    Well, chaps, now we've drifted in March, I think it's inevitable in two weeks time we'll get a definite answer. I just hope it won't be another bore of a word it would be when Barber or any of the responsible people behind the production drop an excuse and delay the film further.

    There is still no distributor for Bond 25

    And?

    So don't expect much in the way of news in March - you're not going to get any.
    We'll see.

    It's strange that Daniel Craig and Aidan Turner are the only ones still dodging questions regarding Bond. The others all appear to have given up the ghost months ago...

    One says "I can't talk about it", the other avoids questions entirely. Strange.

    Believe me there won't be much news on Bond 25 in the third month of 2017.

    I wouldn't read much into that.

    Here is your news round-up for February 2017:

    February 2017
    ->EON are set to executive produce yet another non-Bond project, as the psychological drama, Nancy, starring Andrea Riseborough is expected to be released in the bottom half of this year
    ->Two additional films listed on IMDB Pro are on EON's slate, and are listed as "in development." They are No Place to Hide (2017) and Remote Control. It is brought into question if these have been put on ice or if Wilson and Broccoli are moving ahead with the projects
    ->Filming on Daniel Craig's Kings concludes and begins post-production, leaving only Purity as the sole project on Craig's slate (page 592)
    ->Eon Productions acquire a Bell UHD-1D vintage helicopter from the Saxony-Anhalt aviation museum in Germany, to be flown to Heathrow on Feb. 9. The helicopter is to be used 'specifically for the next Bond film.'
    ->Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye tweets to user @Pierce2Daniel; says B25 is 'a long, long way off,' when asked where the franchise currently stood
    ->Omega chief executive Raynald Aeschlimann hints at a potential return for Craig, as the two are expected to meet in 'two or three weeks' to discuss future watch placements
    ->Further signs point to Craig's return when Othello co-star David Oyelowo responds to Stephen Colbert's claim that he has indeed gone. "We don't know that (...) I've been in a dressing room with him for three months, so I don't know about that."
    ->Both Ben Whishaw and Ralph Fiennes have signed on to projects throughout late 2017 to early 2018 (theatre work and direction respectively), which may conflict with their schedules for an Oct/Nov. 2018 release date
    ->The mayor of Dubrovnik, Croatia confirms that EON is in "advanced talks" with officials about featuring the city in B25
    ->It is revealed that an unnamed China organization was previously in advanced talks to purchase MGM, only for the deal to be broken down in late 2016

    As much as I'd like to see Craig return, seeing Tom Hiddleston promoting Kong Skull Island you see very much THE perfect Bond in waiting. He is sooo right for the role, so I would actually prefer to see Hiddleston take over the role now. Also, he's so good at the promotional side of the job, whereas Craig always looks glum and bored in interviews he gives. If Craig is announced is back as Bond I'll be happy, mainly because we'll be getting another Bond movie (hurrah!) but if Hiddleston is announced as his replacement...I'll be ecstatic.

    I have the opposite reaction. The more I see of Mr Hiddleston the less I see any Bond. I find him wimpy looking. I can't see Bond, sorry. Looks like a mature school prefect. I'm sure Hiddleston's casting - if it were to happen - would split the core fanbase (as was the case with Craig's casting - hence the DanielCraigisnotBond websites!). But I'm sure the average film goer wouldn't mind Hiddles.

    re: MGM....The company is scheduled to report its fourth-quarter and full-year financial results this month. Gary Barber usually conducts a conference call. It will probably be more like the third week of the month but I don't have the exact date.

    It was during the conference call almost a year ago (fourth-quarter and full-year 2015 results) that Barber said Bond movies would come out on a 3- to 4-year cycle and that he was in "no hurry" to negotiate a Bond 25 distribution deal.

    Maybe he will tell us what year it will come out

    At the very least, this would be helpful.

    Just realized it's already March. Tomorrow is Craig's 49th birthday!

    Age is irrelevant when we have people making action flicks much older than Craig.

    I just realized by the time B25 is well into production (providing Craig stays on board), he'll be the only actor alongside Sean who would have played Bond in his '30's, '40's and '50's.

    Craig is no Cruise, but I definitely think he has another Bond in him.

    Yes, but they aren't playing James Bond, so...

    Which is Craig's favourite position in the bedroom?

    SMH Craig is still young enough to play Bond 1 or 2 more times.
