Eon aren’t that creative.
Yeah that would be great. Go it alone. Brave new world.
Exactly, the nature of the shoot. An almost endless list of variables comes into play when choosing the order of shooting locations; suitability, availability, weather conditions
( Norway) financial incentives and cast availability to name just a few.
There’s one element that I haven’t seen mentioned, Daniel’s conditioning. From all reports, he is training extremely hard for this film; he wants to come in, and go out in top shape. It is very common that when an actor is going to shoot scenes where their physique is on display to shoot those scenes at the start of production when they are generally in top shape. The rigorous shooting schedule makes it difficult to maintain the same level of conditioning for the duration of filming.
Two examples are Stallone and Jackman. In s interview Stallone said that the boxing sequences for Rocky Balboa were shot first because that’s when he would be in top shape. For one of the X Men films there was a sequence where Wolverine is nude, Jackman told the producers that it had to be shot on a specific day because there are reps that need to be taken to achieve the look they, and he wanted. At one point they tried to charge the date; he told the, change the date and I’m not doing the scene. Yes, this is extreme but it makes a point; actors don’t just roll out of bed and show up on set if the want to be in top shape.
It’s very likely that the Jamaica will have Bond on a beach, hopefully with an underwater action sequence, if so Craig’s going to be intop form.
This may be, along with the hurricane season, to shoot here early on.
Exactly :))
I agree to a point. Frivolous homages annoy me, but if you’re referring to ‘Jamaica’, it’s Bond’s spiritual home and long overdue an appearance.
I do agree with @PanchitoPistoles
The least enjoyable recent entries have all tried to ape the style of what has come before. SP was laden with "homages" and call-back's. For me, they are lazy.
I think it's time to be inventive and new. There is a reason why CR and SF were beloved. They were able to take the classic elements and remould them into a new and exciting narrative.
I don't want Bond 25 to dine out on elements we love from previous films made 50 years ago. What I want is a fantastic film that, hopefully, in 50 years people will reference as a benchmark to be met.
All good guesses. Bravo.
As I said earlier, the threat of tropical weather in June and July is minimal.
Look at June and July, then look at August and September

Casino Royale is an adaptation of a novel from 1952 if that isn’t aping the past I have no idea what is
Thanks, @talos7, didn't catch your post last time. Good info, thanks again.
But not much on this board does, anyway.

She has a suspiciously huge roll of film in that camera.
Taking pictures of the new Bond?
Precisely, it was an adaptation.
Neither CR or SF were all that groundbreaking as films. However, they found ways to be creative and fresh whilst servicing the absolute necessary ingredigents that makes this series distinct.
I'll let the great Roger Ebert sum it up for me:
"Casino Royale" has the answers to all my complaints about the 45-year-old James Bond series, and some I hadn't even thought of...This movie is new from the get-go. It could be your first Bond. In fact, it was the first Bond; it was Ian Fleming's first 007 novel, and he was still discovering who the character was.

I think your argument may have just been defeated @Risico007
SP was just DAD in prestige clothing. It was a nostalgia-fest.
Remember, the Bond films were the height of cool and innovative back in the 1960s. Why bother constantly congratulating yourself by harping on about those successes with overly frequent homages to what's come before.
Why can't we get a Bond film that is cool and innovative by 2019 standards?
It's the main reason why I'm so excited in Cary Fukunaga's appointment. He's a young, edgy filmmaker. Not someone steeped in tradition.
The last thing the series needs is to constantly self-congratulate itself, it needs to be new in order to ensure it remains around for another 50 years.
