The idea for vesper to have had a child
Or
The idea that Blofeld is bonds step brother
The first.
The only way to undo the inconsistency of the bundle that is Spectre is for Boyle to execute a concept he previously did in Trance.
:))
Bond should always be current and reflective of the present day.
How come Hans Zimmer is still allowed to work?

Bond, high on heroin, gets lost in a petting zoo for two hours. Nobody would see that one coming, that's for damn sure.
No matter what happens, this will have an impact going forward, and we'll probably see it play out over the next year. Barber was instrumental in driving the strategy to date.
I think it will have an impact for this reason: Companies run best when there's a single, unquestioned CEO.
MGM, for now, is to be run by an "office of CEO" consisting of multiple people reporting to the board. That has got to slow down decision making, at least somewhat.
Also, when MGM first came out of bankruptcy, it was run by Barber and Roger Birnbaum, who had both been at Spyglass Entertainment. Birnbaum eventually bowed out, taking a producer deal at MGM. He was the producer of record on the recent Death Wish remake. That left Barber as the sole CEO.
I agree that this is likely to slow things down a little due to the added players in the mix. I used to work for a company that went through a period of setting itself up for an IPO / sale (they eventually sold) and what I'm seeing here is quite reminiscent of my experience there. The Board getting more hands on suggests they have a clear path in mind (whatever that may be).
I suppose we will learn a lot from who they eventually select to replace Barber.
We hopefully will know more on the March 28th call.
From what I can tell, they still don't have that all important foreign distributor locked though.
@jake24 it was just a guess but what @bondjames said makes me feel better about 2019 again march 28th investor call will be interesting to listen to
