But I still do a round-about back to my original thought: this article, or others connected from this DNA of news-reporting, would, for now, prove, that, unlike what was being insinuated before from bondjames, no re-boot is being planned, especially if DC is one of the parties "willing" the boyle project to come to fruition.
And thank you @bondjames , you've no idea what head explodes when I'm under duress! You're very kind to worry about my well-being. So, I now pass on to you: so long's I'm not worrying, you don't need to worry!
@peter: No worries. I understand your feelings about the Daily Mail.
Re: the worrying: something tells me we're going in circles. Best to leave it be. You don't worry. I don't worry. We'll both be happy.

@AlexanderWaverly in addition to your points, if I'm not mistaken Baz also called Craig's return before it happened and he debunked Nolan as director prior to Christmas. So yes, he's usually quite accurate.
1. Variety identified Boyle as a director candidate.
2. Deadline came out with the Hodge writing up his and Boyle's story idea and that Boyle directing depended on that getting accepted.
3. THR said Boyle was going to direct this musical movie first.
"Smaller budget suggests reboot to me." via @bondjames.
Insinuation: an unpleasant hint or suggestion of something bad.
"I've done nothing to deserve all your vicious insinuations" but more synonyms: implication, inference, suggestion, hint, intimation, connotation, innuendo, reference, allusion, indication, undertone, overtone;
My bad if i, like, inncinewatated moore at bundjahms.
Not the more common use which suggests something bad or unpleasant.
Ah, I see now. Good.
Thank you, it may be semantics but I see a re-boot as a re-imagining of a series or franchise that is completely separate from what preceded it. Even if Bond 25 completely ignores the events of Craig's previous films, it still exist in his timeline and this incarnation of Bond; it just has no need to mention anything from previous films but it isn't a reboot.
And yes, I'm not a fan of traditional running. I use a combination of traditional weight training, maintaining muscle elevates resting metabolism, and HIT. For those who are interested The fundamental principles of High Intensity Training (HIT) are that exercise should be brief, infrequent, and intense. Exercises are performed with a high level of effort, or intensity, where it is thought that it will stimulate the body to produce an increase in muscular strength and size.
As it applies to Craig; I think he employees a similar routine. He WILL be ready, and looking fit for filming.
(rolling eyes so the dry hinges WHINE loud).
If you'd like to predict that a re-boot is happening (perhaps what you meant when you first suggested your opinion), then I won't say that you're wrong or right...
Some people find being fallible a weakness, @bondjames... I always suggest for those to just climb off the horse.
You have a g'night.

Sorry @peter I have no idea what you're going on about now. Of course we're fallible, most of all myself. I've been wrong more times than I've been right here and I'll be the first to admit that. Not sure what your point is. Just to clarify, we were having a discussion about low budget and I suggested that it could mean a reboot. My thinking was based on the fact that the last two films which had lower budgets (the Campbell ones) were those that were reboots (soft and hard). It really wasn't a prediction otherwise I would have come out and said that. More idle theoretical conjecture in the course of discussion about possible smaller budgets, and of course I knew that Craig was mentioned in the tweet to begin with. Your post to me in response indicated a bit of a misunderstanding of that, and the further use of the word insinuate and now your last rather hostile post seems to confirm that. Oh well.
Oh, Dog, thank you for speaking up about this training (and, it is transformative, boosting testosterone and human growth-- everything that will make you, me and DC look great again; people think they "run for fitness"-- but we now know, running is horrible for the skeleton; after a while the repetition of the movement stops using fat as fuel and will actually eat into muscle; more and more runners compositions end up being a very frustrating "skinny-fat" very low lean mass (muscle) vs higher fat %).
I see your point; it boils down to how a individual defines a word or term , in this case re-boot.
Like I keep asking you: we live in the same city: lets go for coffee and chat Bond for an hour. But you always ignore my invitation (I'm not joking by the way; we should; I think we're two bright ppl who would have a lot to say!)
However, when one says: Smaller budget suggests reboot to me... you are, I'm afraid, making an insinuation, and, yes, a prediction.
We could argue about this all night, but, instead of that, don't assume you're under attack, and, instead, see how your words can easily be perceived.
Anyways, coffee or a drink is on me, bondjames. I promise I won't bite, and, contrary to my confusion of Boyle/Doyle I've been described as pleasant company. You should try me some time. Honestly.
However, having read your earlier post, I thought further about it and Thor came to mind. After the long time that will have passed between SP and B25, a new writer could create a different tone and universe for the current iteration just as they did in that film, and give the impression of a reboot without actually doing one.

@peter, just to clarify again, no prediction. Prediction to me confers a degree of certainty, and my speculation was anything but. When I want to make a prediction I will come out and say that, as I did when I went on record early to state that Nolan wouldn't do B25 if Craig was Bond.
I think those who have followed my posts over the years know that I like to theorize on a variety of topics. My posts express my thinking as I come up with it. Then I correct or reassess and go in another direction.
I apologize if my manner of communicating is resulting in some misunderstanding of my intention to you. However, they were my words and I hope you'll allow me the privilege of telling you what I meant as opposed to you telling me what I meant. I hope it's clear as mud to you now.
That is very cool! No jokes on my part. Seriously, I get it.
I don't work in the industry and have no connections to writers or EON insiders or anything. My guesswork (and that's all it is) as as good (or bad) as anyone else's.
@peter I'm sure you realize that we all follow everyone else's posts on this forum. Over time we get a feel for where a particular poster is coming from on and where their fandom lies as well as how they think. That's all I was saying. I wasn't insinuating anything else. Nothing sinister, I can assure you.

EDIT: @jake24, apologies on wasting a few posts on this thread. Just felt the need to clarify what appeared to have been a misunderstanding with another poster. I'm moving on.
Me, too. I hope that what is meant by completely different as opposed to the same old Bond.
Unless, of course, Hodge's script is devoid of ALL elements and traditions that make it a Bond film :gun-barrel, PTS, title sequence, theme song, Bond music, etc
Assuming that “same old Bond” is the Bond we saw in Skyfall/Spectre, I welcome the change. I have an idea in my head about how a Bond film should be structured:
1. Gunbarrel
2. Action-packed pre-titles
3. Title sequence
4. Catalyst to the plot (villain introduction)
5. Bond meets with M, Moneypenny, Q
6. Bond travels, investigates, possibly infiltrates villain HQ to get info
7. Bond meets/beds secondary girl (possibly villainess)
8. Bond learns about villain, sets meeting
9. Villain discovers Bond, henchman give chase (car chase sequence)
10. Bond meets/beds main girl
11. Bond confronts villain, captured by villain
12. Climactic big action sequence
13. Bond kills villain
14. Bond beds main girl
15. Credits
While this is true, I do feel like some elements of the formula must be included for it to be a Bond film (gunbarrel, titles, Bond theme, etc)
Everyone complains about the same old stuff (P&W, Mendes, etc), then still are upset with something new. I say it’s worth the chance!! Rather gamble on something fresh and different than stick to mediocrity (SP).
Bike Another Day. =))
