Yeah I think that’s very possible.
If you don't imagine any script treatments have been written, then how do you imagine Amazon is holding up our Bond 26? You saying there might be creative differences but no script or treatment in the first place is a little contradictory.
May have nothing to do with a script. There are many, many levels to the contracts involved now that Amazon is involved.
Precisely.
If Bond really does come to Fortnite, maybe some overall franchise movement is on the horizon.

We can already see the wheels for Bond slowly turning… Bond will be back.
The Prisoner is more pseudo-intellectual, so it's a better fit for Nolan than Bond, which requires a believable romance every few films (and McGoohan was a pretty strict Catholic, so there was no romance angle to The Prisoner either).
I've been to Doha. Cool setting. Especially for any desert scenes. Something like we got in Ghost Protocol would be cool
And this Middle-East angle feels about 10 years too late. It would be more relevant to see Bond deployed to Asia.

You forgot to mention the Broccoli/Craig produced Othello movie project which just reinforces the idea that Barbara is still more interested in working with Daniel than investing her time with Bond. I still think that, unless Craig is a producer on the next Bond film, it is a good possibility that someone else from EON will be handed the reigns to Bond the next time around.

Yeah that part irked me when I read it. She wants to work with Daniel on any projects, fine and well. But if she is doing that in lieu of, then that half of creative control needs to go to someone else.

If the rumours are true that DV is the man they want to direct, something I stated back here in mid-Feb, and they didn't have a script yet ready for him, hence, why, six weeks after saying he wanted to take a break from "the sand", he went right back to the sand, and is prepping D3 for a June 2025 shoot, then this is a film producer doing another project before Bond 26 attaches the director they want.
God forbid a film producer should produce a variety of films. That's like saying an author should only write about one character, or a portrait painter should only compose paintings with one person as the muse.

I'm not saying that she shouldn't produce anything besides Bond. However my opinion isn't wavering. I think she's too attached to Craig Bond since it's whats defined her Bond legacy which is 99% good.
However, the future may be much more cloudy if all goes will with Othello and still comes out afterward with we haven't done anything and no clue what to do

Well, the positive note is we are not likely to hear any solid Bond news until Othello finishes principal. We are looking at about a year out. So now we can all take a nice exhale, enjoy the year, laugh at the Daily Mail, or whomever, and go on wondering about the future.

Regardless of the time frame, I stand by the idea that if Craig is not part of the production team, which I would not look forward to, of the next Bond film that Broccoli will hand off the actual producing duties to someone else from EON. Personally, I would not have a problem with that. The Craig films are Barbara's legacy Bond films.
I don’t think she’s not interested in Bond. She’s the producer for a media franchise whose lifeblood is legacy. More than any fan, Broccoli understands what Bond means to the history of cinema and literature and popular culture.
The Barbara and Michael era of Bond films are not just some of the best in the franchise but some of the best action/adventure films produced in the last thirty years.
EON is a boutique production house for movies. Whether or not they’ve succeeded in any given film, EON knows that the franchise’s continued success is not in quantity but quality. Bond feels handcrafted. Authenticity, warts and all, is how the next generation of blockbusters will sustain itself. See Avatar as a supporting example of quality over the counter example of quantity in the Star Wars franchise.
If it’s the case that we need to wait two more years to get a Bond film from the director of “The Dark Knight” and “Oppenheimer” or the director of “Blade Runner 2049” or “Dune 2”, then I say we wait.
Agreed. Same with any other Bond. I wouldn't have wanted Connery to have turned up as Kincaid in SF, and I wouldn't want Craig to turn up in another Bond's era. It's best just to let them do their own thing.
