I don't mean that this isn't EON's stated intention but that there still seem to be plenty of hurdles before this really becomes locked down. Just thinking back to the B17 announcement that never happened.
Does the release date normally come before the announcement of everything else?
Yes it does normally,its basically a sign of intent against other films being released around that time.
There is a live action Disney movie coming out on the same release date as Bond 25.
As I say in an earlier post, for Eon to make this statement it is very likely (more than very likely) the distribution deal is locked - you can't go announcing a firm release date before you know who will be distributing. And in most cases, the distribution company will want to know who the lead star is (Craig) and, to a slightly lesser degree, who will be directing. That's standard re: Sales and Distribution agreements/contracts.
BMD threw a tidbit in about them potentially thinking about doing so after B25, and MI6-HQ admins on Twitter also corroborated.

Who said anything about a huge corporation?
;)
Not the man we deserve, but the one we need right now.
Just like they were a year behind last time out because of the wait for Mendes.
I won't give credit where credit isn't due, so I do believe another producer could easily be stupid enough to subscribe to the code name theory, female Bond concept, etc etc.
More than likely we might get a trendy current American actor as Bond under different owners. Chris Pratt, Chris Evans etc
if so and if the pattern of titles rings true (Location of the finale for the odd titles and bond emotional struggle/organization for the even titles
my guess is Daniel Craig returns as James Bond 007 in
The Garden of Death
(with Bond 26 my guess being titled either Blofeld or Smersh)
Maybe in your part of the world. In mine the younger the women get, the less they are fond of his looks. Yet they are very much into Matt Damon,who is only a couple of years younger. The boys by the way seem to have a strong preference for the Mission impossible movies however. And they are all awed by the fact that cruise is doing his daredevil stunts himself.
Mind you, I don't say they hate Craig, but they never mention him. Neither do they ever talk about SF and Sp.
Well eventually the copyright to the novels/character will run out and anyone will be able to make a Bond film.
No, that will never be the case with Bond which is protected by both the Ian Fleming Estate and Eon's exclusive film and tv rights.
I find it a little perplexing.
When you say 'your part of the world', you of course mean 'your own mind'. We get it. You've established your forum 'identity', don't over egg it.
Yes, I'm not sure exactly what's what with that, but I'm very sure any attempt to financially exploit Bond without Eon or Ian Fleming Estate will end up in court.

No news since then.
Presumably EON lawyers were straight into it
Sorry, not your comment. The announcement at this point in time. For some reason the rest of my comment was deleted. My guess is that the distribution negotiations have concluded just beyond the window of opportunity (which has been up in the air for some time) for an Autumn 18 release, but they're keen to give 'us' something to keep interest bubbling under. They'll have to go some to stop that fizzling out across the next 12 months unless they either a) have something up their sleeves or b) are happy to return to radio silence beyond their further announcements.
Perhaps they owe Craig though, because he's going to be out there flapping in the wind for the next couple of weeks.
Agreed. SP's most obvious weakness was its derivativeness and lack of ingenuity. That being the case, you really want to bring back the same screenwriters, retreads who have been penning Bond scripts since Methuselah was a pup?
At any rate, I'm grateful B25 is officially on the docket.
Life's full of small challenges. The likes of Babs and MGW should be up to the job.
The Gray Lady ain't what she used to be. And she was never all that much to begin with...
