Still, we shall see.
Which begs the question why EON don't just do a better job in looking for better writers from the off and digging deep into their pockets to pay for quality; instead of going back to the same, tired and rather unimpressive well of subpar creativity.
N & R coming back to write the script makes me think Craig will be back.
Whoever they get let's hope they have a complete script before the cameras roll.
Bond got over Vesper. The shadows of his past finally were resolved and disappeared. The author of his pain was arrested. He drove off into the sunset and basically quit MI6 at the end, with the Bond theme flairing in the background. I feel like Craig's Bond has been through enough, and deserves an ending like this. To continue it would be really milking his character dry emotionally.
It could just be marketing gone wrong, but there is a note of Mystery about that message "James Bond will return". Like they are stoking the rumours intentionally.
I just find it strange to come back to the same actor after a second four year gap. At least with Moore in his 50's they were churning these things out every two years. It seems like a bit of a wasted opportunity to me not to have the role recast at this point (SF was quite a break with QoS after that 4 year gap), but I'm sure they have their reasons.
Excited for the 'real announcement', whenever that comes.
I think in a roundabout way, it confirms DC's return and tells us that a director (unannounced as of yet) is on board. Also, back when the DC news broke a few weeks ago, it came with a "2019 release date" report as well. It would seem that that source was correct.
You don't go solidifying something like this without having those elements in place.
For the record, when I saw that 2019 release date, I was hoping for a summer release. We haven't had one of those since LTK.
My gut feeling is Daniel Craig won't return. Four years gap is large enough for the audience to want to see a new actor and I can't see why Craig would be keen to return given he'll be another year older. Hyping up the return of James Bond in 2019 with a new actor in the role - it's a no-brainer in terms of great publicity for the franchise. The hype will be huge.
Watching the final scene in SPECTRE - Bond driving away - it does feel like Craig saying a final goodbye to the role. It would be a fitting end to Craig's Bond.
Not happy about Purvis and Wade, but staying positive - let's hope it's another CR script from them rather than a DAD script.
But it's exciting! Let the build up commence. Come on 007 fans - this is what we live for! All the nuggets of information, shooting locations, casting announcements, director, storylines...it's all to come! It'll be great. Hoping for some good 'making of' books too!
If anyone knows Daniel, perhaps you can persuade him to make his mind up! Cheers. :)
That would be a disaster.
Ny times reporting Craig will be back
Building 'suspense' isn't craig's thing. In fact, he would loathe the concept.
If he doesn't know, the announcement could be a prod.
If he isn't coming back, they might be allowing him the chance to announce it himself, which would happen sooner rather than later.
