As @jake24 points out, 2019 could be the earliest B25 comes out, meaning filming would start in December '18/January '19. Craig signed for Purity in summer 2016. Which doesn't explain why in the last 13 months since Craig joined Purity absolutely no development happened on that project.
Paul Greengrass would never agree to directing a Bond film. Have you heard his Bourne audio commentaries?
No can't say that I have. Enlighten me?
Infact I just read an article there “Speaking personally as a filmmaker I think encoded in Bond are a series of values about Britain, about the world, about masculinity, about power, about the empire that I don't share,”
Well clear paul Greengrass is a Corbyn voting, socialist left nut.
Because the era is still commercially viable. No, this would not kiss Bond goodbye at all.
Man from UNCLE and Bridge of Spies both showed how fascinating that time period is/was. Movie audiences would embrace a reboot with Bond in his old haunts...and as a result he comes more timeless. It won't happen. But it should.
You just beat me to it,thats what I was about to say about that film.
Unfortunately though you know as much as the rest of us.
Those are incredible numbers, though, if they're aiming for a $5 budget!
The most recent mention of 'Purity' was from a Variety article from May 2017:
"Curiously enough, Lazenby isn’t the first James Bond actor that Greenbaum has directed. That honor belongs to the series’ current star Daniel Craig.
“I’ve been very fortunate to work with Daniel Craig twice,” says Greenbaum. “He was in my first commercial about a year or two ago. And then this year I directed with him in a charity commercial sponsored by Omaze and Aston Martin.”
While shooting the most recent commercial, Greenbaum couldn’t resist mentioning “Becoming Bond” to Daniel Craig. “Between takes I saddled up to him and said, ‘By the way, I’m working on this other film about George Lazenby.’ And to my shock, he already knew about the film!”
It seems that a gaffer on Craig’s new Showtime series “Purity” had also worked on “Becoming Bond” and shared some info about the documentary with him.
“When I got over my surprise, I asked Daniel if he’d ever met George before. And he said, ‘I’ve never met him, but I like him.’ And that didn’t surprise me at all, having been around Daniel.”
The only other mention I've seen was on a resume that passed through our office from a writer's room PA on the show. They listed their start date as June 2016 - Present.
Do you mean 2017? If not - *checks calendar* - those boys are wayyy behind schedule.
Thank God for that.
No, June 2016.
The Variety article indicates filming is/has taken place. I can't think of any other reason why an actor and gaffer would be around each other, unless they are personal friends.
They all seem to be concerning and revolving around him.
It is impossible that a single day of filming on Purity has been made since they don't have any actors to film. Isn't it odd that we have zero confirmation of any one apart from Craig appearing in Purity? There aren't even any articles anywhere on the internet about rumoured actors for Purity. I can understand false information about certain actors being attached, but how can you explain the absolute lack of any news/evidence/proof/rumours?
Which in itself would be an embarrassing state of affairs for EON, but as I already said, I don't think he has even been asked.
"I can't be reactin' to no trailers, I got screenin's today! just saw Logan Lucky , embargo drops Mon.
When will that start? Having said that? Unless their is something official announced before then? It's highly unlikely DC is going to say anything?
Even if he's technically got nothing to add, people will ask regardless and he'll have to come up with some response that could be rather telling in the scheme of things.
Agreed. If a Bond film is tiring him out that much, then there's no way he's doing another one (especially since he's a few years older now) AND a television show at the same time.
