    MGM reported first-quarter earnings on May 11. On the conference call, nothing was mentioned about Bond 25.

    I'm starting to think that negotiations with a potential distributor haven't even started yet.

    All we know is that MGM CEO Gary Barber said he'd been in touch with all the studios. Who knows?

    I wonder if there are creative differences at play here. Some studios may want '3D' for more revenue/profits. What I'd do to be a fly on the wall in any discussions.

    I don t mind 3d Bond if it is done well. If the new studio starts making Young Bond however, I am out.

    On that note, here's some interesting idle speculation from The Guardian. This is somewhat along the lines of what some fear Disney may do, given their methods with Marvel and now SW.

    3D Bond is a pass from me, too; I don't prefer shelling out a few extra bucks to have a more miserable theater experience. I've only been blown away with 3D once, and that was in 'Avatar.'

    Back on topic can anyone tell me what EON can do without MGM? As it seems this time it's MGM dragging their feet Not EON (and not surprising since this is what MGM did last time causing a four year gap in between bond films)

    Apparently Barbara Broccoli and Sam Mendes have met with Tom Hiddleston...

    It is reported in the Daily Mail though, so approach with caution...

    Wait in the article it says Craig is contracted for one more!!!!

    My guess (and while this might annoy some fans keep in mind it's just a guess)

    Bond 25: basically it wraps up all the loose ends in spectre Blofeld is killed as is Swann Bond is 007 again and all is right with the world. While I would like a non one word title I wouldn't be opposed to calling the film simply Blofeld.

    Bond 26: first with Hiddleston and it's a fresh start maybe have Tom visit Swann's grave or Vespers grave to show its the same man but then move on.

    Take it with a grain of salt. I don't trust anything I read in the Daily Mail unless it is written by a man named Baz Bamigboye.

    @FoxRox My gut tells me we won't know for a while.

    The Bond 25 announcement will be held at the Corinthia Hotel in London on November 3rd, 2017, and will be live streamed across YouTube. I have an insider source.

    A sensible take on the situation.

    I personally think Bond is in limbo. Too costly not profitable enough to have distributors fighting at the door. Maybe creatively stalled.

    I dunno.

    My worries are that this is the case too. I was just thinking that they're going to disappoint some fans with the next Bond film. Opinion seems to be divided on whether they should carry on with Spectre, Blofeld and Swann or do something completely unrelated. Which ever way they go they'll disappoint those that want the other.

    I very much agree, and personnaly I think the solution is to go smaller not bigger. So many films get sequels not because they make the big bucks, but because they are modestly budgeted so don't need big money to be a success. Of course, this allows everyone involved a lot more creative freedom, if a little less scope. Bond films are already about 20 minutes too long in my opinion, so cutting the fat out, tightening up those set pieces can only have a positive outcome. Then, B25 could make 600 million and still be a smash hit. Remember when Casino Royale made that much and was considered a huge hit? That would probably be a flop by todays sky high standards. I mean, SPECTRE made close to 900 million worldwide and that is being considered disappointing by some. What madness is that?
