I swear in this forum you have to scream till your blue in the face to get your point across.
Are you talking about the re-population of Earth plotline from TSWLM and MR? If so, that's not really a fair comparison - sure, there are similarities behind their goal, but their method and overall end game is radically different. I wouldn't chalk it up as the same as one actor leaving MI-6 for a completely different girl twice in one era.
DC's frequent resort to F-bombs in interviews certainly bespeaks coarseness and lack of imagination. But he looks good and remembers his lines.
Understood.
Wasn't his actions treasonous with the DB10 anyway?
I don't get it.
You are a mod now, so we don t listen to you.
That's more than apparent at times.
Thunderfinger listens to no one!
Except to good music, at least that much is certain.
Sorry was a bit of sarcasm.. :D me bad.
The same. It's not absolutely clear to me that Bond had resigned from MI6 at the end of SP, although that is certainly one valid interpretation.
I think the ending was ambiguous on purpose. It gives them an out in case he doesn't return. They can just say, well, he's gone anyway so on with the next! But then they can also say he isn't done and have him come back for another, leaving it open as they did.
I personally have a feeling he's just keeping quiet until EON has every i dotted and t crossed re: the studio negotations and new Bond signed - then he will announce he's done.
He is a consummate professional after all.
Whoa. What? You think the new Bond actor has already been chosen?! Huh?
1. Walt Disney Pictures (yet to be most common)
2. Warner Bros Pictures
3. Paramount Pictures
4. Universal Pictures
5. 20th Century Fox
If they struck the deal with The Walt Disney Studios, then Disney could distribute Bond 25 if understand by EON.
I got all the theory answer audio/video about the James Bond distribution rights here:

The only way they could continue on with Craig is to either undermine the whole of SP with some throwaway lines or to kill Madelinne off, which to me would be too much a retread of Vesper. I didn't think the writers would want to take either of these choices unless forced which is why I thought SP was at least written as Craig's last Bond.
I mean it seems like others involved in production thought that to, and Mark Strong does (who I believe has been a good mate of his ever since ofitn, didn't they go on holiday which stirred up him as Blofeld rumours last year?) which does make me think that there's truth to this.
Then there's his rumoured other projects (like that TV show), and I'm not sure the reception of SP will help either. Personally I loved it but it wasn't all that well recieved. The only way to have another Craig film is to continue that storyline and that'd be a divisive move. They might be better off cutting their losses and starting fresh but they can't do that with Craig really.
I'm sure the producers are keen to get him back and it's still early days, he might be back for one more in the end (could pull a Roger Moore) but I think all evidence is pointing more to him being done than him returning.
Reminds me of the Brosnan situation after Die Another Day. He'd made some comments which fuelled speculation that he'd be leaving. Then there were people suggesting Hugh Jackman, Clive Owen, etc (in the same way Tom Hardy and Idris Elba's names are thrown about now). Then he did Everything Or Nothing in 2004 and it was rumoured as late as 2005 that he was in fact coming back after all, that a deal had been struck. But that didn't happen (I think the issue was actually money rather than a creative decision, as I read recently that Purvis and Wade did at one point write CR with Brosnan in mind) and then Craig was cast.
Think we're getting a similar situation here, in terms of the constant rumours and speculation and not even the higher ups being sure. There are gonna be constant rumours until the next film is officially announced. I think we'll get Bond no 7 but Craig could still come back I guess. We'll have to wait and see.
She's not the one pushing for or insisting on Bond's tight suits though.
@thelivingroyale I remember you saying way back that you thought the script suggested that SP was Craig's last, and I agree with you. All indicators suggest this. I also agree he may decide to come back for one more, but as I've said elsewhere, I'd prefer if they just move on and start afresh, great though he has been. The wrist slash comments will continue to be mentioned all the way to B25 if he decides to stay.
Recent loose lips, the studio matter, and the tv show suggest to me that we are likely to get an announcement either way at some point shortly. At least I hope so anyway.
