But, and I'm purely speculating here, there seems to be a lack of committed leadership at the top.
More speculation - there seems to be an over-reliance on the creative partners of the day, in this case the double act of Craig and Mendes.
To the point where those guys have too much input into franchise decisions. To the point where Craig decides when he's ready to come back.
He can tell the media how arduous it all is but you can't tell me an actor starring in an iconic blockbuster franchise should need to be convinced to return.
To round off my post of pure speculation, I agree with others that the whole boat seems listless. Spectre demonstrated to me that a reboot is needed, but who is prepared to make the hard decisions now that Cubby is gone?
Wilson even said back in 2012 the series always comes before the actor playing 007.
I have noticed there is so much Mendes hate after SP. Everyone was all for him coming back after SF.
The problem is Babs miscast Mendes for director on SP. About half of the film was not suited for Mendes. SP would have been a better film in the hands of a more action oriented director such as Campbell & I would even go as far as saying Nolan.
Praying you're right!
Just hope it's sooner than 2052 for the 90th anniversary Bond film.
And for the better, I think it would be better if the series is rebooted, but not with a rookie Bond, but a veteran 00-agent that is James Bond. Someone who knows his way around a lot of things, and brings some fun and escapism with him while at it. Dr. No started out that way, and this one should employ the same tricks.
That would catapault Campbell from series hero to true legend if he introduced three Bonds in three bonafide classics.
=))
I agree that if they want Campbell, now is the time. His age has been brought up previously; at this point he is fit, vital and more than up for the job.
But if he does come back then so be it,but bring back Campbell as well,im up for that..but it has to be soon,otherwise im not sure people would flock in droves as they did for CR,QOS and SF.
“By the time they make a decision [on Bond] I’ll be dead. So no one need worry any more.”
The actor is reported to have gone on to say that he believes Craig will step into the Bond shoes one more time.

This. He'll be pushing 50 by the time 'Bond 25' starts.
