The second bit.
MI7 is already in post-production
Holding til 2022 just for the 60th anniversary is utterly pointless. It would have been like if Cubby decided to arbitrarily postpone FYEO by a year just so it could come out in time for the 20th anniversary. He didn’t need to then, and Mike and Babs don’t need to now.
I agree. At this rate we'd only get anniversary films whenever a Bond film is made, especially with 5 year gaps. NTTD for the 60th, B26 for the 65th and so on.
Youre living in a dream world if you think this virus is going to be delayed '' easily ''.
It'll be filming until at least May.
They were and are expected to decrease after these new variants have been discovered - come on a bit of optimism. This will come to an end.
And that's if there aren't any other delays.
I think we would all love to smoke what @Mr_Beach does right now. :))
That makes NTTD's move even more inevitable than it already was, but also leaves less room for the film to move to. Are they willing to head into October/November, with three spy films so close together? Someone I spoke to suggested the end of August, beginning of September. Perhaps around December is a good idea, in a "leave the best of the spy films for last" kinda strategy? Same thing happened with Kingsman/Rogue Nation/Spectre.
Indeed, and what about Fast and Furious 9?
If Bond doesn't get a move on, there could be few spots left vacant. The only way this makes sense is if they are holding on for a 2022 release date.
At the moment, but things keep getting pushed back.
At least two of these movies are going to be pushed back to different dates, so I don't think this will be too much of a problem.
All the cinemas that havnt been put out of business by that time anyway.
And assuming all vaccines have been fully rolled out, and Covid is no more.
Dark times ahead if they stick with this date (which I fear they might).
Because MGM and other studios (like SONY and Universal) announced dozens of delays yesterday. Bond was just one of those movies, that got a new release date.
They won't stick with it if we are back in another lockdown by October and cinemas are shut (which is very likely).
I sincerely hope you are correct, because personally I feel like the movie will tank if it opens in October.
I think back to what happened last year, the summer arrived, the virus spread slowed down, and people thought it was over, everyone went on holiday, and then the numbers began to rise again. I think theres a good chance the same thing could happen again. The UK is in heavy lockdown right now, and at some point we are going to come out before the summer, and people will think with the vaccine we are past the worse, there will be more gatherings etc etc.
Even if all the "at risk" people are vaccinated, it doesn't stop cases rising, which they will eventual once we come out of lockdown, and then the only way to stop cases getting out of control is another lockdown. If cases get out of control, doesn't matter if they are all healthy 30 year olds, they will push the health services to the max again.
I am praying that they simply picked October as a "kick the can down the road" date, because they needed a new date, and not because they think its actually a good time to release the film, because it makes no sense whatsoever. They might as well have released last summer, because the difference in boxoffice will be nothing, and it will spell complete catastrophe for the future of the series in my opinion.
Regardless, I'm happy with October, and maybe this date will stick?
Fukunaga, Barbara and Michael must have complete confidence in this film to keep delaying it without the temptation to tinker with the finished product. it will probably be amazing. At this point I fully expect NTTD to reach my top 10.
I do think it's weird that many Bond fans are acting as if Bond is the only film to commit the sin of delaying a film, when dozens of others have been as well. I call it fan entitlement. It's the childish aspect of fan bases.
Exactly. It's not like we have 24-26 other films in the franchise to enjoy.
They are delaying it because they literally have no choice.Its all about money.
