    Yes, I believe a few over enthusiastic Craig fans take what Barbara and Micheal said at the SPECTRE premiere a little too seriously. Of course they're gonna say they will do everything to get him back. These are the kinds of platitudes we should take for granted. It's not like they were at the premiere for Die Another Day, dropping all sorts of hints about how they wanted someone else in the role. That's just not professional.

    We except that 90% of what comes out of Barbara and Micheal's mouth at these red carpet events is producer speak, purposefully designed to be uncontroversial, but then when they mention they will do anything to keep Craig, we gobble it up. Remember, they are just coming up with things to say that reassure people that the franchise is stable and everything is going swimmingly. If they were thinking about replacing their lead actor, they certainly wouldn't allude to it at one of these events, years before the process has begun.

    Some fans also say they've got a crew and cast all ready to go and everything will roll out as soon as MGM signs a distribution deal.

    Even EON aren't that sneaky.

    (The Aston stunt wasn t bad either)

    Nah sorry that's just a car roll. They were doing that in the A Team in the 80s. 'But it was a world record!!' I hear you all say; so was the explosion in SP and it was shite. Just drive fast enough, use a powerful enough air cannon and make sure your roll cage is strong enough. Anyone could do it. I'm not a big fan of a stunt where the stuntman is just a passenger.

    The TLD cargo net didn't break any records but it's still one of the best stunts of all time - and no trickery @Getafix!! Watch as BJ Worth nearly gets splattered against the tail after Lombard falls off. Stunning stuff with genuine risk of life and limb, far more than the ski jump.

    I noticed that. A few inches forward and his face would have been smashed to pieces.

    Worth used his hidden backup chute at the last possible moment so he didn't get injured According to him it was the only time they used the hidden chutes.

    I'm struggling to think of a better stunt actually.

    TSWLM ski jump? A case can be made.

    Indy dragged behind the truck? Well this is basically the same stunt but with a plane.

    Opening sequence of Police Story hanging off the bus with an umbrella? Again a similar stunt but the stakes raised by doing it out the back of a plane.

    Crew and cast all ready to go? A few hundred people twisting their thumbs and foregoing their daily income? Apart from some of the actors, I believe most of those people don´t have it that easy to pay their rent.

    I know. I agree.

    But I've seen fans post on message boards like this one that "Eon's just keeping things quiet because of the Sony hacks."

    In real life, Eon doesn't spend its money. It spends other people's money (i.e. studios). Until there's a distribution deal, not a whole lot can happen.

    Nope. They did this with SF as well. Once the film is well past its theatrical and home release, there's simply no need to promote it anymore. If you've noticed, the SPECTRE section has been taken off 007.com as well. Doesn't mean anything.

    Barbara is 90% sure when the next film will release, its plot & who the lead is. Craig probably knows for certain whether he is doing another or not. I think he will do it if its on par at the minimum with at least Skyfall. He wont do another Spectre, & this is coming from a Spectre fan

    Short answer: No.

    Remember all the fuss when the helicopter was purchased? (However many pages ago that was in this thread)

    Agree the TLD cargo plane sequence is hard to beat. The fight outside the plane at the end of OP is pretty good.

    I've always enjoyed the harpoon gun, water-skiing and plane sequence in LTK as well. Daft but entertaining. Perhaps not in the same league as the others.

    I'm not all that hung up on massive action for Bond - although that had its place. It's more about the style in which the action is done. Bond's improvisation, bravado or cunning.

    In TLD he cuts his boot off. It probably wouldn't past muster these days, but the improvised aspect lends it a realism that heightens the tension in my opinion. He's fighting for his life and does what's necessary to win. No superhero antics. It's stuff like that which makes Bond different and human. I suppose throwing the electric heater into the bathtub in GF is similar. Nasty, dirty deaths, but Bond getting the job done.

    Based on time just passing by I would say its becoming more unlikely by the month

    Will you stop with that bullshit? What do we know about Bond 25's release date and whether or not Craig is coming back? Nothing. So stop assuming you have any information about Craig's development. We have no confirmation/evidence he will be in the film, but we don't have any confirmation/evidence that he won't be back as Bond. Why don't you assume he already committed to doing Bond 25, and EON is waiting for a distributor to be chosen before announcing anything?

    What an interesting response to a valid opinion; I think it's safe to say that the longer the gap until the next film, the more likely it is that Craig will not return..

    How does anyone here know the gap is getting longer? Bond 25 was never going to be released in 2017 anyway. If a November 2018 release were to happen, all information concerning the film would be announced in December 2017 at the latest. Unless I am wrong, we are currently in June 2017. How can anyone affirm with 100% certainty that no info on B25 will be given before this year is over? Similarly, for all we know EON and Craig are committed to a Nov 2019 release.

    At this point it's all good natured fan speculation.

    And they shouldn't, because based on the minimal info we have on Bond 25, they cancel each other out. Bond 25 coming out in 2018, 2019 or 2020 is as likely as it is unlikely, as we have no facts or evidence to confirm or rule out any release year.
