He says in a Dutch newspaper-interview:
"(...) Meanwhile I am busy working on the new James Bond-film. I have conversations on daily basis about the film. Hopefully we start filming this year. But I am not allowed to say anything about it."
Van Hoytema did not accept the job because it is James Bond. "No, I always look first to the director. I did that with Interstellar too. In this case, it is Sam Mendes whom I greatly admire and with whom I wanted to work. The fact that I am involved in the James Bond franchise is really great. If you want to make a film series it better be James Bond. "

Great article @JWPepper. And it confirms everything what I've been saying for a long time. Just read the interview. Now the forum members see how important high profile/Hollywood cast&crew names are to lure other big names into a production:
Here you have it. We probably would not have had Hoyte van Hoytema, if Sam Mendes wasn't directing. And I remember very well how delighted all forum members in here were, when van Hoytema was announced as cinematographer. Please give Mendes' fame also some credit for that ;-).
;) Yes, indeed!
I thought the shooting begin on the 6th Dez
Yeah that quote from Hoytema is a little bit worrisome. Hopefully it's just a misunderstanding.
Oh yes! Ridiculous to anyone,who has ever been to a subway station and done a 1000 times before as well. The artistically bankrupt combination.
I think this is more interesting:

Since we are living in a time where huge piles of money have replaced creativity and audacity I would suggest that earnings might have something to do with it as well.
Certainly a factor.
I wouldn't read too much into it, if they don't start until January there's still ample time. Mendes will have streamlined his approach since SF.
I even see it as counterproductive, since the amount of money these A stars suck up inevitably is missed in production value. SF is a prime example for this.
:(
Me neither, but I could see him playing a Bond ally.
Yes, and december equals "probably this year" IMO. I think van Hoytema was just a bit careless, bit liberal in his answer. Don't worry.
Ok but the interview could have taken place months ago for all we know.
And you too buddy! Don't worry man ;-)
Seeing the photo of Bardem at the SF press conference made we wish he hadn't gone blonde. He looks much more formidable as his normal self.
I would be tremendously underwhelmed if he was cast in a Bond. He doesn't feel right to me at all.
Vicious, hard nut when needed, as in Training day etc.
I see Denzel more easily than Chiwetol, who doesn't seem villain material to me. Happy to be disproved though. He is also a good actor. I see Chiwetol more in the tslightly campy tradition of villains.
The age difference between Denzel and DC would be better. I like my Bond-villain relationships to be a little Oedipal.
Be the next villain ?
( sorry if I've missed some earlier posts)
I hadn't picked up on that rumour. Not sure about Idris. Loved him in the Wire but sort of underwhelmed since then. Although Luther was entertaining enough.
Loved him in Luther, if he was to be the villain I'd be very happy.
