Sad thing is, people just jjump on it, instead of applying logic. They are an easy catch for the papers. Just what they want and need. Marionettes...
In pinewood.
Did you see the script before he rewrote it?
So do I, more than it deserves probably. I don't know what Craig changed from and to in the script, but he recognizes his limits and kudos for it. Not every artist is a polymath.
Didn't he also ask that some parts of the novels be adapted in SF? He does seem to be far more involved in the creative process than any other Bond actor.
I wonder if the black UK reg Alfas are for the SP Rome chase where their roof is sliced through by a leaping DB10 as their registration would be out of shot and the stunt done at Pinewood
Yes, I heard that too. Definitely he has been more involved in the process, for the better. Whether that is by design or whether he insisted on it I'm not sure...
From what I understand, things came naturally: Barb likes and trusts him, Craig is her baby so to speak, and Mendes of course is a friend.
I think we sometimes forget how insanely big our beloved Bond franchise is nowadays. It's only logical it gets scrutinized similarly to "Star Wars", "Avengers" and many others.....
Obviously, 'smaller' franchises like "Mission: Impossible" don't witness thiso kind of scrutiny. Did anyone ever ask when Tom Cruise will step down as secret agent Ethan Hunt? This guy is older than Craig, and he's doing his 5th film already.
Whereas the "M:I"-franchise is definitely a Tom Cruise-vehicle, the Bond-franchise is much more....a James Bond-vehicle. That franchise is already 53 years old, is witnessing the 6th actor playing the role. It's only logical people keep asking bullocks questions like "Who's going to follow up Craig??"
You think it's bad now? It's just beginning. Once SP is out, the rumours will go into overdrive, because whether we like it or not, DC is closer to the end of his run than the beginning....
And now, the production is about to wrap filming in a couple of weeks, they said Daniel Craig rewrote the script? Right after probably 95% of shooting all the sequences is complete? It's sites like these and Facebook's very own MoviePilot that I avoid as best as I could, written by dimwit "reporters" seeking attention.
Yes, but I won't allow Danny to leave now ;-). Off course, he's closer to the end of his tenure. But I don't give a damn (no offense @bondjames ;-)). I love his movies. I've never been such a crazy Bond geek/nerd before Craig stepped in the role. My Fandom was already great, but Daniel Craig seriously made it bigger. To such an extend that at times my partner gets irritated by it :-P.
No offence taken @Gustav_Graves, and I relate to your affection for DC in the role. I share it, as do many.
It's just that we should expect the rumour mill to start kicking into overdrive. It was this way during Moore's run as well. It's par for the course.
I agree rumors will start coming thick and fast. I also agree that Craig has more Bond behind him than ahead of him. But it is not unrealistic to expect a fifth one for him.
An interesting thing to consider as well is that when we DC does finally does pack it in, this will be the first Bond replacement in the age of twitter/facebook etc. and also the first since the internet really went global (including fully into China). I wonder how easy it will be to keep the new guy secret and for how long.
EON will really have their work cut out for them. It was difficult before. It will be near impossible these days...
That was the fun part in the old days. You didn't know much about the film until it came out, and it sprung excitement in your veins. Nowadays, the internet spoils it all for you, which is saddening.

Hotel in Erfoud Morocco filming the new James Bond Film
Is it just for stay of cast and crew? Or will THIS hotel with wunderful pool actually be used for filming ;-)?
Not really. The Internet doesn't come around and force you to watch and read stuff. It's up to you. ;)
The truth will be hidden in plain sight, amongst the errors.
Look back at all the messages when someone posted here the title was SPECTRE, ahead of the media rumours. It was someone close to the production who told the member (something that happens all the time but that many find hard to believe). It was "proven" by many experts here that it was nonsense, since the URLs were not bought by EON...
And look what happened with Lea Seydoux casting : the site who gave the scoop was right, but since Mediamass had Lea Seydoux in its database of fake Bond girls announcement, it was not believed either, it was even "proved false" !
And there was what I reported that turned out to be right too :) Funny to see all the "experts" that proved me and others "wrong" keeping on claiming they know better.
Well, this is this noise that will help hiding the truth.
That's why I think it's best to evaluate all rumours critically rather than being dismissive based on what we want the truth to be, which some can do here from time to time. Understandable, as we are passionate fans, but I've also been surprised by the eventual accuracy of some rumours.
As many have said here, this time, even if there are a few issues that might need to be ironed out, the production team could call in just about any writer they could get as Craig said he was not a writer himself and would obviously not want to get involved in that aspect if he doesn't have to. Just an odd story by the Mail if you look at more of the picture. But I don't really know its reputation as a newspaper to be honest.
Plus, a vast majority of the opinions (not all) I have read in the leaks thread regarding the leaked script(s) seem positive. So in a way we have some info (scripts/outlines) ourselves that reassure me at least, to a degree, that things are not in "total creative turmoil".
And well, from a fan point of view IMO, the most surprising info from the leaks as far as the pre-production and the plot of SPECTRE is concerned, has yet to surface in the media :)
I know Goldeneye was re-written. The original script is still available.
