It doesn´t matter much if it is traditional or avantgarde, as long as the film as such is so tight that people don´t have the time to overanalize. Of course it can be very cool to have a slow pace as in SF, but then if you put in plotholes or lame jokes, they all the more stand out. The Connery-Moore era had loads of bad jokes and plotholes, but they didn´t give the space at all to think too much about it.

Both in one film is possible, as Mad Max Fury Road aptly demonstrated.
Indeed. What is even the point of that question? Seems pretty vague. The MeToo topic appears to be incorrectly linked to Bond, and without much thought having gone into the matter.
I read this article yesterday. They do get that Bond is a different beast than other films however they seem to miss on how much Boyle seems to understand Bond. I appreciate the views and expectations conveyed on this website more than most news outlets. I think Boyle will do a great job incorporating his style into the already established understainding of a Bond film and not just making a Danny Boyle movie which happens to feature Bond.
Clickbaity headline. Reading that article, he could just as well have written "may be good news for 007 fans".
The only reason that particular bit keeps me cautious is because I recall Mendes mentioning several times his love of the novels and how he had read them numerous times, and I wasn't remotely crazy about what he delivered. I'm more optimistic with Boyle in the chair, but we'll see.
I agree with a lot of it. Not sure if on the long run it's such a great idea to have a renown filmmaker. I would like Bond to go back to genre directors in the future.
Indeed. It's ridicolous when you think that Bond 25 is still 1.6+ years far.
We already have Bond women for the 21st century. Camille and Madeleine were their own women. Strong. decisive. Madeleine saved Bond's life in the train car. Vesper, too, was a strong female character who saved Bond's life...and wasn't afraid to bite back at him (though the stairwell fight did demonstrate her vulnerabilities, which wasn't a bad thing).

An interesting read from THR.
And a new quote from Boyle:
For Boyle, this level of scrutiny on a project in development is new, he told The Hollywood Reporter Thursday in New York.
"Normally, nobody is ever interested in that process, but because it’s a big franchise people are interested. And because it’s Daniel’s last one, people are double interested," Boyle told THR at the FX All-Star party. "And he’s done great work in it. So we hope we don’t let them down if it happens."
My point is that anyone who thinks that today's Bond girls aren't PC/reflection of the times is sadly mistaken.
But you care enough to log on to a Bond forum to share that.
Sure if that is allowed or does one have to be a Craig fan to being allowed on this site?
I had hopes that EON would mess up and the Craig era would pass into the night with a whisper. Unless you like Mendes record explosion. ;)
50+ years of fandom. Not everyone can be pleased.
At least we reportedly have a new writer and director. That should go some way towards freshening it up. For those anxiously awaiting a younger Bond and a completely fresh take, it will come too, eventually.
