Eon should sell 007 to Disney............... problem solved.
The real problem will begin after that.
Better a world without 007 than a corporation like Disney owning 007.
Warner Brothers owns Leavesden studios (Harry Potter movies)
I have it on good source that your bet is well placed.
I disagree.
Remember that the series started as an every year thing ('62-'65), then went to every other year and did generally well in the latter for decades. STAR WARS was never established with those short gaps, so trying to do an every year release eventually proved to be a disaster (with SOLO).
Dragging these Bond movies out for ridiculous 4- and 5-year gaps only to deliver movies with subpar scripts is the height of idiocy. At least if these things came out regularly, and we got a terrible Bond movie, we'd have less than two years to wait until the next one.
What would make the series really valuable are producers who can develop the material intelligently and also keep to a consistent release schedule. And yeah, I know, people will argue that the movies are too big to be produced every other year, but I've never believed that crap.
I believe the contract is set to last until 2030 so unless they decide to let EON rent, it could be quite some time before we get another Bond filmed at Pinewood.
Barbara and Michael are not Cubby and Harry, who were able to turn out classic Bonds every other year.
Note that Michael and Barbara did keep up the 2-year schedule in the 90s across 3 films.
They also planned an impressive 18-month or so turn between 2006 Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace to try for a May 2008 release. Indicates they had that mindset to move forward with their bold direction taken.
Then there are the writers' strikes. The studios. And the courts. Those are what set the current state, though it doesn't have to stay that way.
And now they fortunately completed the latest film, but there is the pandemic. One possibility is it will focus them to get reestablished and move forward once again. Or they'll wait it out as necessary, to try another day.
In Peter Lamont's book The Man with the Golden Eye he reveals that there were thoughts of actually filming Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace back to back.
They made films in 1995, 1997, 1999 (every other year), 2002, 2005, 2008. Not exactly massive gaps back then.
Yes I'd like to know that. I've always had a hunch that they intended Bond to try and be reaching for his machine gun on the floor and to flip the car onto two wheels briefly so it fell in his hands as they go around the JCB.
Not sure how the two are related and I don't remember any voting taking place on here.
Qos' Car Chase, is already up there with the best Bond car chases....but having Bond perform a sort of wheelie in order to reach his gun would have further made my day, seeing Bond in such stylish awe.
Yeah it does seem in need of some kind of punchline to make it a Bond sequence, for him to do something clever, and that's just where it felt like the elements were leading when I watch that. I may well be wrong.
As moneyofpropre2 says, there was clearly a lot more planned to that sequence than we saw on screen.
Yeah, looks that way....or maybe they decided to make the Car chase more Visceral, considering it's Craig's Bond.
It happened. I voted (it was a yes, thankfully).
The relation is simple: both are (pretty “controversial”) statements driven only by the frustration caused by the longer gaps we are facing in the Craig era.

I have taken sceencaps of some of them.
Gracias
Crikey....these are amazing.
Someone should save these asap. As I'm fearful that they'll get pulled.
Also, I note that Dali Bensalah's character seems to loose his eye in Matera!
I need these Ana De Armas photos in HQ!!!
I have saved them all just for fun.
Tip: Do a search like "Daniel Craig", then you get full version of a photo and some also in colour. Still watermarked though. On the other hand you can find many cool old with no watermark
I would advise everyone not to republish all NTTD stills on blogs, forums, etc. I only uploaded some here as a teaser. I'm not gonna tweet or put them on instagram
