While not the “tent pole” movie that NTTD is, if more movies go this route things could get very interesting. Especially since some states are delaying mass gatherings until the fall.
I would happily pay the same. Especially now for premium content
I would not expect so but with the current WHO predictions I expect NTTD not to appear in cinema perhaps the second half of 2021
The only other option is to delay the film again until Spring 2021, meaning it would have been held back for over 12 months! But then your up against a possible 3rd wave, resulting in yet another lock-down situation. There is no easy solution.
Unless they cut their loses and look for a direct-to-tv / streaming services and charge a premium for it?
But my money is on them sticking to November.
How much to have it NOW? I'll sacrifice your grandparents (mine are already dead) and someone else's first-born.
Only kidding, of course. Dark humor perhaps, but that's about the only kind I can muster these days. This is a moot conversation even before we've started it. EON would lose money by the bucketful if they were to release it initially through the internet or in any other way than through the theaters. So that's just not going to happen. As things stand, the film industry is going to be on shaky legs for a year at least once the theaters DO re-open, and a tent-pole film like the newest Bond release will probably be crucial to getting folks back into the theaters. I suppose I'm just an odd duck: there's plenty of other stuff available to watch & read & listen to right now. I'll catch up on that stuff now & be patient enough to see NTTD when it is theatrically released. I'll pay the going rate at that time & pick up on the home disc at the cheapest rate available when that comes around. It's what I consider getting back to normal. I'm not expecting it to happen soon, but I do intend to be here when it does happen.
It would be an interesting idea, but it would have to generate something like 20x more than the largest Kickstarter ever for EON to even pay attention to it I'd think. :P
I’d like to say the same but I know, if they released it now for more I’d probably pay it. I’d never be able to justify it to anyone I know, but yeah, I’d pay a lot to see it now.
My grandparents were already dead before i was born and i am not married yet so no kids :P
Although, i am in the same camp, even if they release it for 60th anniversary i would be fine with it. EON won't release this film on vod or in theatre anytime soon, even if thing's start going back to normal near November, it's better to wait for people to get out more before they are sure to release it. Another big thing they might be considering, is how winter is going to play out, imagine if they release it in November and we have a 2nd wave at that point, sorry to say this but by now i am sure this film is not coming out in 2020. The best we can hope is April 2021.
Hahaha- nice. At least you are honest with yourself
I wouldn't.
Me neither.
Nor I.
Problem is, all production has been halted. Even if they had everything crackin' and ready to go, they couldn't start many pre-production steps. I have friends in the film business, and they say that even if everything went back to normal, the industry wouldn't open back up immediately for insurance reasons.
They can write a script and look at possible actors and venues to film so that they know what they want and when.
Definitely the least they could do is start working on a new script I would think.
That would be great. I wish Eon had a team writing Bond scripts for future movies like they used to.
However I think they'll give it a couple years after NTTD is released before contemplating what to do with Bond next.
That would not very professional by EON, they can develop various script in various directions in these times, it would offer them less time when they decide to go forward with the next 007.
One can only hope that the next actor will be able to do 1 movie each 2/3 years.
