I wouldn’t go this far.
Reasons to be hopeful: an opening for Martin Campbell, sounds like the script is still in good shape, avoiding a director who has bitten off more than he can chew or whose heart just isn’t in it (a la SPECTRE), the return of David Arnold? Dennis Gassner?
Reasons to be terrified: they wouldn’t possibly go back to Sam Mendes...would they? WOULD THEY???
Didn't they go through a relatively long process of trying to get a director for this film already? I'm pretty sure they were trying to get a fit with Craig. I'd assume the replacement will be someone who he's either worked with, or can work with very quickly. They don't have a lot of time to get this going. Either that or they delay and reimagine it, in which case McQ may be interested.
Another reason to be terrified: they go back to Purvis and Wade's script, or just solely stick to them! If anyone needs to go (based on their comments before Spectre, and now with Trump), they probably feel they have run their course with Bond. New writers, please!
Now realistically I know It’s highly unlikely. But what if the would give him a 5 or 6 month delay?
2. No indication that the script has been scrapped.
3. The fact that DC's name is on the announcement means he is still on board
4. Finding a director, with a script in place, won't be much of an issue.
Or you could stop. Just sayin.
Why would EON go running to the director of the last two films from their biggest competitor franchise? It seems like an admission of defeat, especially after they so openly decided on this slightly different route with Mr. Boyle.
No, I think they need to replace Boyle with another arty farty. Someone who can make it seem like they've gone 'like with like', even if it's superficial. Either that or take time off and reimagine the concept.
I quite agree.
Campbell's great work after CR: tell me. I'll wait. I mean, CR was twelve years ago. So breakdown the brilliant directing career of Martin Campbell, 2006-2018. That'll be entertaining. The woodie that some of you have for this hack is one of the great mysteries on this site.
He is a workman director with Oscar clout really the best of both worlds...
Still hoping the Mcquarrie rumors are true
True, it could be a matter of nerves and not have anything at all to do with "creative differences."
If this is in fact what happened, then I'm more curious than ever about what Boyle had planned, because I may have liked a more low key suspenseful affair.
I wonder who he had creative differences with. Universal, EON or Craig?
This could be about box office pressure.
Exactly.
There there it will be all over soon. You just need your snickers. That's why you're cranky.
I really wish people would stop using this word, especially those who clearly don't actually understand what it means and seem incapable of using it correctly.
Campbell has many good to great films on his resumé that both critics and fans like, so that alone means the insult is inaccurate.
Let us hope that Hodges' script is completed and used, or new writers are brought in.
Did you forget he directed two of the Best Bond movies ever?
