    Well, Fukunaga’s more experienced than the average director so I don’t that’s fair on him. And you can have older directors who lose a bit of their creative spark or drive later on, or even just make films which don’t match up to their previous work for whatever reason. But ultimately no, an older director isn’t a deal breaker, and I don’t think that’s a reason to discount Campbell. But it’s not always the case that the most experienced director gives you the best film (even if experience is important).

    To quote Bond, ‘Youth is no guarantee of innovation’ and ‘Age is no guarantee of efficiency’. But vice versa is true too.

    Ofcourse that's correct. But there does seem to be a much more prevalent trend of writing off directors for being too old compared to too young, and I don't think that's right either.

    Well, I don’t know about that one way or the other. I’m sure some deserving director out there hasn’t gotten a job because they’re seen to be too young. Similarly I have no doubt some people view certain directors more favourably because they’re older/more established.

    It's going to be Martin Campbell and it's going to be Timothée Chalamet as James Bond.
    You guys are going to spend years going over my old posts and how, would it be possible, that right he was?

    I kinda want to create a prediction thread where everyone has one go at outlining what they think Bond 26 will look like (story, the next Bond, director, Bond girl etc). Keep it aside and revisit it when Bond 26 comes out. It’ll be interesting to see what we get vs what we expected. And of course how wrong/right many of us are!

    I will happily make a prediction Bond 26 is released in August 2028. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

    Still?

    That's probably an out of the box choice as Bond films tend to get released more towards the end of the year (usually September to December at the latest). I suspect it's partially due to Dalton's films underperforming when released in the summer (especially LTK which had an unfortunate amount of blockbusters to compete with), but also to capitalise on the holiday periods in the UK/USA dependent on the month, and to differentiate Bond from a typical summer blockbuster.

    But ultimately I don't know. We could get a Bond film released in August 2028... or November 2027. Hell, even December 2026 isn't out of the question in theory at the current time. I don't know... If anything I can imagine an unusual Bond film being released earlier in the year (probably more April or May). But it depends on the film, and I suspect the entire schedule is revolved around when it's released.

    Currently Wicked and Gladiator II are the box office champs. But at what price? The NYT addresses the ad campaign for both films that began at the Super Bowl last February. The cost of making both films and their ad campaigns add up to about half a billion dollars.

    Currently there is a trend for nostalgia films. Right up Bond's alley, that is if there were a Bond film on the horizon. While it is a given Bond will have a legacy audience, that younger demographic may need an ad campaign well in advance of the film's release.

    Since it's already been teased Bond will return, why not some occasional teasers such as "He's on his way" or something that lets audience know he really will be back in action.

    Maybe it's time for EON to loosen up a bit and begin to mirror the youth and vitality of the audience they're trying to appeal to. It may be that the Bond films are not aging out as much as the folks who are producing them. (I would still like to see Martin Campbell direct.)

    There was an early plan to release QOS in May 2008. And NTTD had a planned April 2020 release at one time, if I got that right.

    I don't know the reasoning for those, still the producers would revisit that sort of a schedule.

    I'm happy for the films to continue being released in the last 3rd of the year, but it makes a nice change to mix things up once in a while. I think a summer release for Bond 26 would be really exciting, especially if it is 2028 because the Euros will taking place at that time, and the feelgood energy will be reminiscent of 2012 and the London Olympics.

    January, August and September are low season for cinemas. It's not going to happen.

    Mr. Campbell is 81. How far into the future do you wish to predict such work for him ? As for Master Chalamet, you mean for a Young Bond story ?

    I think Chris Corbould should get a shot at directing.

    I saw on Wikipedia that the "Untitled No Time To Die Sequel" had a tentative release date of January 2028. It was a citated entry, not just put in by some rando, so I guess we can surmise from that, that they are aiming for a late 2027 release?

    Chalamet will be 30 soon. They will dirty him um and mature him up and he will do an early 00 Bond story. I don't think the "Young Bond" will ever become a film, MGW did the script prior to TLD and threw it away as it didn't work. I asked once privately about the script, and he said he forgot.
