Turns out at the event they said exhilarating, not exotic, which is fine since it's all just words anyway, but exotic was a far more interesting word. Far more exotic, in fact.

Here we go!
And as far as we know he hasn’t even been hired yet, so I’m tempering my hopes!
I thought it was Paul King?!
Second choice for me was Uwe Boll but oh well sadly Bezos not reading the fans tweets anymore.
A solid pick if true. Hopefully he knows his Bond.
What's the point of purchasing James Bond if you're not going to have it on your streaming service?
Hmm...the article dated today is a bit weird in that it says the Broccoli/Wilson deal has not closed, yet it has. (That's how we got Pascal and Heyman announced.)
Interesting news about the director, if true.
They definitely have a strong working relationship, probably not dissimilar to Barbara and Craig.
Not only is the Pascal/Heyman/Cuaron dream team incouraging, but its been John Williams dream for years to do a Bond score, and this atleast opens the door slightly ajar to that possibility. So much to be positive about with this.
I would be all in for a Williams' score because it would certainly be different.
As of now he’s 93 years old.
It would be an amazing day if he were able to score Bond 26.
I can totally see that. I'd love a John Williams score. At the same time, it would always remind me of the tragic fact that Williams didn't score a Bond 40 years ago, when he was of fire.
Fortunately the poeple who caused that situation are not involved anymore. :)
On a different note, if Cuaron is directing then he would very likely also write/co-write the screenplay. Imagine going from P&W to Cuaron! What an upgrade!
No, Boyle hasn't been involved with Bond for quite some time ;)
In all seriousness I think it's once again a case where none of us truly know anything about these situations. I will say EON do deserve credit for rebuilding that film after Boyle walked (by his own admission he did this incidentally due to conflicts about fresh writers and casting). It shows how difficult these films are to work on, and I suspect Boyle wasn't the right fit and EON may not have known how to work with him.
There'll be other writers involved as was the case with P and W. I do think those two get too much flack on here incidentally.
I would settle in, it's still early days. They're not thinking about feeding the fans these snippets of details, they want to make big swings when their foundation is set. Just too early! That's how they get a Danny Boyle situation, they rush and announce stuff that sounds exciting but won't work in practice and then they look foolish.
But if Alfonso is working in the capacity as a writer/director then what is the next step? What do they have to resolve before they can be ready to hire someone? They already have producers in place so surely the next thing is the vision/direction you want to go in.
However, I fear he would like to make a period piece. If that happens, my anticipation will tend towards zero.
