Agree on all your points.
I think a standalone for B25 directed by Villeneuve to see off the Craig era and then a Nolan Blofeld trilogy would do nicely. They won't do this though. If Craig is back Blofeld is back I'm afraid.
If they do do the Garden of Death now (as seems fairly inevitable) the thought just struck me could they do something with the Vesper interrogation tape? Just forget about Madeline and make Vesper Tracy for Craig's Blofeld?
Although I really don't have any faith in P&W to deliver something that isn't soap opera level melodrama.
It would probably best to stop digging, let Craig go and wipe the slate clean.
We are talking about EON here remember.
Eon is not competent enough to even make 1 film AND YOU WANT THEM TO MAKE TWO AT THE SAME TIME????
Well, we wouldn't want that, would we?
If there is a 2 year gap now,then its time for a fresh start,and to take the series on a new direction,back to how it used to be.
Get a good actor in,a good director,a good conductor,and commit to a brand new Bond adventure.
Oh and put Blofeld on ice for at least 2-3 films.

If this succeeds, I can't see Soderbergh going back to the old ways and directing a Bond film. Unless, EON are willing to consider this new model.
if Nolan is doing a trilogy Hardy could easily do it from b25 or b26 in a 7 year span
Have they been seen together?
I've seen Craig out at events on his own (including Omega) and EON reps (including Wilson) similarly, but that's about it.
Well, he was at the Barcelona bakery here today, with Babs and me :-D
Or, on the other hand, why not give a less known and younger man a chance.
A friend of mine spoke to Barbara around 4 weeks ago. She insisted that she wanted Craig back, but would not confirm (for obvious reasons) whether the deal had been done. In my opinion it had and the response was the only diplomatic one she could give.
EDIT: Do you think the distribution deal has been done?
I do, yeah. Finally.
@bondjames Hardy's doing 'Venom', shooting this autumn I think. Possibly more than one picture there. Plus a half a dozen other projects lined up, including a possible Mad Max sequel. His dance card's pretty full.
Are you in the movie business, @RC7? If you don't wish to answer here, you can message me.
Hardy is high profile, but as you suggest he changes his appearance and delivery quite a bit from role to role, and more importantly, he doesn't have any franchises to his name. There's Mad Max, but he was grunting from behind a face grill the whole time and are they even making another one? It's not like he's currently playing Superman or Captain Kirk.
I agree, but this new Venom thing along with the MM series may have sealed it in terms of ever getting Bond. Like with Cavill, I think the boat has passed.
Great! Looking forward to some exciting (rather than a tedious Brotherfeld/Swann continuation) announcement within the next six months.
I'm a TV Producer. I have colleagues and mates across TV/film/publishing so I often get trickle down. It's quite an incestuous business.
EDIT: Note - I should reiterate that doesn't mean it's always true. I only tend to mention stuff here if it appears legit. I've heard various things re.B25, a lot of which I haven't posted because, a) I don't want to compromise those I've heard from and b) because you tend to hear from more than one channel before you can start to treat it as a distinct possibility. Even movie people like to talk shit.
Channing Tatum was in Jimmy Kimmel Live. Not a word about Craig, but interesting things about the marketing campaign:
Ha ha. Let's just say there's a lot of dead wood.
No way?
Crazy, right?
Why didn't Dalton return for B17? Because he wasn't prepared to commit to a three movie contract.
If Craig returns after such a long break I am fairly sure EON will want him to commit to at least 2 more films otherwise they will decide to recast.
So if he's coming back it will be for more than one film.
It was the same DAD-CR.
