Seriously. There's no "pushing back" something that was never anything to begin with. Ugh. People sometimes....
I did an informal Internet survey on Facebook and five fans out of 19 voted for 2017. Moreover, these are long-time fans who are familiar with series and its history. I think it's more out of hope.
We were in a similar situation with SPECTRE. There were absolutely no signs in the first half of 2013 that it could be ready for a 2014 release. It became official in July 2013.
Unsure who "they" are though ...hope just producers not the lame writers.
Yes, new writers definitely are needed. Not that it wasn't evident before, but Spectre certainly clinched it.

Yeah, this is the quietest, dullest time to be a Bond fan. We're on the back end of the latest film and book.
In May, the new Young Bond book will be out though I think. I have to say though, for me, the time between QOS and SF and SF and SP went pretty damn fast. As I get older, I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. Probably the latter, but good in terms of Bond movie releases. :)
I presumed it was always 2018. There's always 3 years or more between the Bond films these days, with the exception of the two years between CR and QOS. They made up for that though by having a 4 year gap between QOS and SF. :)
It's a great time to be a Bond fan.
All the chatter we have had were from either DM or the Sun. They will start shooting, IF DC is involved, by the end of 17 and by then, the Mini Series will be done.Its no Quantum Physics to figure that out.
With a new actor, it might be 2019.
ANYONE who thought it was M who gave orders to James Bond may need to reconsider: it is apparently 007’s wife.
The actress Rachel Weisz will have a big influence on whether her husband, Daniel Craig, continues in the role because she is concerned about the physical toll that playing the character takes on his body, according to a close friend of the couple.
There were suggestions last week that Craig would abandon the role in favour of Purity, a 20-part television series. However, MGM, which distributes the Bond films, is reported to be willing to delay the next movie by a year to keep him.
Craig, 47, has incurred several injuries during the making of his four Bond movies and has spent months away from his family. Sources say he is keen to do another Bond film but Weisz, who married him in 2011, is less keen.
“Bond is in his blood but he’s had so many injuries and has ongoing chronic pains, which Rachel is seriously worried about, and she doesn’t want him to pile on more injuries,” according to a source. “She just wants him to turn the page, even though he loves the challenge and the dare.”
Craig himself has previously said: “I hurt myself every day. I’ve had my right shoulder reconstructed, my knees operated on and my thumb hurts.”
On Spectre, the latest Bond film, he required a knee operation after suffering an injury filming a fight scene with the villain Mr Hinx.
Part of the risk is that Craig insists on doing many of the stunts himself.
Gary Powell, chief stunt co-ordinator, said: “I don’t have to prepare Daniel for the stunts. He comes in ready and knows what he’s got to do. We go through the ideas together but mentally he comes in strong — that’s just his character.
“He’s confident of his abilities, which he has every right to be because he’s a bloody good actor. There’s no ego there. He’ll say, ‘I can do this, and let the stunt person do that’. He does all his car chases — he’s a very good driver. He’s more than capable of doing everything, all his own stunts. It’s just a logistical thing.
“If he’s not doing a stunt, it’s not because he can’t, it’s because he’s busy on the main unit. That’s the reason we have doubles for him, because he can’t be everywhere at once within the time we have to shoot the film.”
The source said that Weisz, whose film credits include The Mummy and The Constant Gardener, had not asked Craig to rule out doing another Bond, but had pointed out how difficult it was for him to be away from the family for up to six months and for her to watch him suffering injuries.
According to the source, Craig has taken his wife’s anxiety into account, which is why he is trying to work around the decision and is still undecided. “Daniel will ultimately do what is best for his marriage, that’s the reality, but he wants to do another Bond,” the source said. “It could go either way.”

Not quite. There, he also insisted of doing as much as possible, despite having stunt men around.
Like I said before,IMO he should stop now and let others worry about these things.
I think, he has given Bond all there is and visa versa.
I'm not saying Craig shouldn't be 100% devoid of stunt work but his work on CR was the least stunt work he's done out of his 4 movies. When QoS came around he was pretty vocal about how much more stunts he was doing himself. The man is pushing 50, he isn't Tom Cruise fit, he needs to go back to roughly the amount of stunt work he was doing for CR and let the professionals take the more serious stuff. If the scripts/story is great then there's no need for him to leave if he's still interested. The compromise would simply be him taking a little step back from his own thrill seeking and thus saving himself further injury.
Better get used to it: it seems to be the norm now in franchises. I can't say I'm a fan either.
Could well be, that he feels this scenario is half-arsed, like it was already in a way for Spectre ater the injury. I think, people would be quite happy having less action but a real great thriller. Just doubt, they can deliver that. Sadly. For a reason, they have all the money in the world, but can't seem to get a great, logical script. Even SF was a wonderful execution of a rather plot holy script. I wonder why that is. For me, it was only DC, that saved the films from being a failure. The way he acts it out, even the dullest lines become somewhat interesting.
