Yes, they will either go for another autuer, or a well known and proven big budget filmmaker. Definitely not an unknown.
i remember someone telling me that dennis glassner had done BR49. I'd never have guessed it though. feels like EON lives in fear of self parody when it comes to Bond. They've erred away from the fantastical so much recently.
Although SF's casino scene does seem to have had a big impact. John Wick, Black Panther and Fallout all seem to have copied it to one degree or another.
there are known knowns and known unknowns, but they're definitely not going for an unknown unknown for this one.
That's why its called production hell. The people EON want aren't interested and the poeple who are interested EON doesn't want.
Lol pretty much.
Yeah.
It's been two weeks, not months.
The film is supposed to premier in just over a year, they don't have months to find a director.
Very true.
There was a initial few days where you couldn't move for news or rumours leaking out. However, the silence since has been most unusual.
Eon operate outside the Hollywood bubble, so there's a chance that a lot is happening that is going unreported. However, if Bond 25 is to start shooting in January, they'll need a director ASAP.
When Ant-Man lost Edgar Wright it took them two-weeks to recruit a replacement. I imagined Eon would want to stick to the same timeframe. I anticipate that the replacement will be announced in the next few days.
The likelihood is that the Boyle fiasco took up the whole of the 21st-24th August to clean up. The settlement agreement would have needed to be negotiated and Boyle's salary would need to be rescinded.
I guess the time since has been spent zeroing in on a helmer to take over. The deal must be close....
We simply don't know what's going on behind the scenes. No reason to panic just yet, just because we haven't heard anything in two freaking weeks.
So if directors of Howard's calibre are willing to come on board to finish what was essentially someone else's film then I'm guessing there might be someone decent willing to do the same for B25. And filming hasn't even started yet, unlike Solo.
From July 2017
Sequel of Edge Of Tomorrow are not realy get from ground with a very bissy Tom Cruise, who also whant to make another movie with him.
Directer of Unknown: Jaume Collet-Serra can be option. It whas a bit Bourne like.
Spanish directer. Spain, Germany, Croatia, Finland and England (cameo only) as locations can be enough. Yves Girard and Olivier Schneider who are credit for Bond 25 also working on that movie.
Not realy my first choose, but if not change rest of the crew. Because after all he is horror and thriller directer. Mabey Olivier Schneider and Chris Corbould is enough to take the Risk (Risico).
The option to use ''Risico'' growing with the day.
I think Doug Liman is a really good director. I'd love to see him direct Bond.
I'm tired of this tedious ban on American directors - it's so outdated and really doesn't work in Bond's favour. For English language films what person in their right mind would rule out American directors? It's absurd. And I guess it's a bit discriminatory in a way.
The Bourne Identity is such a great retro 70s-feel Euro thriller. I remember seeing it the year DAD came out and it was just embarrassing how far EON were away from where they should have been.
Actually, that is this thread, not EON.
That's a View to a Kill isn't it?
Agreed.
Doug Liman is an almost perfect fit for a Craig Bond. Efficient, unpretentious and good at both drama and action. Sign him up

I'm open to American directors and think Doug Liman could be excellent. Collet-Serra too. However, as has been mentioned before, anyone will have to meet with Craig's approval and it all depends on what script they are going to be shooting.
I still think it's commendable how this Boyle story didn't leak until he left. I think they got that announcement out pronto in order to control the story, fearing leaks, and so we are likely a bit aways from a new director announcement.
My guess is if Eon sell up and a big studio own 50 percent of Bond - an American will direct a Bond film. My gut feeling is Bond 25 won't be hiring the likes of McQuarrie, Liman etc.
It's obviously a policy Cubby had and it probably made sense in the 60s and 70s but now it just seems a bit pathetic.
Yet that didn't stop them when they copied the brother angle from Austin Powers.
