." and they meant it. There is to be no refuge from their destructive views and policies. Not even in a Bond film.
However, I'd prefer if they stay apolitical, in the sense that they don't point fingers at particular nations as being good or bad. Actors within those particular nations could be bad (like Orlov in OP for instance), but painting a whole nation & its leaders with a broad brush is a bad idea imho.
For all its faults, DAD did a reasonable job of it with North Korea.
