Speaking of which, when we; humans; evolved next in billions of years time?
I don't think the situations are comparable. SP was a long, continuous process, and he got injured as well. I can understand how he'd want a break from that (which he did) and do different kinds of work (which he's doing after the break, both this year and the next), and could then be happy to do more Bond again. Or not. But if not, it's not likely to be because he has done other work in between, instead of doing only Bond. I don't think it's a question of energy per se (he isn't old and seems healthy and fit), but doing varied things.
Imagine you'd only eat your fave food for weeks (or months)... no matter how much you like it, you'd want to have a different kind of meal eventually, right? After a couple of years you might just loooove to get a bit of that old fave again.
So, who knows.
As I've said, I'm still of the camp that believes he isn't returning; if he does, I suppose it will be a nice surprise.
Talking about Mendes, there? ;)
Of course, my favorite director in the entire series!!!
I'm not even sure what I'd prefer. He's a fab Bond and for that I'd want him back, but on the other hand I had plenty of issues with Spectre, and wouldn't want to see that story continued, nor Waltz or Seydoux back.
Absolutely! That man knows how to kick off a new era.

If he does decide to return for Bond 25, this should not interfere with his schedule.
With Mendes gone, that ship has probably sailed.
I just can't see why any director worth his/her salt would want to continue something that another director started & with his characters, all of whom were less than impressive (imho, and in the opinions of a fair amount of viewers) to demand further exploits.
After all, SP was an answer to some questions few members of the general public clamoured to know the answer to (e.g. what happened to Quantum, White etc.) and I don't see them digging into this further to satisfy fans of the film.
I could be wrong of course.
I tend to agree, although pre-SP I was absolutely convinced Mendes would not entertain connecting his film to CR/QoS. There are a multitude of factors that will dictate what happens next, the key being Craig's return. Once we know that, we have reason to speculate, I feel.
The main unanswered question is whether Purity shoots all 20 episodes in 2017. If so, it could easily take six months (26 weeks), perhaps a bit longer. The plan is to show 10 episodes in 2017 and 10 in 2018.
Purity is a big ensemble peice and tells the stories of many different characters, one of whom will be Craig. He's not the star just one of many actors. It will not prohibit Craig from committing to other projects in late 2017, so don't bet against his return for Bond 25.
Has anybody seen this Aidan Turner interview with the Daily Mirror? Very briefly mentions Bond. I think he's taking the right approach to it.[/url]
That's the bit of interest btw.
Agreed.
But he's not just an actor in it. He's an executive producer. It still has the potential to take up six months or more of his time in 2017.
Hypothetical: Let's say it does take six months of his time in 2017. Does he then jump into a typical six- or seven-month Bond shoot in late 2017?
Well, we have no idea. Might or might not. I see no reason why not. It's not unheard of for people to work far more than 6 months and a bit per year (he finishes with the play in January), or not need several months after each project before stating another. The main question surely is does he still want to do Bond rather than what he does before the next Bond shoot might even potentially start. And we don't know. So...
Tell me about it. I'm already in my 8th month of work this year.
Whilst I'm all for having Dan back there comes a point where EON need to say 'Look we're starting the next Bond film on this date. Are you in or not?'
And if the answer is 'I need a bit more rest' then they need to move on.
Yes making Bond is very long hours and physically demanding but so is being a nurse or working down a mine and those people do it all year round and don't get millions for doing it
Bond is a very cushy gig and it's about time someone pointed this out to Dan and told him to get his finger out.
The trouble is there seems to be no desire on EON's part to force the issue. None of us really know what the deal is with the studio negotiations but you don't get a sense that EON are trying to drive things forward to make 2018 possible.
Exactly, Lazy.
