Trying to remember the rumours from 2018... obviously a Russian villain to be played by Tomasz Kot, but also something about a villain's female accomplice having a big role, as well as a female rookie MI6 agent. And now with Tildesley mentioning a giant rocket, I wonder if Boyle and Hodge found some inspiration in Fleming's Moonraker?
There was a casting call back in 2018.
Also, I found an article supporting the idea that Boyle wanted to kill Bond. It's from the Daily Mail, but still.

The 'Boyle wanted to kill 007' rumour has been pitched as something he wanted and something he fought against. We will have to see how NTTD ends to find out who was on what side...
Meanwhile, whilst Rami Malek was an uninspired choice - a masterstroke really, I was stunned when he was mentioned as he's perfect for the part but had never come to my mind before - but Tomasz Kot would also be great.
Kot just looks so a dapper, evil villain in the making. I hope we get to see him in a big production, as he really stood out in the Cold War. Which was a little overhyped and uneventful for my tastes otherwise....seriously sexy cinematography though
If that was me, and it was real, and there was even the slightest chance of it actually happening, there is no way I'd be Tweeting about it beforehand.
Seems he's making a joke about the 1990s Columbo episode of the same name....
1960's Max Von Sydow would have made a great Bond villain, IMO:
He was looked at for Dr. No.
Thank you for reminding me of all this information! If I do remember Boyl's will to cast Tomasz Kot as a villain, a very good choice if you ask me, I don't remember having read anything about a female bad guy or a rookie MI6 agent. I guess the last may have become the character of Lashana Lynch through the rewrites. The link with the novel Moonraker is in any case interesting. I hope that we will learn more over the next years.

For a more hands on villain, it would have had to have been the 60's or the 70's. He was effortlessly dangerous looking as Joubert in Three Days of the Condor, for example.
Didn't know that!
Doubtful, but stranger things have happened. I'd wager, very doubtful.
I do remember you saying the split between EON and Boyle was finite. I am just hopefully they will pick up on the idea of filming the next one in Canada.... selfishly that is
I don't know the entirety of Danny Boyle's Bond plot, but one think I know is Boyle's Bond would have been a very stylish picture.

How horrible. What a sad story. My heart goes out to him.
Disney's musical drama Hamilton, originally due for a wide-release in theaters on October 15, 2021, will now be going straight to VOD on Disney+ on July 3, 2020.

Shot of new 00 agent Nomi in the upcoming James Bond No Time To Die. I worked in costume props and assisted Kevin Giles in the make of Nomi’s harness in this photo. Costume cut by Simone Feulner. Costumes designed by the wonderful #SuttiratLarlarb. Cant wait to see more and be able to share more!
Sadly like so many other families, my thoughts and prayers go out to him, his family and friends.

Ooh interesting! I hadn't seen those before. I was going to say an Elon Musk-style villain would be fun, but then I realised he's like every Bond villain already!
:D
Oh, wow. Completely forgot about those.
I really do hope we find out, in detail, what Boyle's film was going to be after NTTD is properly released. The MI6 site led us to believe on Twitter they'd had firsthand accounts of the script, so hopefully it does one day all come to light...
Here's hoping NTTD gets the same treatment when the time comes. Coz i seriously don't see the movie being released in the cinemas in November. Right now I don't care how I see it just as long as I get to see it. No more delays please.
