I could go for a Vesper right now. Six of them.
Who knows? Interesting times.
Very.
Major Rewrite? What a joke, 3 years after SP, and they have nothing....
With Colnel Sun gone you both as always seem to offer the best version of things.
I'm not in the industry and certainly have no insights of it's workings.
It's interesting that some here lambasting Craig with slurs of being spoilt and having temper tantrums when some of the posts coming from some here who are just venting their frustration with no real insight are acting the same way, ironic.
To be honest it appears at least on this forum the DC backlash is in full swing, some here are taking and quoting tabloids and broadsheets who it seems just copy and paste each others stories and will all end up repeating the same story for infinitum.
I surprised some of you fans are taking the word of some hack writers who don't even have the good sense to research. I keep seeing Mendes in these articles as a possible replacement (god forbid) if you take a look at his schedule he's busy from April 2019 with 1917. Unless they expect him to abandon that to return to a series he was clearly not comfortable returning to last time.
Some very lazy journalism and we are taking this as gospel. It suits some here to believe because they have an agenda to have Craig out of the role so we can get Bond no. 7 out there with a new era.
I'm not an EON apologist I have issues with many of the films and not just the DC ones that some make out are the worst thing that has ever happened and I acknowledge that they well and truly dropped the ball on SPECTRE, I rank it no. 24.
Although I think we need to give them the time to find a director and let them announce things officially instead of jumping every rumour and poorly researched story out there.
Am I alone in thinking Nolan's films are incredibly boring?
No surprise here. A few of us predicted this several pages ago.
Yep, agreed. There's no point hiring a new writer for a new script if they are only going to stick with Craig. Better to go the whole hog, and really shake things up. I think people can see that Bond has no energy or momentum going for it lately. That isn't likely to change until Craig leaves IMO, so why drag it out another year or two?
Some weird suggestions. And I would not want Bond 25 to become TAKEN XY.
I really don't want Daniel Craig to come back.
I messaged the guy on Twitter who write the Boyle/Thomaz Kot story and he responded saying that attempts are being made to bring Sam Mendes back.

Agreed @Shardlake, even the Variety article is repeating speculation. Until there's an announcement, really, no one knows anything. I'm surprised with Variety. It sounds like a re-hash of the Telegraph and other media.
But the only quote we have seen is from Baba, MGW and DC-- which leads me to believe that DC is Bond (whether there's a delay or not).
I have just spoke with @ColonelSun, and without betraying his confidence, there was something a little more going on than the disagreement of a casting decision.
Right now, I'm still of the mind that there is a search for a writer or writers, as Variety suggests, BUT to polish the draft of the script they were crewing up for and casting for.
I'll probably be raked over the coals for that, but so be it.
I want a new Bond now immediately but I'm disheartened for feeling this way as Craig was initially such a good Bond and to see him do one last Bond film, firing on all cylinders is something I'd relish to see; but enough is enough. This Bond era needs to end and be cancelled.
Oh, no!

Meanwhile:
007 branded suppositories or laxatives (Bond did use one in TMWTGG) would have been more apropos, given the apparent current state of affairs.
Nope, I don't enjoy his movies either.
