A dream!
That's a funny way to spell Michael Fassbender.
I couldn't find a gif of Craig pointing to the guy in the komodo dragon pit, saying, "Good luck with that." Feel free to use your imagination!
The fact that they are committing to the "next few years" says that they probably have some kind of unofficial assurance from Craig on whether he is staying or going. He must have made up his mind one way or another by now, or they couldn't know for sure that a new Bond film is on the horizon. It's possible that Craig has decided months ago to leave, and everyone involved have spent the last 6 months or so trying to get him back. That's just one scenario. Like some other members, I don't buy the "we're all tired" excuse. That worked in the early part of the year, when they were still coming down of the global publicity blitz and a grueling shoot before that. Now though, it doesn't hold water, especially when Barbara and Craig are working together on other projects. Craig's "I need 6 months" line sounded a little indulgent to some, but 12 months plus isn't down to tiredness. Malaise, perhaps. Of course, it could be that Craig is still very much on board, and the only thing holding up production is the continued quest for a distributor (which may have finally been put to bed). If that is the case, then the only question remains why weren't they more forthright about it from the start? Barbara could have released a statement back in January saying "nothing can be done until we find a distributor" and everyone would live with that. Instead they have left themselves open to intense media speculation and done nothing to stem the rumours. I'm not really sure what is going on, but one thing is for certain - EON have a track record of behaving in such a sneaky manner as this.
EON does things very sneaky now of days maybe this the case maybe they have a distributor and a writer and a draft of a script and we don't know about it?
Unfortunately I kind of agree with that. I was/am a big Craig fan, but after SP I think audiences at least in NA are going to want to see a new face. I really don't think Craig is going to have the same degree of support before SP.
Bring on Craig, Campbell and Arnold.
They did after QOS.
Not this fan.
Well I'm a fan too. I don't know quite what I want right now.
Of course you can. EON did by going fromYOLT followed by OHMSS and again with MR and FYEO.
Going back to basics after a more flamboyant entry is standard operating procedure.
OHMSS doesn't have the same Bond actor in it than YOLT, look closer.
Also, with Moore it is a different story than Craig. Moore started by making traditional Bond films, whereas Craig never has.
The only way we'll get that is if Craig leaves.
How would you define a 'traditional' Bond film, what does that even mean?
Pretitles: Defining the problem or standalone prologue.
Main event: Something happens, villain is introduced, Bond is called for briefing, stops for a flirt with Moneypenny then goes straight into M's door, receives the mission, travels overseas, makes acquaintance with the villain and a couple of Bond girls somewhere between, is discovered as a spy, exposes the villain's operation to HQ, final battle, hand to hand combat with the villain, kills the villain, accomplishes the mission, gets it on with a Bond girl, end credits.
Most of that happens in CR and QoS
Exactly, the Bond franchise is probably the most formulaic one going.
