Now the speculation can start about whether he does a 6th!
Unless they kill off Bond (lord help us) it doesn't matter how B25 ends - DC can always return.
I don't think anyone would be foolish enough to say that EON have an easy job ahead, but they certainly have my support and I'm excited to see what the next two years bring in announcements. That all the speculation can end is a gift on its own, separate from the prize of the reveal for me. An incessant and childish chirping into my ear was quieted just hours ago, and the feeling is magnificent.
Well there is still that underlying worry... :O
Wonder if David Arnold will be back.
I recall an interview in which he stated, if Craig came back, then so would he.
60th Anniversary. New Bond actor. OO7...number 7.
I hope EON pull out a GE or CR style film. Masses of hype.
They've delivered in the past on such things. No reason to think B26 would be any different. Especially considering it will be the start of a new Bond actors tenure.
My understanding was the Waltz would only want to return if Craig returned - that doesn't necessarily mean he is returning, only that he would agree to return only if Craig is in it.
I know your all partying it up right now, and justifiably so since you got what you wanted, but what does this really mean, and what gets you so excited about this? All we know is Craig is back, P+W is writing and it'll come out in 2019. If I were you I wouldn't be excited, but deeply nervous. No tenure has ever ended on a high, and Craig simply stating that it's their intention to do so doesn't exactly make it happen. I mean, I expect it was their intention for SP to become as beloved as SF, and that didn't happen did it?
Regardless, I want it on record - this film (Bond 25) will be mediocre at best. I'm not the least bit optimistic about them ending on a high. I'm glad for the Craigites they will get to see their man in a tux once more. Just temper that hype a bit, as there's a good chance you won't get the film you were expecting, just like I haven't.
The one bit of news that would make me happy now is if WB won the rights. Bond 26 is the best chance we'll get of a clean slate, so bring on the Nolan trilogy, and fill in that 3 film tenure spot.
A new Bond actor in the 60th anniversary year... that would be good publicity. But doing both at once would add pressure to an already tense time for them. Assuming that EON intend on releasing another film in an anniversary year, this is one of the reasons why I wanted Bond#25 to be a clean slate. Debut the new Bond in 2019, and then release his second film to mark the Diamond anniversary.
I think it's inevitable that Bond 25 will pick up sometime after the events of Spectre and will, as Craig's last film, wrap up loose ends. I suspect, as RC7 says, Blofeld will be back for a showdown with Bond, and whether that means Shatterhand or not, we'll just have to wait and see.
I think it's the perfect time to launch OO7th actor as OO7.
Diamond anniversary. Do a straight, no holds barred Bond film. Every Bond actors debut film has been generally well received by audiences. DN, OHMSS, LALD, TLD,GE, CR.
Cast Bond #7 right, give him a good director and script, and it's looking good. EON have thankfully done this several times already, so I would have faith in them.
Who knows, even Turner might be perfectly capable of taking on the role then. ;)
I'm thinking about the added pressure. But Turner for twenty two has a nice ring to it.
I don't really think that these stats are anything to write home about. Roger Moore may have been Bond for a shorter time but he did 7 films within his tenure.

Puts him at 39 for his debut. Some would argue that he's possibly too old for his first film. ;)
I have to say, I'd rather Turner for #26, than Tom Hardy.
but we're looking way, way into the future there. Bond 25 hasn't started...anything aside from the obvious. Release date, lead, writers.
And if certain members are to be believed Waltz is back. So that's Babs and Mike, Craig, P+W and Waltz all returning and presumably the MI6 crew too. Seems like they are doing the same again minus Mendes.
Ugly looking watch.
I'm happy that Craig is back but I am perhaps foolishly hoping he will return to his darker, grittier portrayal of the character perhaps because he suffered another misfortune in his life. If he pulls another Spectre Bond then I just won't enjoy Bond 25 as much. Of course there are a million other things that they could stuff up too to hinder my enjoyment of the movie. Let's hope this time around they'll pull out a good one... :)
I have it on good authority that it wont last long. ;)
@Mendes4Lyfe, don't be such a spoilsport. Speaking for myself, I am excited by the simple idea that I hopefully won't have to hear Turner's name suggested for the role again until at least 2020, if even that soon (Fleming preserve me). That peace alone is quite rewarding, and dare I say triumphant.
As for everything else, I love how the era has gone and overall find it exactly to my liking, so why wouldn't I be positive about this? Hard to be deeply nervous when a team I enjoy and love is continuing again, and things are finally set in stone for it to go on for one more. I wouldn't call it hyping things up just because I choose not to be negative or bitter about the news, the same attitude that has been cancerous to this place for so long. Perhaps one should suck it up, realize what has happened and try to look positively at it, hoping for the best? At the very least save the damnation and judgments for when the trailer finally drops or you see the movie, instead of criticizing things blindly and assuming. Overall, I challenge your postulation that Bond 25 will be a poor film, an argument supported by your past misreads of so much related to Bond 25, least of which being Dan's involvement.
I understand you've gotten a bitter taste now and are feeling disappointed. You aren't alone in this, trust me. This footage was taken while a special someone was viewing the Colbert interview, reacting live to Dan's big announcement:
One day, maybe. One day.
It's traditional in Bond for the director, composer etc. to return. That's not in itself an indication they were trying to make another SF.
The Brofeld dimension was unfortunate.
Actually I think it's pretty incredible. If you'd asked a bookie for odds on Craig lasting longer than Moore on the day he was announced I bet you'd now be cashing in some serious money.
Even if it is a mediocre film, it wont matter to him in the long run as it's his last. Of course no-one sets out to make a mediocre film. It's not like they started SP and said, 'Ok guys, lets make a half assed Bond film.'
They still have lots of time to flesh out a decent story, and hopefully a decent director.
Get the story right, and you're half way there.
Yes, of course stuff she's interested in - that's what people generally do with Twitter. It's not only movie or tv stuff in her twitter, but when it is, then it mostly actually is stuff she/Annapurna is involved in, not just tons of any movie stuff (which is what your comment about "everything" seemed to suggest).
I didn't say it means Annapurna has distribution, but I found it interesting that she re-tweeted that news, which is why I mentioned it.
