Not to worry, its possible that millions have had and recovered from the virus without ever being tested, and if this is true then the number of people left to spread to is much lower than suspected. So If this is the case then Bond 25 can go ahead as planned for November, and other films like Tenet may be able to screen before then.
Is this you?

Yeah youre probably right. We should listen to crackpots with no authority or expertise on a subject whatsoever on everything, rather than the most brilliant minds the human race can produce.
Haven’t you heard? Bill Thanos Gatesfeld is part of a plot to eliminate the human race and implement worldwide surveillance all at the same time.
They should have never got involved with Boyle and really pushed for a December 2019 release with fukunaga.
It was said fukunaga was in talks with brocolli before Boyle anyway.
Interesting. That would have meant it would have been knocking on the one billion dollar club, and bested SP's haul.
I don't think you do.
Sorry the truth hurts.
None of the delays are beyond reasoning, so why question them?
Okay! ;)

Fukunaga wasn't available when Boyle was hired, so it wouldn't have been possible.
It's interesting that in the UK they are now trying to get a vaccine ready for September rather than the projected 12-18 months. This ramping up to get a vaccine suggests to me that they see that as the only way to truly come out of lockdown.
I was dismayed when they hired Boyle. He was inevitably asked about Bond after directing Craig in the video with the Queen and repeatedly said that it wasn't the type of film that he made. What made him change his mind about that, what he ever comfortable in directing a Bond film? I wasn't surprised when he left. But it does make you wonder why the 'creative differences', whatever they really were, weren't discovered at an earlier stage - like when they agreed to work with each other.
Exactly
I don't think that when these directors are hired, they pitch everything they're going to do straight away. It's a process and things change. Maybe in Boyle's eyes, EON's eyes, or even Craig's eyes, the changes were for the worse, and the best decision to make on both sides was to call it a day.
As I said above, every decision that's been made has a reason, whether you like or not.
But yes, as you say, I'm also happy with Fukunaga and Zimmer so far. I'm also still very keen on seeing what Fukunaga would do with a new James Bond's first film :)
No, no, NO, NO, NO! No.
Yeah, True.
Of Course....Am with You.
Yeah me too. A third Mendes would’ve been a disaster and this comes from someone who puts both in his top 10. He made his personal Bond film and his general Bond film. The two complete each other, they are like the yin and yang of a broader vision of the character. SF is about a “mother”, a celebration of what makes Bond still relevant after half a century from an intimate perspective while SP is about father(s), a celebration of the legacy of the franchise within a gloomy world where nothing is black and white anymore. The pair is basically a celebration of the value of tradition inherent within the series. It’s like traveling “back in time” (in a DB5) with the heart in the past and the eyes on the future. A third movie would’ve added nothing significant and we already know that Mendes had quite an hard time figuring out SP.
Anyway I don’t agree when you say Craig came back to “correct” SP. He came back because they gave him the opportunity to add something new to the character and his arc with a 5th film. The fact that they are digging so much with what SP established, exploring characters and evolving themes to me it means that they are nowhere “ashamed” of that film but they just want to keep going in that direction, implementing this “Bondverse” working with an even straight continuity and expanding what SP brought to the table. Beside that, only a good portion of this community sees SP a disaster. Not the real world lol.
Thank you for your comments on Spectre. They clearly value that film more than Quantum and even Skyfall to a certain extent as it seems to be the movie with the most ties to No Time To Die.
Yeah, with a director at the helm who thinks (and I agree) that CR stands as the best Bond ever, which leads me to believe that he wanted to bring a similar energy and fresh feeling to his film (something that sometimes kind of lacked in the Mendes combo given their more “retrospective” nature).
:) Indeed.....Nuggets Of Truth.
Yes, there's that.
