Personally I believe now that Bond 25 WILL carry on from Spectre, and hope to round off Bond's tenure that Felix Leiter will return for another hurrah. I don't think Blofeld however should be the main villain though. He should be in the background and have a new antagonist in the limelight.
Now I know everyone see's the DC timeline as something new, However? This is how I see it? Having said that and pointing to the above? Having Blofeld back in Spectre and linking the whole DC films together.
I reckon it will play on the whole torture scene where Bond forgets who Blofeld is? So DC's tenure sits before Connery's films for me. Then whoever is announced in the future as Bond number 7? They would come after the Brosnan era.
Thanks for the announcement at last EON!!!!!! Shame it's a 4 year gap! However you waited foe Mendes! So I assume your waiting for Craig this time around!
I am not sure about you, but I can ensure you that I'm quite able to differ between the world, my mind or even my wishes. But I tell you something. Just give me one reason why young people (let's say under 30) should admire him or his take of Bond. And please don't mention his body since nowadays just about everyone on the screen is packed and ripped as hell ( almost all the young people I know are in sport clubs and certainly to them his physique is nothing to talk about.)
A very faithful adaptation. I could dig it.
Agreed. This would be akin to spitting on her family heritage. The specter of Cubby would not be pleased.
NWR will already do that with "The Avenging Silence". :(
Could well be the beginning of the end...
In the UK author copyright runs out 70 years after the death of the author. Hence anyone can make a production of a Dickens novel, Sherlock Holmes etc.
The Conan Doyle Estate Estate tried to claim that they should get some of the profits from Mr Holmes that starred Ian McKellen. They didn't get any of the profit because of the above reason.
Sometimes, but not always.
For Quantum, the first thing announced was a release date (May 2008). At that point, there was no director attached. Later, it got moved back to the fall of 2008.
At one point, Eon announced Peter Morgan and Purvis & Wade as writers of Bond 23 (later Skyfall). I forget if there was a release date or not.
For SPECTRE, there was a July 2013 announcement with release date, return of Sam Mendes as director.
I only hope he can take his ego out of the equation...
Yes, but like Batman, Superman etc. Bond's rights are very, very tightly bound up with an an estate and film company etc.; so it's not so simple. For example; only DC thru Warners can produce Superman and Batman, and those two characters were created a long time before Bond. Tarzan is also very well protected way over a hundred years since the character was created.
Well in the early 1990s Cubby almost sold up.
Woooooooooow
Maybe that's why they need Craig - handing over the reins to WB or whoever. A "one picture deal" to help with the transition. Then the handover takes place, and Nolan is primed to start out with a new actor. Then Nolan could produce the Bond films after that, if he doesn't feel like directing more than one. Just a thought.
I think it could go either way, but I've always viewed Bond as a prestige franchise. The Avengers, Fast and Furious and Transformers may make a billion with each entry, but Bond has that link span over half a century. Not to say the films aren't profitable, but that's not really the reason to acquire this franchise in particular. I think being the bearer of Bond is more to do with pride or vanity than it is to do with raw money making potential. Or maybe a bit of both.
MI6-HQ.com reported the Bond #7 rumour of last year very thoroughly, even repeating the claims of Tom Hiddleston being very close to closing negotiations for the role of Bond. We know how that turned out.
The classic @noSolaceleft - 'just one reason'. Do you mean a subjective rationale that you'll immediately counter with your own? I don't give two tosses about his body, he's a fantastic actor who has brought a unique interpretation. I couldn't care less if 'da kidz' don't like it. They can carrying on listening to Drake and making YouTube videos. I'll go for the Whisky and shagging beautiful women.
Agreed. Most ridiculous rumor of the day.
But you know... they'll print anything these days
Judi Dench ('Victoria and Abdul') and Christoph Waltz ('Downsizing') will also have films screening at the festival, as will Rachel Weisz ('Disobedience').
Assuming they are all going to be present, there's going to be a hell of a lot of Bond 25 questions, if no other news is announced between now and then.
If recent news reports of Babs are to be believed, the property IS a lady. Bond is back -- and she'll have her Bond boys with her!
I bet you would.
Remember how 2012 was going to be end of the world? Yeeeaaah.
I'm afraid I feel that way with B25 being the final "real" James Bond Eon Productions movie.
I suppose the reason I'm so dead against new owners buying the franchise is because, to me, Bond has been very dis-respected by the media the past few years.
So many articles claiming Bond needs to be reinvented is a blatant dis-respect that Batman, Spiderman, etc don't seem to get. I have never seen an article endorsing Gillian Anderson as the next Bruce Wayne, yet Bond gets this s*** all the time.
Cubby was always very protective of Bond and didn't want anyone coming in to screw it up.
Bond is a target for all of the maniacal attacks because he would be the prize trophy for the lunatics' case. Toppling Bond would be as big a cultural blow as they could possibly strike. And that is why he must be defended to the last ditch.
If Nolan got Bond 26, do you think he'd still get Hardy at 45?
You wouldn't? I mean I've never been a fan of Drake, so hard to comment.
