If the Craig articles from last week are true I'll especially lean towards your prediction. Then the film would be aimed for a November 2018 release. No point in him agreeing to return for B25 now if filming isn't expected to start, say, January of 2019. That's another year and 9 months away.
Ah, OK. Clears that up.
In that case, I'm beginning to question these articles saying Craig is close to returning.
It's always a good idea to approach everything posted on here with a grain of salt.
You do have a great point there it is kind of weird for them to pivot on what they were using for from bond 25 to nothing bond related and they have been sneaky since spectre
"Blue Harvest" ! ;)
doesn't surprise me, from them.
If it is P+W again, then be it.
If Bond 25 happens in 2019 (or 2020) then be it.
If Craig does not return, then be it.
I'm more worried about the Scooby-Gang and the composer.
I desperately want the Scooby-Gang back, including Tanner even.
But hell no to another non-Bond score from ignorant Newman.
And I also rather the entire MI-6 recurring characters are recast with as much as unknown (but talented) actors and actresses as they get, so they'll only be minor characters as always intended. M, Q, Moneypenny, Tanner. And since Goodnight has already been elevated to major Bond Girl previously, and as the film series likes to not bring one-off characters back from the old films, I'd like an on-screen introduction for Loelia Ponsonby. It's time she appeared in the film series.
I think the fans care a lot more about Q than they do about either M or Moneypenny. I would recast both M and Moneypenny, and keep Ben Whishaw as the connecting link, like they did with the old films.
If they work with workmanlike directors again, hire someone lower profile to play Bond, and hire talented, unknown actors to fill out the cast, and focus mainly on one central location, they could virtually cut the budgets in half.
P&W did try to bring Loelia on...I forget for which film. They do go back to Fleming often; they're the best hope we have for a true YOLT adaptation with Craig.
Q and Moneypenny, I'd be perfectly fine with a recast.
They'll continue using the name Blofeld by introducing a character that is Bloferhauser's son. He becomes enraged as a teen when he discovers that James Bond was the man responsible for his father's death and sets out to create a huge criminal organization, just like his father, spending many years setting it up, recruiting operatives and conducting global operations, a process that lasts into his 40s, all with the end goal of killing James Bond, a man who miraculously does not age a day during this entire process.
Don't worry, EON and P&W have this covered. :lol: :tongue:
That's actually something I hope they do. Part of the reason I loved the original Blofeld was because he was in the shadows. He was almost a sort of God like figure in a room, that's also part of the reason the actual reveal was somewhat a let down. I hope that if everything does go into reboot again after Craig (which I personally feel it should), then establish an unknown Blofed for 3-4 films before using him, and I hope that payoff to his reveal would be worth it.
