Why are you listening to him? There aren't 12 movies from Marvel Studios coming out between now and 2019. There are 7. Also Marvel TV has nothing to do with the actual movies, they're a separate entity and as far as the films go many of the same producers work on all if not most of the projects but none if that really matters as it's Kevin Feige heading it all up and working on every single one of them which is the most critical aspect for all of Marvel Studios' continued, influential, unparalleled and growing success.
I loved the quick insert of Diana Rigg...and the cat.
They all say "Produced by Kevin Feige, p.g.a." Spider-Man: Homecoming also had "Produced by Amy Pascal, p.g.a." because it was joint Sony-Marvel deal. (Feige has had the p.g.a. designation on his Marvel movie credits since 2013 when the Producer's Guild reached an agreement with the studios.)
Feige went to Disney and said he didn't want to report to Marvel anymore. (There was something called the Marvel Creative Committee he had to deal with, among other things.) Disney agreed and Feige reports to Disney executives. Since then, a new "Marvel Studios" logo appears on the movies while the old "Marvel" logo appears on Marvel television productions.
I watched The Defenders last month on Netflix and it had a Marvel logo. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Spider-Man: Homecoming had Marvel Studios logos.
Yeah Roger moores a view to a kill deleted scene f bomb :)) =))
The universe is not enough.
Pretty much it's not the world anymore :))
Hey @bondjames, @RC7 ? You think there's a chance that the recent news about Amazon and Apple joinging the bidding race for distribution rights, has changed some recent facts?
I mean, could there be a chance that there actually almost was a deal with Warner Bros. Pictures, so that because of that EON Productions thought it was the OK-enough timing to release the news about Daniel Craig returning as Bond and to release Bond #25 in November 2019? And that now because of that all these certainties have now become extremely fluidic?
I mean, this happened a few times before eh? Remember the 'fixed' release date of late 1976 for "The Spy Who Loved Me? Confirmed by EON at the time. But then the McGlory lawsuits and Saltzman lawsuits came up and TSWLM was delayed for a late 1977 release.
Curious what you think of it, and if Bond #25 could be delayed to 2020 because of the recent news about Apple and Amazon.
We only could wish
Keep in mind the sequence of recent events. MGM/EON announced the 2019 date only at first, saying that additional announcements, including cast, would come later. Then Craig said he would return on Colbert (after denying it earlier in the day). 007.com confirmed what he said the next day.
I believe that they will attempt to meet the 2019 date. The only thing that can possibly derail this would be a transformative deal with a studio or an outright sale to a third party, in which case we are due for a very interesting future.
Yup, I concur. We'll have to wait and see......
Awesome video. Very amusing
https://www.gq.com/story/report-james-bond-is-getting-married
TAKEN was about Liam Neeson's daughter getting kidnapped and put into the sex trade.
If B25 is indeed Bond getting married and his wife killed, then it's OHMSS re-dux, not TAKEN.
What a stupid comparison, and that GQ article perpetuates the rumour. The one accurate statement in it: the lack of chemistry between Lea and DC... If they go this route, and do it with her, ouch...!
But then again, I still think there's not a way in Hell that EoN would allow this to leak. There have to be only a few people who have seen the script at this point; and they must have signed confidentiality agreements. Tracking down the person who leaked this to the media wouldn't be difficult.
However, maybe EoN wants this to be leaked as a red herring. That the script is the exact opposite of this; that they've planted a fake story to keep everyone away from what's really happening behind closed doors at EoN?
You've read the script?
Why not take the tactic that did the last film no favours and use it to your advantage.
Let the press run with all kinds of BS then when they drop the first teaser in early 2019 they show a mere morsel of what the film is going to be about.
Keep it under wraps maybe even make sure the main trailer doesn't show too much (unlikely but it would be a novelty this day and age).
They need Nolan style secrecy on this project, as for these stories I certainly hope they aren't true and have faith EON would never let something like this get out so early in the game.
All will be revealed come 2019.
It's always worth noting how the use of the phrase "producer" on something like the Marvel Studio output is a hard one to pin down. 'Working on them all' is not at all the same as physically producing them all. And not everyone believes the Marvel movie machine is that "influential" or "unparalleled" right now.
I agree. But it is still possible to turn a Bond film around in 2 years. QoS came out 2 years after CR even with a writers' strike. Originally it was to come out in May 2008.
They don't have to have a zillion locations neither to complicate the logictics of filming. Dr. No is largely set in Jamaica and is still one of the best Bond films to date.
I'm not advocating necessarily 2 year gaps, but what you're saying about it not being possible isn't true. Let's assume Bond 25 is where it is now back in spring 2016 - early script development etc. You could then have had pre-production right through to November 2016. Filming from November 2016 to summer 2017. Post-production for a October/November 2017 release. That is the typical length of pre, prod, and post-prod that Eon typically have.
Bond 25 is taking a 4 year gap from Spectre for a variety of reasons. No doubt some we are aware of (distributor, possible tension on Spectre set, fraught production, MGW's health, DC needing a breather/getting his teeth into other projects) and some we are not. But the timeline of pre, prod and post isn't what is doubling the gaps between Bonds.
What I mean is that over the last say 20 years, the actual production timelines of the Bonds has been very similar - the Brosnan Bonds all went into production (barring TND which actually went into production in April!) in January of the year of release.
Feige was and gas always been running the show. He just didn't want to work with Ike Perlmutter who was tge wirst thing about the MCU. Feige broke away and answers directly to Bob Iger. Still, irrespective of logos, like I said tge TV division is NOT the same as the film division.
I absolutely loved that! So funny, and the card game at the start was just brilliant!
It is always advisable to not hold too much reverence to past production timelines and project logistics. And announced production schedules rarely have any bearing on the real working timeline of a movie - that has had a lot of work and man hours put onto the clock way before a "first week of shooting" press call or press release. If those at Bond HQ could bring out a Bond film with more frequency they maybe would. The process of production is important to Bond HQ. The effort and challenge in making the film is key. But so too is quality, industry realities, production specs, finance, creative windows, box-office bench-space and just getting things as right as possible. And all of that is before one looks at how much studio space is needed compared to what is booked in to other productions (as an example, Pinewood is ensconced with multiple Star Wars movies, Disney remakes, Indiana Jones, a possible Jurassic World III etc), what is the availability of key actors (A-listers can have years locked down in the work diaries), what creatives are available at what times, who is already contracted to other projects that could just snap into being, what facilities houses are around, which key trade windows need working around, what others commitments are, what are the logistics of taking hundreds of crew and personnel to any corner of the world, what facilities have to be taken abroad and what are available and then what are the release windows left for that touted year, what are the release windows in every country and every territory of the world and how, when and where is the press tour taking shape. And all that is before a post-theatrical roll out is established and carefully worked on to ensure the home, digital, broadcast and online releases are all maximising the brand and eventual title.
These things don't take time because time is being wasted or a previous movie's production timescale is being ignored/copied. They take time full stop.
