Nothing's set in stone, however. We'll have to wait until after Spectre is released.
Aside from the character posters (I def believe we're overdue on them) I fully disagree. The theatrical trailer came out only a month ago, and the earliest I can see another trailer coming is end of September (by comparison, Hunger Games should have their final trailer end of October, and Star Wars, well they've had two teasers and their full length trailer should only be coming late September).. Neither Star Wars nor Hunger Games have "proper" posters yet - just teaser posters, Spectre's should be on the horizon. (And in fact SPECTRE's second teaser poster with Craig is pretty much everywhere in a lot of cinemas, in the UK and the US).
So at the moment, we're doing just fine at this point in time - aside from character posters, we've got all the content that a big November movie would have at this point in time.
The visible marketing (TV spots, billboards, cast appearances and clips on TV shows) only really kicks in around a month before release, so October.
I wouldnt be suprised if Craig is trying to say goodbye & Barbara wants him to see how SP does before making up his mind.
SP is going to factor in a lot of things by the end of the year.
Maybe but there is much more calm resolution less relentless enthusiasm in that interview than what we had with SF. Not saying he is not just as pleased but he seemed ready to end. Like the final course of a great meal he just enjoyed...
However I think the meal is far from over and I believe Spectre is not the last course intended for Craig... whether or not he excuses himself from the table well...
We can be glad if they start thinking about it somewhere by the end of 2016.
Pre-production will maybe start at the beginning of 2017.
Another 3 year gap is inevitable. In 2018 Craig is 50 years old, the media will have a field day putting his ago to the frontline. To believe anything else is naiv imo.
If they dare to have some kind of an open ending in Spectre they have gone done the looney bin even more than I thought possible.
Where's the enthusiasm among Bond fans when we need it?? I think every Bond-fan and loyal MI6community member should scream "Danny, please don't leave as Bond after SPECTRE!!!" Everyone!
I love the man, I love the actor Daniel Craig. He did stuff to the Bond franchise that no one could have thought off before 2006. He's even a bloody uncredited creative consultant to the Bond films. He's the 'Connery' of our lifetime! Hell even Sir Connery himself fiercefully defended Craig as Bond.....TWICE!! And I won't accept it if Craig leaves after SPECTRE!!
There are a few reasons for this: I do think he has more to give. The franchise doesn't feel stale, it's not declining, the films are increasingly and universally popular. If some of the rumours and speculation is true, we've entered a reborn arc of characters and storylines. This is in complete reversal to the "end" of all previous Bond actors maybe with the exception of Dalton.
So I think DC probably will be back for B25. He's being moot on the situation because to do anything else would be unprofessional. He's saying he doesn't want to do another one because he's only just finished the biggest one yet! What I'm trying to say is that we shouldn't despair - yet at the same time - not take anything for granted. We have to hold on dearly to what is good.
All I'll say regarding the script in this thread
What would you do if he does? Nothing drastic, I hope....
If it's indeed his last, I'm sure they've known it for some time and have been coy with us. Hence, they probably do have the new Bond in their sights and we likely will go to a new, more compressed production timeline.
I'm not saying he's leaving though, just that if he is it wouldn't surprise me and I think most people in the inner circle know about it already.
BTW, I wonder if marketing will be negatively impacted by Sony's possible loss of the franchise, in terms of lack of enthusiasm from them. Why go crazy if you're possibly losing the franchise.

I doubt it. Sony need to make their case if they want to keep it.
Dtd
F*** you. I don't even care if I'll get banned for that.
Is there actually ANY Bond-fan in here who is more firm and actually really wants Craig to stay???
I agree that Daniel Craig is being plagued with pointless ambiguity (apparently the Sony Leaks have become more damaging...hence the continuous rumours about Idris Elba). But should WE Bond fans therefore not stand up for Mr Craig and support the man more fiercefully??
It really agitates me that so many Bond fans have this lackluster "so be it"-mentality. By jolly....at times I would have liked to live in the 1970's or so. In those days we didn't have Sony Leaks!
