    Marc Forster won't be back. He confirmed as much a decade ago.

    No doubt he would have learned from his experience on QoS. This time have Stuart Baird edit.

    I don’t expect to learn anything tomorrow either, unfortunately.

    I've skimmed many, many posts over the past few days. Just a factoid or two:

    --On a previous page is said Skyfall had box office $248 million (or 248 million USD, if you prefer). It was $304.4 million (or $304.36 million to be more precise).

    --Deadline: Hollywood. It also said last fall the MGM-Annapurna joint venture was "thisclose" to being named as the U.S. distributor for Bond 25. The joint venture did get it, but it wasn't announced until May 25, 2018. On the other hand, it reported the whole Boyle-and-Hodge-pitched-an-idea-everyone-was-excited-about story. That, more or less was confirmed in the same May 25 release. It has its ups and downs.

    We'll see.

    Babs is not getting rid of Craig for Bond 25. Craig is locked into a contract and I dont even think Universal will allow for it to happen.

    Film contracts don't really mean much. So many actors are contracted for films and in many cases are never fulfilled, especially when signing on for multiple picture deals.

    apparently there is going to be an announcement tomorrow by eon according to the James Bond radio https://www.facebook.com/jamesbondradio/photos/a.1453543911549039/2265025277067561/?type=3&theater

    Just to be certain...if Danny Boyle is out, so is the Hodge script, and so is the crew he hired including the guy who would replace Dennis Gassner and any Director of Photography?

    Just wondering if anyone has news about David Arnold, because he'd worked with Boyle before and also worked without him as well.

    No, just because Boyle is out, that does not mean so is the Hodge script.
    Looking forward to any official announcement, sure. I like David Arnold, and I'd be happy for him to involved in some way.

    Craig's colourful quote from 2012 on contracts comes to mind:

    “They won’t let me go, and I’ve agreed to do a couple more, but let’s see how this one does, because business is business and if the s#!^ goes down, I’ve got a contract that somebody will happily wipe their a$$ with,"

    I really haven't read anything to make me thing for sure that the Hodge script is abandoned. I don't that at all.

    yes.

    We could be looking at a Peter Morgan Once Upon a Spy/SF situation where the core idea is kept but almost everything else is changed.

    Lots and lots of speculation.

    The only people that can confirm
    Anything is EON
    I'll wait for news from them.

    Certainly no need to get overly worked up over ifs and maybe.

    At the Q&A session I attended, Babs said she invited Marc Forster back but he said no....Marc Forster looked at her and said "did you, really?" but in a joking/loving way.

    They were obviously still close a whole year after QoS was released and just as happy to hear many fans appreciate it.

    Some considerations for a British director (given the unusual situation Bond 25 is in!):

    Mike Newell - he's older but he has done some of the finer Harry Potter films - within the confines of a formula. He's also responsible for Donnie Brasco which contains multiple excellent examples of tension, suspense, dramatic performances with a well cast ensemble group and a late career high for Al Pacino.

    David Yates - admittedly he's in post production on Fantastic Beasts sequel - but has delivered big budget films for an established franchise - all of which have been hugely successful at the box office.

    Jonathan Glazer - my left field choice - he had an amazing debut with Sexy Beast and his last film was a curious sci-fi with Scarlett Johansen - Under The Skin. Although there are downsides to his potential employment - He is more of an auteur and not used to anything on this budget scale.

    Newell and Yates are the British equivalent of a Ron Howard to me - they can deliver big budget films on time and to a high level.

    it's just occurred to me that Craig's new baby might be a factor in the scheduling. When is it due?

    Re: Forster doing another -- FWIW, from a couple weeks ago:

    https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/open-another-bondampquot-says-christopher-robin-director-marc-forster-100214395.html
    “I would be open to another Bond," says Christopher Robin director Marc Forster
    Stefan Pape

    It’s not just the rumour mill over the next 007 to take over from Daniel Craig that is interesting for James Bond fans, but who may be at the helm.

    When speaking to Yahoo Movies, to celebrate the release of Christopher Robin, director Marc Forster threw his hat into the ring by admitting it’s a franchise he would be interested in re-entering one day, follow his success with Quantum of Solace.

    [...]

    Going back to James Bond… Are you excited to see where the character is going to go next?

    Absolutely. I’ve always been a huge Bond fan, that’s why I wanted to do Quantum of Solace. At the time we had a writer’s strike and we had a bit of an issue with that, but I’m a very big fan, and it’s such a special movie. The one thing is that I wish we had more time to develop the script, but other than that, I love the film and it was an idea at the time to make it about water, which suddenly became a huge issue with the temperatures rising, and this was 10 years ago so nobody predicted it would become such a big issue, but I really enjoyed making this movie. Barbara Broccoli is honestly one of the most brilliant producers I have ever worked with, just fantastic.

    I'd be fine with Forster making a return. QOS while flawed is probably my favourite Bond film since Dalton left.

    The other Craig films don't have much rewatch value for me mainly because they're so over long with tedious drawn out action sequences. Even CR is weighed down by the endless Miami airport sequence.

    If you were Barbara Broccoli, how would you try to convince Mendes to return and take over an already troubled movie after the negative experience he had directing Spectre? What can they possibly offer him to convince him to return? I don't think a huge sum of money will be enough this time.

    Instead of posting nonsensical pictures, can you man up and elaborate what exactly and why you are disagreeing with?

    I wrote that Skyfall earned $248 million in the US in the first 26 days of its release.

    I would love it if they went back to Forster. IMO, despite QOS’s messy production, it turned out well, and I like to think his direction was a part of that. Had a lot more energy and excitement than SP; I’d definitely prefer that kind of style for Bond 25.

    @peter When you hear something we should all listen, but when a reputable movie news site with tons of sources within the film industry writes something negative about Bond 25, it's a "hysterical report"? (I am referring to the Hollywood Reporter article saying Bond 25 will miss its release date.)

    Making a Bond film especially these days doesn't exactly make you relevant and if it does, ones relevance lasts what, 5 minutes?

    He did only 1 Harry Potter film.
