Then probably 2019 is a good bet
@TellyBlofeld, you're right. I think somebody should get in contact with Dan in London quickly, and provide him with heavy armed guard. Turner might try to murder him in an effort to take the role.
I'd settle for a Poldark cameo, where Bond drives into a rural English village and beats the snot out of him for being a SPECTRE collaborator.
Bond: "Tell Blofeld I'm coming for him, and get a goddamn haircut, you puss."
EDIT: Hey, what do you know?! Old Emojis are back!
Bond will just reach into the boot of his Aston and pull out two 50 pound dumbbells, throwing them at Poldark's feet.
Bond: "Give these a lift, pretty boy. And don't forget to eat your bloody oats."
@Creasy47, I've never doubted this for a second, but just let Dan finish first. I know he'll give his blessing when it's time.
Without a release date for Bond 25, I'm not sure if this delay will have the effect on production that I think you're hoping for.
If we're to assume that EoN is in the development stages of a script, all this strike will do is allow P&W to continue writing right up until the end of the WGA contract (May 1), where all writing is put on hold (and, maybe someone can clear up the following: I believe they will have to have some form of the script completed according to their pre-strike contract, because once they pick-up the work post strike, all contracts could look very different).
This will give the folks over at EoN, and Daniel Craig, time to go over the script as is, and to continue to work and develop the story in-house.
By the time the strike is over, P&W can pick up with these fresh notes, and/or, new writers will come on board to begin the polishing process.
It's not as if Bond 25 is going into production and needs a script now...
They might have a 1st draft at best (and I suspect, based on when we heard W&P were hired) they don't even have that yet - but whichever way it is at present, the script is certainly not finished. And a strike will mean further script work will be put on hold.
Many feature films crack 5 drafts before they even start getting close.
Hence my statement; just because a first draft is completed before the writer's strike begins doesn't mean much (if one has even been completed).
That's what I'm saying. I think they are close to being done. Which goes back to my point I think things are really being hush hush so there are no leaks
Where'd you hear that at? Last I heard, they had been hired to write - suppose it's not too crazy to think they were hired months prior to the announcement, though.
In the end, this strike, if it does happen, won't have much bearing on Bond 25. It'll likely last for two to three months.
P&W will hand in a first, second or third draft, depending on their contract, and the powers that be, including DC, will get at it with notes, notes and more notes. By the time the strike will have ended, everyone will be well versed in the direction they want the script to go in, and they either hire P&W back, or turn to new writers for drafts and polishing.
Including the potential strike, I imagine we're about six months out from a shooting script.
