I have looked into it. They really are in Budapest right now, but for a movie that's already being filmed.
It wouldn't be a bad way for Craig to go. Campbell is a proven safe pair of hands when it comes to Bond.
Don't worry me with such things. I figured he's been done since SP. I can only hope so.
I was wondering the same.
He's a smart man, threw all he had at SF, was lured back to try and catch lightning again, it didn't happen and it was a tough shoot. There's nothing in his tank for Bond and seems to have a busy slate.
I'd wager the house on this one: Mendes isn't coming back.
It's Campbell's 2 films in GE & CR that swings it - both classics to me.
That would do for me. As long as the next guy isn't Turner obviously.
That's a shame. I was looking forwards to a plot where Bond fights to stop boatloads of immigrants from being allowed to swamp Europe.
Campbell helming, David Arnold scoring...he can create a great final song and score for Craig's Bond and take the best of the melodies he created specifically for CR and QOS and weave them into the new soundtrack as a call back and say if booking ending things.
Just imagine in the finale when the tensions at its peak and Bond and Blofeld have each other on the ropes (or the films villain should it not be him) and interspersed with the classic Bond brass we get the chorus (orchestral) of YKMN!
Even without Campbell I definitely want Arnold back to cap of Craig in style with an actual decent score that you can hum. Not the bland (for the most part) soundscapes that Newman brought. He really didn't deserve that Oscar. Shows just what a face the oscars really are.
And ideally a Fleming title. Risco could be easier sell commercially as it's concise. Hilderbrand Rariety which I love is just a touch to stuffy sounding for what we all hope will be a rip roaring fist-pumping final film.
Also MARKET the hell out of this being his last. Write it as his last. Really give us a big bombastic ending to Craigs era. Make us feel the way we did in 2006 when anything was possible with the 'new' Bond.
Without a Flemming title I'd rather they A bit do a 'S' title (sorry Shatterhand shippers) and B would love a phrase title ala For Your Eyes Only. That would perfectly mirror Connery's original 5 to some extent.
Needless to say after almost two years of telling anyone that will listen to ignore the press and trust that Craig is back waking up this morning to the great news was extremely validating and exciting!
All 00 seem to get end up dead in the movies!
More seriously I could easily see Bond being asked back because of his history with SPECTRE. Heck even Blofeld would want him back!
That's a good point re SPECTRE ,it would make sense.
But not for a brand new standalone.
Mendes. And I say this having enjoyed his two films.
I wouldn't get much happier than having this pairing for B25.

Megan Ellison retweeted the Colbert announcement video....
Can we just hurry up with the news that Annapurna and Warner will release the next film, which will be directed by Yann Demange?
This is the most excited I've been for a Bond film in a very very long while.
And WB will sign up for one film,BOND 25, pending its success (which is guaranteed with Dan on board now) and will re-negotiate and take the reigns for the future ,starting BOND 26.
