It’s called taking the high road, dude. I’ve got bigger things to worry about but apparently you don’t, because you’re still harping on it. Do you need more of my attention?
Quite apt that she says to James Bond:
“You’re late”
:D
Haha perfect timing
I do. I'm an environmentalist vegan. So please do not use the fallacy of relative privation with me.
Certainly hard to be very excited anymore when I realized there’s a decent chance I may never even get to see the film.
It's very sad that there is a possibility that some Bond fans will die because of the coronavirus between now and November. :(
I know right? Especially if they have to delay it AGAIN due to the virus still lingering in November.
Good for you! *slow clap*
It's at least 20x more deadly than the flu. Yes most cases are mild but the rate the infection is spreading compared to the number of available hospital beds in most countries means this thing could easily cripple healthcare and economic systems. This virus is no joke.
Under 39 the coronavirus is deadly in 0.2% cases. On the other hand what you’re saying about the nationals healthcare collapsing is true and it’s one of the major issues if not the most critical. I’m quite worried about the US where having a test will cost more than 3000,00 dollars in some cases. Last year in Italy more than 8000 people died because of the seasonal flu... sometimes even more then 100.000. I’d suggest just to take reasonable precautions without losing control.
I'm not panicking myself but I'm more concerned about the economic fallout, shortages of goods in stores and pharmacies, getting mildly sick myself but then infecting an elderly family member, etc.
This is just a terrible situation all around and I really wish there was an alternative to a November release which also seems tenuous at best to me.
It could, and for several reasons. So do you think they'd release it sooner if that were to be the case? Maybe during the Summer? Here's hoping.
No. The news are in. And the headlines and official release don't read "Postponed to later this year", but a specific date in November flu season. Kind of stupid. I could easily accept a "pushed back a couple of months, stay tuned for further notice"-release. But this? That's overreacting I think.
Yes, even if a new vaccine could stop the virus on its tracks, it would only be widely available by next year. And with that spreadrate, I don't see things easing down, even in November. Even then, there will probably more cases, more deaths, a statistical growth on all pathological fronts, with new strains and mutations and new healthcare measures imposed by governments and agencies around the globe. And tuning down the panic will not be an easy thing to do this year. The snowball started to roll and it will take a lot of sun to melt it down faster than it grows while going downhill. Panic like this will certainly take a toll on minds, bodies, and in the almost sure by now economical fallout.
Exactly. November almost seems too soon if they're worried about economic fallout from the virus. I am preparing myself for a further delay to 2021 or later. Seems entirely plausible at this point.
It could be Spectre all over again and it’ll take a hit at the box office when it does release who knows.
Their constant delays came back to bite them
You may not like it but it was a very conscious decision on their part. And they'll probably loose more from it than anybody else. So they are humanists and brave. Good for them, good for us.
That being said...Damn it!!
Yeah I'm 100% sure they didn't make this lightly and that they are just as bummed as we are.
I just worry that they picked November since that was the closest viable date from a business POV but it "seems" far enough away one could assume the viral outbreaks will be finished by then but all signs point to it being just as bad this fall/winter.
I'm preparing myself to have another significant delay.
should they totally scrap the film and start over?
Absolutely zero chance of that. They have hundreds of millions $ invested into this and it's surely very nearly a finished project.
I'd imagine it is 100% finished at this stage, we are only a month away from its previous release date and nothing suggests that this delay is anything to do with the film itself. The suggestion of it being scrapped it is absolutely delusional.
