However, SF proved that a 4 year gap could work as a now regular interval successfully. Not much fear that a new Bond film won't be a massive hit, so apparently there's no reason to rush the films in this, the 21st century.
They could feasibly follow the patterns of, say, the Indiana Jones movies or Die Hard movies and maybe have one film per decade for the next 30 years.
I still prefer Bond to be a continuing tradition at the box office rather than an occasional event.
Anyone that thinks 6 years or anything close to that length will pass before we reach Bond 25, is being very dramatic.
You're far too sensible on the whole to be dramatic, that was just me being a tad cheeky. I was more referring to those beyond you who are seriously committed to the idea that a big "shake up" is coming, which I just don't see. I see downtime between blockbuster films, with regular industry challenges happening in the lead up to the next one. I would take this distribution issue over the financial crisis between QoS and SF or the major leaks of SP's time. This is actually one of the easier problems Bond has had recently, and boy do they crop up in the lead-in to every Craig film.
Too true. Every Craig Bond has come out later than initially planned. CR originally was to come out in 2005 (albeit with possibly Brosnan), QoS originally was going to come out in May 2008, SF originally was going to come out in 2011 and the original intention was that SP would be out in 2014.
--November 2012: John Logan's hiring to write Bond 24 and 25 is announced by Gary Barber on an investor conference call.
--mid-2013: This is based on information from the Sony hacks. Roughly around this time Logan submitted a treatment. It was in hand when in July 2013, the hiring of Mendes and a 2015 release date is announced by MGM, Sony and Eon.
-- March 2014: Logan turns in his first draft.
--Summer 2014: Purvis & Wade are summoned to rewrite Logan's work. No official announcement but Baz Bamigboye breaks the story for the Daily Mail. It's not confirmed (and even then in a backhanded way) until December 2014.
Is More Brazen the new Wave-Link?

This is good =D>
If they give us another CR, it is alright to wait 4 years though.

The DB11 is likely to be the immediate test for Aston, and it got a send-up from the most recent Bond film, SPECTRE, where a prototype, dubbed the DB10, was Agent 007's ride of choice. Aston officials hint the next spy thriller will feature even newer models, though they're not saying which ones.
They must have some sort of script in place if they are saying this
So long as they don't use the Valkyrie I'll be happy with whatever Aston brings to the table. Though, BMW is reportedly bringing back the 8 series, and I would love to see Bond driving one.
I'm a big fan of the 750 chase (I know others aren't). It's one of those vehicles that adds to the idiosyncratic nature of Bond. I absolutely see why others wouldn't, but Bond works better when it takes you by surprise. The DB5 makes me snooze these days.
I wonder if Bond 25 will now follow in SP's stead and have Bond driving another newly designed, customized for the film kind of car that nobody else has.
Don't understand Aston Martin's strategy with that. Most people would want to buy the car because it was used in the film like in CR and QOS.
