    You'd imagine the promotional campaign playing around with this for all it's worth!

    Fukunaga. Didn't he play cards in Casino Royale? Okay, okay.

    February 2020. Well, that's not even a delay, is it.

    Valentine's Day. Not bad. I would have gone with Groundhog Day myself. But still. Okay with it.

    Christmas in February. Nice. Surely everyone can get behind it.

    I actually like a February release. November (and December if watching a Bond film late) is always a busy time of year, IMO, whereas February is usually "just another month" which could do with some excitement.
    I agree and was thinking just the same thing.

    What's the domestic and international distribution situation again?
    MGM-Annapurna venture handles the domestic distribution while Universal handles the international.

    Cheers.

    Wow! I'm absolutely over the moon about this one! Risky, especially considering the last director departed for "creative reasons" but a more interesting pick than even Boyle in my opinion. Bring on February 14, 2020!

    I'm glad we have the director finally. I'm not as enthused by the delay but at least it's not too long. True Detective 1 is indeed excellent, but that kind of sensibility may not play well into global box office. It could be a bit obtuse.

    A few points I noticed regarding this, given the nature of the conversation that has been ongoing on this thread for the past month.

    1. there is a delay
    2. the film will release in early 2020 (and not late 2020)
    3. the director is American
    4. the announcement came out of the blue and was a name we didn't hear beforehand
    5. they annouced the director as soon as he was locked, and didn't wait
    6. Variety, The Hollywood Reporter and countless others got it right

    I hope this demonstrates that there's nothing wrong with speculation by amateurs in lieu of hard facts. That should perhaps be kept in mind going forward. Those who predicted the above, congratulations. Well done. I was on the wrong side of some of the above, especially 2. and 4.

    Do the best predictors get a prize?
    A little humility and decorum would be just fine with me going forward. Nothing more is needed.

    Apart from trying to gas-light a situation, I will point out a few things of my own:

    Very few people (one, and sometimes two, in most cases), sided with a poster by the name of nosolaceleft--

    Whatever our thoughts on the man, and I read his "novel", and I have plenty of adjectives, that I will put them aside-- he was far from humble, and;

    He stretched decorum, at best.

    So it's rich when some of his most strident defenders ask for humility and decor.

    And, once again, steering gas-lighting aside, I will point out that everything the HWR and Variety started to report about one week ago, @ColonelSun was reporting weeks ago:

    1/Danny Boyle left because of a casting over-rule by its lead actor Danny Craig... Uh... not true.
    2/DB left because DC was a primadonna; also, not true: The two had issues with where the Bond character was going, as now reported.
    3/Instead, @ColonelSun explained there were concerns about lack of budget/action in the script-- now verified weeks after posted.
    4/CS said the producers wanted new writers on board to punch up this missing element in the script-- now verified after he posted-- and especially with the hiring of the new director...
    5/CS said DB didn't want new writers on board-- verified after CS posted.
    6/ people PM'd me asking what I knew, and I told them the truth: nothing. It's gone silent. And, because it's gone silent, I said to them, that means shit's going down. And shit went down. I have these PMs as proof.

    So we can all make lists. And we can all gas-light BS.

    So, instead of gas-lighting one's insecurities, lets just be happy that there's a genuine talent on board, a strong creative voice. He is gritty and real and naturally someone who is able to dig into the human condition without being melodramatic.

    No, Fukunaga is not like David Lynch (as someone had said today!). Fukunaga is soooo his own visionanry. He's special. Unique. Masculine and visceral.

    As I said earlier-- I could never see a Boyle Bond film. But I can see a Fukunaga Bond film...

    Thanks Donny. I just needed to clear up a few inaccuracies from this morning, and-- what's it called now?-- dispense with Fake News.

    There are people who have taken a page out of a certain playbook: misinform and repeat or misdirect, or bend, and make it the truth.

    Sometimes the truth is just the truth.

    Bottom line for those not of us not trying to whip up some kind of argument: Cary Fukunaga is an incredible choice to book-end what started with Casino Royale!

    Great points, @peter.

    The only thing I know for sure is that one can't properly judge a thing until they've seen the film. Myself included. So I'm hoping we can all share in the happiness that things are back on track and we're headed for an interesting result.

    Now, the fun bits can resume! Location, casting, title song rumors. So much to talk about.

    I agree, @AgentM72 , with all my heart. Let Cary do his thing and we will judge on Valentine's Day of 2020--

    Will it be Cupid's bow?
    Or Capone's Massacre?

    Only the film will reveal.

    We're six months away from the day filming begins. I wonder when are they going to hold the press conference.

    Your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps it will be a bit later this time around given the later shooting start date. If they have things lined up with cast and script then perhaps they will do it as per normal just before Christmas. It would be a nice holiday gift if they did.

    If it is a true conclusion, could it beat Moonraker in the most cast reprisals? If they really want to keep continuity, we could see a lot of role reprisals.

    P

    Early November for the Teaser. Boxing Day/New Years Day for the Theatrical Trailer. Start rolling out the TV Spots then towards the end of January, blast them all the way to February 14th. Marketing will be key considering even the most casual of fans won't be used to seeing Bond in the February slot. The brand is obviously strong enough to get by, but they'll need to hit them with content on a holiday day for maximum impact.

    I completely trust that this info is accurate.

    Great post to move us forward and into greater discussion of and speculation on Bond 25.

    Me: wondering if Fukunaga's previous collaborations come into play in casting a Bond Girl (Mia Wasikowski?) and villain (Luke Evans? Elba would be fascinating). What about the title song? Much to discuss until March!

    It will be dropped before that. SP was dropped just three months into filming.

    So I think the teaser for 25 will come out in summer.

    Normally, the second/full/theatrical/international trailer would come three months before the release of the film, which would be around the holiday season.

    I think the teaser trailer will drop, maybe, three months before that? Late summer, perhaps?

    This seems likely. Maybe they will tie it to the start of a late summer big release next year. Not sure what that would be though.

    I would've said Top Gun: Maverick, but that'd be too early for the Bond film. They'd still be halfway into filming.

    EDIT: I forgot about the fact Top Gun was delayed. So, scratch that.

    Actually yes, this makes more sense. I'd imagine the teaser hitting sometime around mid-August. Universal have Hobbs & Shaw coming out then, so there would be a big audience for a Bond trailer to be attached to that. Maybe late November for the theatrical trailer instead.

    That's how I see it. Good call on Hobbs & Shaw.
