It's better that way, doesn't set you up for disappointment, only the possibility of surprise.
If the writers strike happens, they will probably just say "Bond 25 is still in development".
I do know someone who would have the answer take it away @AlexanderWaverly =D> :-bd B-) \m/
...and that it should go into production in the next few years.
What do you offer in the form of this guarantee?
Not saying it wont happen, but to guarantee it, that's a pretty tall order.
As with anything Bond related patience is the key. Any long term fan knows that. EON will let us the fans know, when they're good and ready, and they want us to know something. Till then it's a waiting game.
2019 with a new Bond actor is possible if they are already at it. Otherwise prepare for 2020.
That's my worry. They probably wrapped on SPECTRE thinking Dan would return, not aware that the distributor business would take so long, and this possible strike. IMO, it will be like 1989-1995, 2002-2006, 2008-2012 where things are up in the air for a while.
My thoughts as well, and I believe that extends to the actor also. As time progresses, new ideas come in and are probably being thrashed out. Perhaps Craig intends to do one more now, as is being reported. Perhaps it's just a deflection until they get some clarity on distributor and approach so they can make a big announcement of a change (and he's in on it). Perhaps there's a faction that wants him back and one that doesn't. Nobody knows for sure, and we will all know in time.
But so this post feels more in tune with news..
Purvis and Wade back I like my hope is they are smart and adapt You only live Twice they are strongest when adapting a book (looking at their weakest film Die Another Day really if they went with the original plan of the film ending exactly like the book moonraker and they cut out a few of the groaning one liners the film would actually be pretty solid and dare I say it top 10 so when adapting Fleming while they aren't great writers they are far from bad)
Cyprus as a potential location: I could see it working as where they are keeping Blofeld honestly and I think that his escape off Cyprus could be a great action sequence (no idea how Bond would be involved but still)
I would be fine with Lionsgate being the Distribution partner...
Over all there isn't a bit of news (besides the lack of news) that is troubling me..
Lies! You look like Hugh Jackman in his late 30's.
Even if it was, Dan's a bloody tank.
I rather Craig quits on a high like SPECTRE than delivering something like DAF or AVTAK (from the age perspective)
His age is even more prevalent with these longer breaks between films. Was quite the jump seeing him in QoS and then SF four years after.
Early to mid-May. At the end of the last conference call, Barber said something like, "See you on our next call in May." He didn't specify a date. In 2016, the conference call concerning first-quarter results was on May 12.
The most significant news I can remember coming out on one of these calls was in November 2012 when Gary Barber announced John Logan had been hired to write Bond 24 and Bond 25. On other occasions (like the most recent call), Bond doesn't even get mentioned.
Exactly.
This happens with every Bond that sticks around a reasonable time, especially a man who is going to cross Roger's record of served time.
I think Dan has looked better film to film than Sean did in aging just two years from TB to YOLT, or four years after YOLT to DAF, where he looked a decade past his real age. The difference with Dan is, although it's clear he's aging as any man would, he still looks capable in the role. That can't be said for even Sean, and Roger got old fast, simply because he started the role near middle age. I think Dan is in a fine spot, and he's willing to put in the work to look the part, which is a lot of the battle. SF also established him as the old dog still in the game, so any wear on him gives credence to the character his Bond is as a determined but raggedy mutt.
Of course, that's not to say that Craig is looking ancient, but he does look significantly older from QoS to SF, and arguably SF to SP.
And the Craig era is supposed to be the break from tradition and repetitive formula.
It's obvious to me. After MR it was crazy how Moore was aging (not in a good way) film to film, until I thought he was my grandfather in AVTAK. I don't feel that with Dan, and as I said, he has never not looked the part, which I can't say for much of Moore's and 1/3 of Sean's.
I don't see the massive aging others do with Dan. SF he looked more weary, but that was also a purposeful choice by the production to make him worn and more jaded/edgy in appearance, including the shorter hair, to back up Bond's story of rising again in the film itself. He was supposed to look past it. I found him endlessly more youthful in SP, however, and he looked how I would expect the man of QoS to look in around seven year's time. For a man approaching 50, he's just killing it. No matter what he does, I always know I'm watching a man who could face his threats with serious tenacity and power, as Bond should look to be. Dan is the only Bond actor that I have consistently felt that for, from start to finish.
So obviously, Craig could, could look even better at the age of 51. Who knows. We will see.
