24 films without a female director is what turns this into identity politics.
UK
Like it.
Surely hiring a woman or a black man (or woman) could give the film buzz. However, I'm in the camp that says get the best 'person' for the job irrespective. I feel that the most important consideration now should be to find someone who can work with the scripts they have without too much tinkering, and who can also work within a rather compressed timeline to deliver a decent enough effort by October/November 2019.
Always hire the best person for the job and find other ways to promote your product rather than relying on identity politics forced down people’s throats.
Because at times EoN are pussies.

Depends on what you mean by perfect.
It is not a perfect movie by any means, but it fits as a swan song because it ties up all the loose ends from previous movies, the title sequence includes scenes from CR, QoS and SF and Bond (supposedly) quits the service; it's also the only Craig film with a happy ending and the one he gets the girl at the end of the movie. So yeah, I despise SPECTRE for all his flaws, but it feels like an ending to Craig saga.
That’s amazing
I directed non profit tribute films (Shamelady, Shatterhand and Shademaker).
My movies didn't cost a penny other than food and gas and each actor's personal wardrobe. 90% of the time I didn't have a camera or sound crew.

So if they don't have a director, I'm free and I'm cheap! ;-)
I suspect Craig is under contract for Bond 25. Universal signed on with him announced as Bond. Craig stays. regardless of the haters among the Bond fan base. If a new Bond has to be found then the movie moves back to 2020 at the earliest.
Craig has been an excellent Bond......second only to Connery.
Not my quote, just so everyone knows.

It was listed as Shatterhand back on July 18. So is this the P&W script? Could it possibly be the Hodge script? And just how long has Boyle been exiting the project?
Fingers crossed. How reliable is Production Weekly?
I think many do share your setiments. The Craig era has indeed been exhuasting.
No there is nothing special about Craig. He is a good Bond actor. I like that he brought back Bond's lethal physicality. We hadn't seen such a formidable fighting Bond since the Connery-Lazenby glory days.
But Rog Dalts and Broz all brought good things too. I lump Craig in with these three, as all worthy Bonds. My ranking can be very fluid here.
As for Bond dying this is just one unsourced tabloid report.
It's quite possible they got it backwards. I think it's more likely that Boyle floated the radical idea to kill Bond, assuming anyone did, rather than Eon.
Babs said no, and suddenly we have impasse.
It seems very strange though, that the two sides would have an agreed upon story and script, and then suddenly this notion of Bond being killed comes out of nowhere.
Of course such a radical idea is going to upset the whole applecart.
It seems to me that the outlier director might be the more likely culprit, that is again, if the Bond dying story is actually true.
Shatterhand could be pointing toward something...or it could be nothing.
What an awful article.
I think Shatterhand was the original working title until Boyle came along with his new whiz-bang idea.
Maybe Eon is going back to Plan A now.
I was sure they were originally moving in a Shatterhand direction as follow-up to SP.
The story sure seemed to be hinting in that direction , especially with SP being somewhat of a riff on the OHMSS story not to mention the very obvious nod to the old YOLT-movie, Spectre volcano lair
The SP vibe and imagery seemed to be hinting, sceaming even, further amalgamation of both the OHMSS &YOLT stories, book and film, setting up a first opportunity to work with Fleming's unused Shatterhand material.
