    Great, then the director plus Daniel Craig can handle script-writing duties.

    No problem here.

    Time for Marc Forster to return!

    A man can dream. Get the same crew back for 'Bond 25,' I already know I'll be a fan of the finished film.

    And the team behind The Bourne Ultimatum. Woohoo!

    If Craig walks it will be due to too much time passing, all depends on how quick things move. I still feel their going for a character piece finale in 2019.

    My thoughts exactly! Forster + Strike = Win

    A strike at the moment would be a disaster.

    Good thing they waited more than a year to get momentum going on B25! Just in time for a strike delay!

    Some of the off topic stuff has been removed to thin the content out a little (maybe not enough, but there you go).

    Just in case you are wondering where your comments about pornography and the like has gone to ;)

    The way the Craig era has been plagued with extenuating circumstances is a colossal shame.

    Should hire a 3th writer who don't strike. Steven Knight is stil avaible and old enough for not being childish for a writers strike with Eon.

    Well that's just about typical now isn't it! I really do hope they resolve this ASAP! Else we will be saying bye bye to a 2018 release! As Craig wants a script to read as I understand it? He certainly will not be writing this time around!

    My thoughts exactly.

    Your last two films have done $2 billion, Bond is as hot as he's been in years, and you decide . . . to chill out for a year and a half.

    Get on it!

    Richard Maibaum was unable to finish writing Licence To Kill due to the 1988 writers strike. MG Wilson took over as main screenwriter.

    There's still no word when Purity starts filming? - and we're now in Spring. It had better be soon otherwise its five months or so filming schedule would make Craig very unlikely to return for Bond 25 filming in Dec or early 2018 - writers strike or no writers strike!

    I think a 2019 Bond 25 release looks more and more likely. Complete guess, of course.

    I have heard two different filming dates from various sources, April or July/August. Filming is expected to largley be completed this year though.

    And have we confirmed that craig won't necessarily need to be on-set for that whole shoot? I'd understood that he was to be a protagonist but not necessarily have a lot of screen time. . .

    Andreas Wolf is one of six main characters, and the one that ties them altogether, so he's quite important to the plot. But having said that, Wolf wasn't in the book that much, and when he was, at least 40% of the time it was in flashbacks to his youth. I assume they will include his youth in the tv series, it is important to his character. The question really is, at what age will Craig start playing the character. Can he pass for a university student?

    And we also don't know how involved he will be as an executive producer.

    Who has confirmed this? Remember in addition to acting in Purity, he's also an executive producer. IF he has actual production responsibilities (which has neither been confirmed or not), he will be busy during Purity's production.

    Yes, absolutely. That's why they've taken time to do others projects. Between Bond eras is really the only opportunity they get. MGW is probably ready to retire anyway. This is actually pretty exciting - the first big shake up in over a decade!

    I also feel like the longer break will force EON to focus on returning to the basics of Bond, and delivering more of a staple Bond adventure next time. More Brazen.

    We will see about all that anything could happen at this point same thing of when it's coming out 2018 was off the table a while ago

    Might be cutting it close, but I wonder if Purvis and Wade can have a draft ready by May 1st?. I bet Richard Maibaum could have.

    Hopefully we aren't looking at a 1989-1995 gap between spectre and bond 25 good lord

    It's a possibility.

    No chance of it. But by all means, be dramatic.

    Not being dramatic. Just taking into account of what could happen. A distribution deal was supposed to be settled 13 months ago. So far, no word.

    As I said, I won't go around and knock my head to the ground shouting for the nonexistence of a new Bond film. It will come, like all the ones before. When it comes, it comes. I can wait.
