    I still can see this film being a "Logan" type movie where the agent he "trains" saves him. Boyle will make it a fun ride, with a retro feel.

    I just want Bond to be at full strength, and not be injured or "too old" to finish the mission.

    Have him have the most brutal fight scene at the end, where he barely wins, looks at the young agent and say something like "welcome to MI6" or something like that. Don't make him look weak.

    For an older man, he's always seemed quite tapped into youth culture and that is reflected in his style of film making too. That's why I'm rather curious as to how he will reconcile that with the current state of affairs re: Bond.

    Whatever happens, this will be quite interesting.

    He’s a Manc, which, by default, makes him superior to 99% of humans. He’ll know what he’s doing.

    Could some of our more active Twitter users ask some of the folk attending if Bond was mentioned.
    Something like this? ;)

    Since eon is killing us with not giving us official news we have to believe in a random person named Charlotte

    She's going by what she's read on the internet in saying he is "confirmed." Nothing new here. But glad to see the gears are still running.

    "Cost a lot of money"

    Where do we think this leaves the small budget speculation, then? Is this a case of the film being a lot of money for Boyle but not Bond? A throwaway comment to get a small laugh from the students? Is Boyle's idea one which would inherently take a lot of money to realize (which is sort of the opposite of what was anticipated when he entered the mix)?

    The budgets of the last 5 Danny Boyle movies were:

    T2: Trainspotting - $18 million
    Steve Jobs - $30 million
    Trance - $20 million
    127 Hours - $18 milion
    Slumdog Millionaire - $15 million

    Anything above $50 million would be huge for a Danny Boyle movie, and anything below $125 would be VERY small for Bond.

    SPECTRE was one of the most expensive films ever made, so everything is relative.

    Hard to imagine. Just think of what a talented moviemaking team could have made of that. Pity indeed!

    Yes, that's just it. Hard to know what he considers a lot of money. It'll be interesting to see those comments in relation to whatever the final figure is.

    I believe Boyle's most expensive film was THE BEACH. Budget $50 million in 2000, roughly $70 million in 2017 dollars. RED SPARROW was made for about $70 million. I'd be stunned to see Eon go that low, but if they're aiming squarely at spy thriller it'd work.

    He's actually from Bury, which makes him superior to 99% of Mancunians.

    Anyone from Greater Manchester is a Manc.

    Add a few action setpieces and a number of big name salaries, and you´re easily at double the budget, without the main unit director having to worry about it too much.

    And do what? Doesn't really reflect well on the forum or the fan base if you call them up and press them for questions. There's also no way you'd be able to get anything out of them.

    Don't bother; I've tried a dozen times but he's incorrigible. There's really no other way to express "EON will make an announcement when the time is right" that'll get the point across further.

    They don't cave to rumors and gossip, and they won't release news just because fans want it - it'll come when the time comes. Until then, be patient.

    Fully agreed.

    I assumed that much when you put the lol at the end of your post.

    Whishaw indicated today that he felt that Boyle's style would be well suited to Craig.

    Do others feel that way? I haven't seen much of Boyle's work, but I wonder. He's avant-garde certainly, but seems better suited to someone younger.

    I had hoped it was, but that suggestion has been brought up seriously on numerous occasions.

    To be honest I'm not sure Boyle is suited for Bond.
