“There’s no point in making excuses,” Craig said. “Instead of saying something with style and grace, I gave a stupid answer.”

Indeed. It's clear that actor stuff is easier to write endless nonsense about and it works as click-bait. Most people have no clue about movie distribution is general, nor when it comes to Bond, and wouldn't bother reading speculation about that. Still, it's weird there hasn't been more about that. Soon, surely...
Me too. Part of me had hoped for a new Bond, but seeing Craig in that interview, he seems so excited and determined to make his last film special. It gives me high hopes for B25.
We kind of knew this back then, though.
When we know who the director is then I may leap for joy...or not but again so far this is business as usual and for the most part of this era it's been disappointing for me. I hope Bond 25 can at the very least recapture the glory of CR and with P+W returning and with Craig back, my last hope to get hyped is if thry announce a worthy, capable and exciting director to deliver the goods.
Indeed, it was.
Dan has explained himself endlessly, @TripAces, you're right. Which is why those of our camp were sick of the whining from long ago. The man made the context of the comment clear and apologized for not being as astute as he could've many times now, but people still want to harp on about it.
Or AVTAK.
Only time will tell.
I must say though, you really have fooled many (spoiled) Bond fans for almost 24 hours. Well done. That's how you do it ;-)!
ME retweets everything tbh, doesn't necessarily mean Annapurna have the rights (I doubt it, if anything being involved in the bid raised her profile but they're too small and disparate distribution wise to do Bond. EON will want a big major studio.)

Tonight he seemed especially happy, at ease, and thrilled to be doing the show. Its likely because Logan Lucky (and he) have received great reviews; Othello was a smash; and now he's primed for Bond again. Life's good.
It has been my understanding for some time (as far back as I heard about Craig) that Waltz is also back.
No, she doesn't re-tweet everything, but of-course that re-tweet doesn't "necessarily mean" Annapurna's involvement, either. I don't know if being involved in the bid would have raised her profile, it's very high already.
It's best to watch it yourself. (p.943)
yeah what I meant by 'everything' was stuff she's interested in - not just stuff she's involved in herself. It def raised Annapurna's profile as a fledging studio/distributor as opposed to just a production company and that's probably what this was all about. ME never expected to actually win the rights.
I hope/expect director and studio confirmations to follow suit...and then hopefully the cast. Awesome to hear re: Waltz, as controversial as it is also hope Seydoux is back. and what I really hope is that they really hype this one as Craig's final one - the end of an era.
Very pleased Craig is officially back. Won't surprise me at all if Waltz is back as well. Makes sense. Good news.
As has been pointed out, we know this'll be Craig's last.
The search begins in earnest now. Treatments will already be in the pipeline.
If EON retains the rights and the current distributor is happy with B25 BO, there's no reason why we can't roll out the new guy in 2022.
The basic Bond related nuggets:
1.) Daniel is officially back and can speak out on it after a couple of months talking it over and sorting it out with EON. He couldn't be happier and is excited about it.
A direct quote on the development of Dan's involvement: "It's been a couple of months. We've been discussing it and we've just been trying to sorta figure things out. But I always wanted to, I needed a break."
2.) Dan confirms that he'd been lying to the press lately about his indecisiveness to join the project to save the truth for Colbert's show, calling his behavior "cagey." He then went on to apologize for his infamous comment, and again explained himself (direct quote in another post above).
3.) Dan thinks that Bond 25 will be his last go as the character. In his own words, "I think this is it...I just want to go out on a high note. I can't wait."
4.) Stephen Colbert confirmed as James Bond #7??
Sorry to piss on everyone's cornflakes but nothing's really changed. Craig coming back was always more likely than not and my faith in EON has only ever been lower after DAD and still is.
The proof will be in the pudding and nothing less than a pudding with strawberries and salted caramel chunks on top and dripping in an indulgent chocolate sauce will do this time round.
If they deliver a CR rivalling film DC stands a very good chance of going down as the best Bond of all or at least with a tenure on a par with Sean's - but that's a monumentally big if.
It's a bit like Liverpool's result last night. It's all there if they keep their heads but history tells us not to underestimate their capacity to royally fuck it up.
