Rodrigo Perez actually writes, "A script nobody is entirely happy with." It could be a diplomatic term to imply that the current script is crap. Or it could be that they have a script that results from a myriad sources and influences. Or the generic Purvis and Wade material that lacks some brain and heart. Or anything.
It's likely that development for the big action scenes is quite advanced, as they need storyboarding, rehearsals, scooting for locations, securing contracts with the local authorities, etc. At this point, they may be able to change a few lines here and there, but they can't improvise. The plot (structure or story) and the dialogue are the things that can be changed or fixed.
If Broccoli and Wilson assume that by hiring Scott Burns and delaying the production by a month, they can get a better reviewed film with more box office legs on a more favorable release date, if they hope, let's say, to make $100m more by spending $20m more, that makes business sense, it's not necessarily desperation over a script nobody is happy with.
It’s always the same story. Bond is producer driven which is why it’s a franchise that will never have anything truly fresh. I look forward to a new Bond film but the excitement and passion I used to have went out the window a long time ago. My faith remains in the books.
(No offense to you, of course)
“He has been a box office smash raking in £3 billion per movie”
Something tells me this isn’t right
None taken. I just looked up Bond 25, found this, and decided to share it and see the reactions :)
Well, for one, I think Eon's dance with Boyle slowed pre-production down...
Eon typically does hire someone to polish the final script. It was Butterworth for SF and SP, and Haggis before that, and Feirstein before that...
Uh. No. Fact-check: the reasons behind Boyle's firing was reported via me through another one of our "connected" posters; all of this was verified weeks after our postings (actually, you should know all about this since this is the time you barraged me with PMs over and over; I have your harassing PMs from this time, @Pierce2Daniel. All of them. I gave you all the info I had, and when that wasn't good enough, you demanded MORE MORE MORE. And, feeling quite uncomfortable with your messages, I sent them to others since I felt you were "losing" it.
At this time, you EXPLODED and, on this site and on this thread, you accused me of being ColonelSun! WRONG! AGAIN! An accusation I know the mods told you was a falsehood and they asked you to back away).
And here you come again.
As you know, the reason behind Boyle's dismissal was reported here before the "news" verified it weeks after our postings; I stand by these reports.
Cadiz has been scouted as has Jamaica (reported by another source on this site, not related to me), Italy and Norway (I keep saying I didn't hear from Norway); I shared that I heard news about 2nd Unit (which I shared with other posters, not named @Pierce2Daniel, as did @ggl007); and we have been rewarded and verified with the stunt coordinators tweeting their pics of rehearsals.
There is an OFFICIAL PRODUCTION PAGE I go to about B25 production (and they changed the release dates immediately; as of this writing not the filming dates).
Your 0% is in your own head, P2D... And it's a reflection of your own projections....
So you have this strange vendetta to prove me wrong-- but all my posts here are dated, and my IMdBpro page is available for all to read. I've never hidden behind an avatar and a fake name. I get my info and and I shared (mistake!); who are you? Who do you get info from? You said Collider....
Unlike you, I have no reason to feel like a Big Boy with any info I get. i receive info and I shared it (for a time with you too, until you acted like a nut). I know production schedules change, but i reported what I had/have in the moment (which, when the dust settles, like with Boyle, and 2nd unit), everything I reported did come from a true source and will be reported upon sooner or later (like Boyle, second unit and locations).
I have no reason to bullshit @Pierce2Daniel -- I am a mod edit nobody writer with a few credits to his name (Christ, ask @Birdleson, our mod; he watched one of my films! I didn't want him to since I didn't want to be responsible for the loss of his braincells): i have some legit connections to real insiders to EoN. That's it. They tell me what they feel free to tell me in morsels and nuggets coz they know I am a nerd fan. Plus, we have really been trying to get Gregg to read something I have done which we think will be up his alley. That's all true, mod edit!
Like I said, and this will be the last time I say this to you, @Pierce2Daniel : pick a new hobby. Your trolling and gaslighting concerns me. Concerns my wife. Concerns my three kids (all teenagers), that have read your nutty attacks.
Stop.
It.
As far as B25 is concerned, I have gone back to my original sources of info to see if the article posted today is concerning a "polish" or if it's something more (and that would concern me, lol!)
P
(I'm no saint, that's for sure. But I've been found to tell the truth)
3/24 isn't quite most. And even in Goldfinger the destination post-credits is discussed.
Same cheers @HildebrandRarity @Risico007
@HildebrandRarity welcome aboard
@Ottofuse8 that be epic
That 2016 year was a waste they sat around and did nothing both MGM and EON
Your guess is as good as mine unfortunately maybe Spectre was too exhausting I don't know?
