Aren't you panicking a bit prematurely? What info was there about SP at this point in 2013?
Based on the 'SPECTRE' production thread, it seems that Craig was already confirmed to be returning for B24, screenwriters were already onboard and a 'plot was being developped', all of this by late 2012.
It's nuts when you think that the halfway mark in the 53 year old franchise is TLD(ish) which is the 16th film out of 24.
Well said plot was still utter bollocks and no better than QOS's rushed script so I don't think time is the most important factor.
Better writing talent is.
During the first half of the franchise, we got twice as many films as during the second half. I wonder why.
I see you made the same point as me. LTK is actually more like it.
And 16 years for The Phantom Menace. The film that saved the franchise.
Yes but they have like a dozen of superheroes to develop and a lot of source material to use. It is more the exception that confirms the rule.
Movies back in the day were much easier and faster to make. Basil Rathbone made 14 Sherlock Holmes pictures in about 7 years from 1939-1946. 14! Sideny Toler made 22 Charlie Chan films. Twenty. Two. That simply can't happen nowadays for the most part. Robert Downey Jr. might have a chance to play Iron Man around 9 times if they keep him in there, but not all appearances will be a leading role like for Rathbone. Movies are much bigger productions, actors get busy doing other things... it's a miracle Moore did 7 Bond films. I can't fathom that record ever being broken.
Because they had all of Fleming's material to plunder so the scripts could be turned around a lot quicker.
No doubt the no 1 factor. So much for evolution and survival of the fittest.
Oooh I would love it a lot if I could enjoy it more!
Yeah I've just seen the first episode on iPlayer and I wouldn't have thought of him as Bond but after watching that I can see him as Bond. If he did I would want him to keep his posh English accent that he has in this - Craig is darker edged, emotional Fleming Bond but misses some of the class and upper class Englishman of Fleming's Bond.
It takes EON four years to turn out a critically acclaimed film it seems,
if we dont have an B25 2018 official announcement by years end it will most likely be 2019 IMO
All this time wasting is aggravating and unecessary and EoN would do well to assert some sort of authority in getting things done in a much shorter space of time.Craig's done 4 films, ask if he's serious to return or not in time for a 2018 release; if yes great, if not, step down and move aside for Bond number 7.
