They're going to have to basically start the marketing again months from now, we were so close to seeing it and now so far away.
However, I can see why they pushed it back so far because of the uncertainty of the coronoavirus, who knows how bad it will be in the coming months.
;)) :D
There is zero evidence the virus will be gone by November. If anything it will be worse due to temperatures cooling in the northern hemisphere.
Like I said, the best of a bad situation. If there's a possibility that other big franchise films get put back, then its better to get in first. There's competition whenever you release a film.
Either way, I am gutted.
SO
I say they should just start filming Bond 26 now.
I would much rather them do that then meddle with NTTD if it is indeed finished already.
I think movies generally have this pesky thing called pre-production :D
Yeah, true...but it can't be pesky with the same team. Maybe Barbara might see this as an opportunity of talking Craig into a 6th Bond film.
ok
I have thought about this SO here is my suggestion the bond fan community get together and develop the script... Personally I kind of want to create a thread for this if we could develop Bond 26 and Craig was signed on and it was a standalone mission that is not connected to the previous 5 Craig films.. what would we do?
it at least gives us something fun and exciting to talk about versus this dreary business.
Honestly I could see it being pushed even further. This virus is not going to be gone by November in any scenario.
Their were other circumstances yes but Eon was too slow between Spectre and where we are now.
Agreed.
It's a lose/lose for them either way now on marketing because of this. They either stop and pick it up again in a few months, essentially wasting the marketing that has come before since it'll have to start up again, or they press forward on it until November, spending even more money in doing so.
Money talks
They can still do a lot of things, for instance we didn't had a music video like Smith gave for SP or 2nd trailer, some behind the scenes footage.
It will be a great Bond film; I have no doubts about it. I have faith in Cary and Linus.
I will not be on here much. Just here and there to check on things, but that's it. I don't care to read about complaints, whining, and abuse of EON (especially Barbara). I support EON's decision.
And it does not matter to me (shocking!!) another delay, until November. It just doesn't. What has mattered to me all along is that it would be a great Bond film. The series deserve that; the fans deserve that; and Daniel deserves it as his final performance as Bond. And I believe this Bond film will stand on its own merits when released. November is the very best time for release of a Bond film for several reasons (far better than February, too). And something tells me we will all, universally, be ready for a great Bond film to give us a lift and provide us with a fantastic film that will cheer us and give us total satisfaction ... something we will need after weathering the previous months.
I have much to deal with right now, in my "real" life. I look forward to an immensely satisfying "reel" time with Bond in Daniel's last outing, this coming November. So yes, I applaud EON for having the courage to make this decision; I support it. And roll on, November! Here's looking at you, Mr. Bond. You'll be coming back into my life exactly when I need you most. Cheers! B-)
I disagree. My movie is more important, especially after a five year wait. I honestly couldn't care less about the virus.
Precisely right! This was a no win situation. EON, MGM and Universal have vastly more knowledge of critical impact issues than any fans or media. They made a very difficult informed decision. Also, enough with the “this film is cursed” crap. This postponement doesn’t have a damn thing to do with the films production. It’s a world wide virus. You can bet that every studio that has an expensive release opening scheduled for the next few months is wrestling with the exact same issues. Among those critical issues, is available IMAX dates etc, etc., etc.
