    So if Bond and Madeleine are still together throughout this film ,will this be the first completely monogamous Bond?
    I can’t see this happening.

    Daniel craig looks tired.
    How can he get back up and fit mentally and physically to play james bond.?
    Does he looks past it now ? Yes or no ?
    Should he have quit ? Yes or no ?
    Is he just doing b25 for the money ? Yes or no ?

    Love this pic. Really, I do. And it's quite old (and perhaps, possibly, is a part of something to do with KNIVES OUT); HOWEVER, there are more recent pics of DC online. Surely you can choose from them?

    Remember that recent Omega ad? That really recent one-- that is how DC will look (or better), for 25.

    If you're a Bond fan, especially in the modern era, why would you think that the leading actor would come to set looking like the above pic? Why?

    Makes no sense.

    But makes perfect sense if hes playing a different role outside of 007 (heaven forbid).


    As i said:

    He's 50 and has to work out for 4 months 6 hours a day to get his physique back which is damn hard work mentally and physically.
    I'd like to see BABs do half of that to see what he goes through.

    Then a demanding 6 months shoot that comes after the extremely exhausting work out.
    He'll be mentally and physically exhausted before the shoot begins

    Do you think it's an easy thing to do. You go do it when you're 50.

    He's also got a new child which he'll miss watching her her grow up.

    I'm feel sorry for DC and wish BABs selected someone new but she's obsessed with DC for some reason.

    It's going to be a tough time in his life making this film,don't you think ?

    The MI6 crew returning, yeah, that makes sense. But having Madeleine Swann in there again? What for? I don't want to be reminded of a bottom 5 Bond movie from 5 years ago when I see the next Bond movie.

    Really not pleased to see Seydoux return. Swann was forgettable, and the chemistry was lacking or left on the cutting room floor.

    Given that she is/was a career women in SP, maybe she will choose her career over being with Bond, and actually leave him as opposed to being killed off five seconds into the film.

    Monogamous like James and Tracy in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. One description says Bond's liaisons just firm up his resolve to return to the one he chose to love and marry.

    Or he'll do it for Queen and country, of course.

    I agree about Seydoux.
    She had no personality.

    I wonder how much the success of MI: Fallout influenced these folks. After all, they nicely tied up loose ends and resolved dangling love interests from previous films with that entry, and it was both critically and financially very successful (the most successful film in this genre since SP and a 'high' for that franchise). The Boyle departure occurred shortly after that film was released.

    My instincts say it certainly had some impact, at least in terms of them wanting to similarly tie up open relationships for the Craig era.

    Quite right. She isn't, and they would do well to remember that, or else they run the risk of further debasing things. Hopefully either he dumps her or she dumps him, rather than anything more predictably dramatic.

    All we need is Christoph Waltz as Blofeld, Dave Bautista as Hinx Jeffery Wright as Leiter and the gang's all here. All three have made noise about coming back for this on big finale.

    He will not have to train for 4 months. As has been discussed, Craig has a naturally lean physique that responds quickly to diet and exercise.

    Also, in this day and age people are going to have to reevaluate what it means to be 50 . People in their 50's are really the first generation to embrace regular exercise, diet, and supplementation.

    Sure making a Bond film is hard work but Daniel is more than up to the task.

    Not only does he not have to train for 4 months to get into shape but he akso doesn't need to spend 6 hours training. That's preposterous.

    DC isn't a machine. He's just like you or me.
    How do you know if he's up for the task ? It's a damn hard task that's for sure.
    He's 50, got a child, as i said so he'll miss watching.

    Do you work out ? I do and it's pretty demanding and i probably do 5% of what DC will be doing.

    Doesn't anyone think he is probably facing his toughest year of his life mentally and physically making b25 ?

    They threw out Boyle and Hodges's treatment, which was touted to be movie gold, and went back to the p&w 2017 treatment. They wasted almolst a whole year on Boyle. It's too late for a spectre sequel. I'm not interested in seeing Swann again we need new characters. This next one will probably be divisive and just a little bit better than spectre, I don't think craig has the same spark as he did in cr or Sf

    The sacking of Boyle was a very strange event.

    Does anybody know for sure why they sacked him ?

    Perhaps she'll be killed off early like in Bourne Supremacy. As far as the others, i don't mind them, since they're continuing the storyline. Just keep it limited

    This seems the most likely scenario to me. I doubt they will go with an all-repeat cast, which means another Bond girl.

    SP already did OHMSS, except for the ending. They could easily open B25 with Swann's murder, and move into YOLT territory (much as Hunt originally planned to do with OHMSS before Lazenby quit).

