I'd rather have Denis Villeneuve, although I think neither are probable.
Did Eon have a back up plan in case Boyle were to crap out at the last minute? Surely they wouldn't still be going with the Hodge script and Boyle's 'great idea"?
Are there any non-Bond related highlights about the studio? What else do they plan on releasing?
1. I am now OFFICIALLY done with Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson. They should have given Boyle everything. And I do mean everything.
2. The only way to save Bond 25 without a delay is to stick with the Hodge script and hire Martin Campbell ASAP.
I feel sick. This is probably the darkest day in James Bond history.
Have to agree with this. I prefer more minimalistic watches; less is more, as they say.
Interesting read; thanks for sharing! The track Ritchie specifically mentioned - ‘Into The Lair’ - is one of my favourites from the score, actually. Not the most memorable perhaps, but still very good.
What, that thing again?
I wouldn't mind a more conventional action director taking over. I don't think Sam Mendes is the guy for Craig's last film.
If Hodges' screenplay is ditched that could be a bit worrying given the time span. Not that long until December. Hopefully it will all be sorted out. :)
Yes! Craig+Campbell+Arnold. Go out like you came in .
I mean... if you replace Boyle..replace him with a well known name...Ritchie would fit the mold..
It's only a guess, but I'd say Boyle might have had ideas that were too out there for the franchise. Wasn't there something about Bond mentoring a pupil Bond girl? That could have been Jinx all over again. He might have made a Tamahori of himself for all we know.
I was thinking he'd be a more careful Mendes, now I suspect he might have been a more reckless one.

Didn't they drop P&W for Hodge in order for Boyle to direct? I thought that was the impetus to go with Hodge in the first place - i.e. to get Boyle. Seems like a total cluster you know what.
It's possible, but one would think the key elements of the script would have been locked down by now, especially since they were apparently casting.
Something doesn't make sense here, really.
Craig isn't leaving either. Otherwise they would not have put him on the list with Michael and Barbara
Samuel Mendes.
Either DC is just fulfilling his contract, or it is a sign that he, for now, is still 007.
At the TCA's this month, the CEO of Showtime said both they and DC are still interested in getting 'Purity' made.
There's no way BB and MGW don't know about this. Surely, they have a plan going forward, so they don't lose DC.
This is probably reading too much into, but this might explain B25's absence from IMAX's 2019 schedule.
Perhaps the screenplay had some major element - the so-called "great idea" - which Boyle thought was integral to the story?
Eon might have said "no, your idea hasn't worked, we don't like it, remove it" and Boyle said "if you take it out I'm walking."
If that is the case, then why on earth did they realise only 3 months before filming was supposed to begin that they have creative differences?
