Well, if reports are correct they were actively courting him to direct Bond 25 (that's a big if, there). Regardless, there are also rumours that EON could be selling up, in which case Nolan could come into possession of it through WB.
Yeah, @thelivingroyale. I'm not sure we've had less tonal variation in the films for as long a period as the current one. Think of the range of films over any 13 year period in the series. I suppose 1981-1995 surpasses it, technically, though it was more like 8 years going purely by release date.
They tried to switch the tone up with SP. But ultimately I found it tonally in line with the rest of Craig's era (and in some ways the parts that worked least of all in SP were the parts where they did try and hit a new note).
If they were, and he rejected them, wouldn't there be a chance he'd come aboard with Bond 26 - with a new actor? This has most likely been discussed a lot already.
Yes, there's a good possibility of that, but I think he would do Bond 25 even, if he could start from scratch with a new actor. He doesn't have any movies planned at the moment.
We're over 2 years on from SP and still don't appear to have a script and director locked down, so pretty much anything could theoretically happen.
Perfectly put.
A perfect scenario, but very difficult to achieve.
The only thing you can blame on MGM is the delay of Skyfall. Spectre and the 4 year gap before Bond 25 are all on EON.
I'm sure directors are falling over themselves for the chance of directing a Bond. I reckon it's a case of Craig calling the shots and demanding an experienced big name director ala Mendes.
Thanks. So true.
‘Fear’, though? Sort yourself out.
Oh please. Obviously I don’t mean I’m literally afraid. There’s nothing wrong with some worry.
Again. I concur. There’s a lot of interesting negative discussion on here from members which is interesting, insightful and should be considered. Sadly there’s also a swathe of silly, hyperbolic outbursts (on both sides).
This is a summary of the Hollywood Reporter story linked one or two pages ago in this thread.
My point is, there are much worse fandoms to be a part of than Bond right now. We are getting a new film. 100%. And then we will get a new film after that. Patience.
Silly. The Sony leaks were not their fault. And if one bad script made someone an incompetent producer, well, there'd be no films coming out of Hollywood at all.
C'mon. There is no evidence of this. She is loyal to the current Bond, just as Cubby was.
There's a vast difference between fact (Craig has been announced for Bond 25) and opinion (Nolan would do better, Eon should sell, etc.).
Sanity and intelligence. Not a lot of it around these parts.
I fail to see how I used hyperbole. EON has been failing with Bond for a while now; it’s an overwhelmingly shared opinion. Between the botched job with SP and the lack of news with Bond 25 (it’s been over two years now; come on), I have reason to be negative. I’m capable of being optimistic or pessimistic depending on the topic.
Some of the venting is understandable because expectations are high after the underwhelming last entry. Such venting can be cathartic.
I'd encourage everyone to stay optimistic though. At present we likely know far less than we think we do. Hopefully we get some positive news soon and then the mood will quickly change here.
You said...
“EON needs to get it done then sell the franchise because they aren’t handling business well it appears.“
“Bond feels more and more like a dead franchise every day.”
“Anyone. Anyone but EON; they can’t handle it anymore.”
Within 30 mins. If you believe it, good for you. But it’s hyperbolic.
