Welcome to the forum, @ertert. And I think your observations are spot on.
I also love your optimistic tone— never lose it!
Thanks! I'm not one for baseless speculation, so going by the concrete facts, we have no clear evidence that Bond 25 is anything but full steam ahead.
- They filmed in Norway last week
- Craig is or was recently in London (not sure if I trust those pictures saying he is back in NYC)
- Proven insiders on this forum with friends on the production have reported that things are proceeding smoothly (this is the best evidence we have).
As far as I know there is no other concrete info besides that . So I don't think there's any reason to worry.
I don't think relying on prior films' schedules is accurate because it's been several years since then and the Sony hacks probably changed everything.
All I'm expecting is that sometime between now and August or so there will be some kind of announcement. Possibly later rather than sooner because of the massive hype around other movies/shows I mentioned in my last post.
Anyway, who's looking forward to the P-Conf?
That actually induced a migraine.
You mean the pressy confy thingy?
Cormer would have been good for the MI6 agent role. Another choice of mine is Perdita Weeks but perhaps the role is too close to Juliet Higgins in the Magnum reboot.
The pressie should indeed be comfy!
"Wicked story bruv, swear down."
Our next Bond? :-D
Brilliant!
He'll also sing the theme. That'll save having to get someone else in to sing it. ;)
Let’s just simplify things down to PC. Just don’t mix it up with CP...
Who is this really?
Crystal Palace?
Love a presse.
UK singer Dappy, he was in N-Dubz. And now I feel embarrassed admitting I know that.
Never heard of Dappy nor N-Dubz. Probably not my kind of music anyway!
Ouch!
Indeed-y.
On the topic of music; does it look like this Lipa will sing the next theme, or was it just the typical rumours?
Your guess is as good as ours atm @Torgeirtrap so you can believe whatever you like :)
Alright! :-)
Then…
But I will say that any suggestion of a title performer having already been selected and signed at this point in the timeline—based on pretty much every modern-era Bond film's precedent—is a pretty shaky claim.
It's simply too early to have that locked, I think.
Certainly any suggestion that she's shooting a video in Italy this summer is, I think, ridiculous. Even *if* a performer were selected early, the chances of a finished song existing then (to set a video to) would be virtually zero.
On top of that the first rumors of her being choosen are from june/july 2018, which is really unrealistic.
I think a lot of the tabloids are still clinging to that.
Bond's going to Norway, so why not nab a Norwegian artist like Susanne Sundfør, whose music can sound intense, bright and dark at the same time, and has orchestral elements integrated in some tracks.
She's even better live!