    Shatterhand is more than a rumor. It's in an industry publication. The safe money is on that title, and YOLT, and you know the rest...

    I think people are overreacting to this news. It's not encouraging that seydeux is returning. She was not memorable (nothing was in that film). Don't see why they can't bring her back in a silvia trench type capacity or kill her off in the beginning though. It is encouraging that there's no mention of Waltz. Reminder that spectre was awful, and that bond25 being tied to spectre and being good are mutually exclusive. I have confidence in Cary Fukunaga, but any connection to spectre will work against bond25. I would like to forget that film. Brining back fiennes, harris, and especially wishaw is good, but keep it limited.

    Very happy about Harris, Wishaw, and Fiennes. I'd love to get Wright back as Felix; still holding out hope for that. I don't mind Lea being in it because I think it most likely be brief. At the beginning, just finishing her character, or in flashback, something like that. If they go full OHMSS, I would be surprised. I certainly don't want a full OHMSS remake anyway. Maybe you all do; I would not want that at all.

    So no, I think they need a new name for the main Bond girl ... so Lea being confirmed is not giving me alarm bells. And I liked her in Spectre. I just want a new lead Bond girl and a new story, but that touches on Bond's past and has some connections, sure. I don't think as good a storyteller as Cary is would take a lazy approach and remake a film (especially his first Bond film) or copy Spectre so much either. Nope. But I can hear screams from fans who don't like Spectre, feeling that this will be just another Spectre. That doesn't make sense because of this particular director. I'm not worried.

    Also, I think Craig will be in fine shape, no problem. I don't mind his Bond looking older - he is, and there is an arc to his Bond. He'll look great, though. I have no doubts in that area.

    Lea ... never had the incredibly special relationship to Bond that Tracy or Vesper had. I cannot see a good writer and director like Cary turning her into Tracy. They can finish her character is a number of ways. No. I think there is another story that will be the heart of this film; we just don't know it yet. I am still trusting Cary to deliver a great story, as I know he can. It is intriguing, though.

    Nice to have real news? Yes.

    Don't know what people are complaining about, now that we have some rumours to discuss but everybody is on the edge or start comparing it with mi. I stated here that Rogue Nation was the one to rip off spectre after script was leaked they even pushed release date back 6 months. Blofeld is the only one who always survive but there is no excuse for mi, no Villian or actress ever repeated in that series and they already knew that Spectre and Blofeld will return. I am just happy that most of the cast are returning from SP as for seydoux she might be playing a villianous Character laying bond into some sort of trap. I have high faith on CF and other members that they will bring some fresh Characters and story as well.

    I’m happy to have Harris, Wishaw, and Fiennes back too. I also really hope Wright returns as Felix. Seydoux was the most interesting announcement. None of us really have any idea how she will be used though, or if Waltz/Blofeld (another actor?) will be returning too.

    Well, since you ask, yes I do work out, and have since I was 20, I'm now 55. I've raised my 21 year old daughter on my own since she was a month old. I am a professional Firefighter and I'm gone from home for 24 hours at a time every third day, including many holidays. Because I train and take care of myself I can still do my extremely difficult job with the same intensity that I had 25 years ago. I've also worked as a personal trainer and can evaluate a person's potential and capabilities fairly well.

    Daniel is more than up to the task of getting into shape in time for filming Bond 25; the truth is he isn't as out of shape as it may appear. I think he. and his director want a different look for the role In Knives Out, He may be holding a little extra weight but there are ways to make the body retain water, adding to the fuller appearance. that and makeup account for how he looks now.

    This picture is from a year and a half ago, I was 53, at 55 I'm in the same shape. I've have never taken any supplement that can't be purchased at a vitamin shop.
    50 aint what it use to be, ask Daniel ;)

    This was actually Craig three days after Skyfall finished filming when a journalist asked him if he was looking forward to playing James Bond again.

    This is what one looks like after taking a red eye (especially one from New York to London...or vice-versa). DC does it often...

    Remember when I told you Blofeld won’t return but Swann would? Could it be possible that I was right AGAIN? No, Bond 25 won’t be Spectre Part 2, and no, Swann won’t die in the movie.

    Don't know about Blofeld but i am guessing Swann isn't going to die in the beginning, she is playing some sort of villianous Character imo

    Guys, don´t you see a pattern emerging? Seydoux, Fiennes, Harris, Wishaw, isn´t there one name missing? Swann will take over Tanner´s job.

    Great to finally get some news, too bad it’s not anything exciting. I was looking forward to CF starting afresh with no ties and links to Spectre.
    SP and QOS are my two least favourite Craig movies and that’s mainly down to their ham-fisted attempt at continuity. Looks like they haven’t learned from these mistakes yet.
