Presumably the distributor then has a say in release dates, which in turn will impact filming, given they are the ones who have to market and promote the film.
I was talking with a friend recently about the actual stage of B25 production and the uncertain future of the franchise, at least for now. And then came up with this: What if Barbara isn't needed or involved with with B25, because of her other projects, and Michael is producing the flick with Chris Nolan's Syncopy, and perhaps Craig again as a co-producer? What if...
Or even Gregg & Co taking over the reins. It's certainly possible one day, if not now.
I know, but doesn't look like that lately.
What if they've not taken over as such, but Gregg has taken on extra responsibilities to prepare him for the eventual transition. Or at least see how he copes. MGW might retire once Craig is done, and Gregg takes over the new era with Babs.
You understand that means getting less of Daniel Craig's pectorals, right? Just so long as you understand what that means.
At least, I think that's what it would mean. We might all be surprised.
"We would of course be interested to have a discussion with him. We would like to do the same type of movie. It would be a dream to be with Nolan. But we always have an open mind when it comes to directors."

That just seems so unprofessional, and reflects badly on the whole franchise.
Perhaps I am wrong, but wouldn't waiting for a distribution deal be a more professional, and truthful answer?
Not much can happen till that is in place. And DC is likely waiting on that.
Maybe they are all waiting on Daniel, but it just seems really slack to throw all of this on him, if he's not the hold up.

I did see somewhere the Greg Wilson is going to be an associate producer on bond 25
November 2018.
Michael Wilson said in the November 2015 interview it was MGM's choice but he expected that MGM would seek input. He also said Eon does the heavy lifting on marketing regardless of distributor.
When that is, and who it stars remains to be seen. Until we get an announcement from EON saying otherwise Daniel Craig IS James Bond.
Till we get further info from EON it's all section 26, paragraph 5.
Until casting begins and agents leak the news.
By this time in 2011, key casting was leaking out (casting that proved to be true). Nothing like that happening now.
Nothing can really get turning like director or casting until the distribution is handled hopefully MGM and eon decide who distribute by at least the end of the year. If it was handled by the end of the summer that would be great but I'm not getting my hopes up
Very, very, very unlikely. Barbara Broccoli is a force to be reckoned with! She'll definitely be fully involved - she vetoed everyone to cast Craig instead of Cavill. MGW often jokes about how intimidating she can be - she very much takes after her parents - she'll be fully in charge of Bond for some time. Gregg Wilson will join her though and MGW with his age and health will undoubtedly take more of a back seat.
Whatever other rubbish she may have allowed, she made the right call on Craig.
