    Never seen anything by Fuckunaga, but he sounds like a better choice than Boyle.

    It has to be set in London since we've not seen that in a long time!

    I see what you did there! :))

    Having worked with both Craig and Fukunaga wouldn't hurt her chances, that's for sure.
    Catch Me If You Can & Iron Man 2 both had some pretty stylish suits and clothes so I'm open to her. It's a good point about the costume designer, because we know Temime is out (thank goodness as far as I'm concerned). I'm looking forward to the announcement of who gets this gig.

    Have only watched Catch Me If You Can of these two, but I agree that the costumes in that film were really good.

    Personally, I'd love for them to get Louise Frogley back for the costume designing duties.

    It's a very stylish film.

    She'd be great. I like Lindy Hemming's work on Bond too.

    we only lost three mos due to the Boyle debacle, so I guess that's something. Valentine's Day, 2020. Interesting release date- I cannot recall when an 007 wasn't released in Nov/Dec.

    LTK was the last one. That was released in summer 1989.

    Bond has never been released in the first four months of the year.

    I think the February release date is a misstep, but we'll see.

    So a five year. That’s terrible.

    A technicality that doesn't amount to much difference in reality.

    It is sad. As @Remington said earlier, we will only have had 2 Bond films in the 10's. It will be remembered as the Mendes decade as much as the 80's were known as the Glen decade I suppose.

    It's a very stylish film.

    Indeed! Need to watch it again sometime.

    Craig will still be 51 when it comes out.
  • There's a serious chance that with Fukunga at the helm that this film will turn round the narrative very quickly.

    In fact, the general consensus on Twitter and in the film blogshere is that Fukunga is a far better and more exciting choice than Boyle ever was. He's a seriously exciting helmer.

    I feel with Fukunga, we are getting an A-list director who will bring a Denis Villeneueve element of class and sophistication to proceedings. I expect Bond 25 to have some serious art-house credentials and be very much in the mould of Blade Runner 2049. Which i'd far prefer to the ADHD version, Boyle would have made.

    Also, With Fukunga, I'd expect as many glossy magazine shoots and profiles as Daniel Craig is expected to get in 2020.

    The dude smoulders.

    Also, in their article Variety mentioned that the director of Showtime's Patrick Melrose (with Benedict Cumberbatch) was also in consideration.

    "Tim you can't come back after five years and just do one". My, how times have changed.
  • Haha, great post @Pierce2Daniel.

    Agree with it all. Especially the part about the narrative turning quickly. You'd have to stretch very, very far to crap on this choice. I'm more excited today than I've been at any point in B25's cycle -- including Boyle's announcement.

    RE: Fukunaga's style and the 'profiles' you mentioned. He strikes me as...modern Terence Young.

    I don t think Fukunaga being American is a big deal. I think it is more significant that he is the first director born in the 70s, during the Moore era.

    I didn't realize before that all the previous directors have been older. Nice catch.

    We'e gone from six movies (four of which are among the best in the franchise) in a decade to two (and one of them is terrible).

    I truly wonder when Bond 26 will be released.

    Ha ha. I suppose we can expect another cameo then. Flashback dream sequence anybody? Hopefully not a wet one.

    A Feb 2020 release date, does this mean they're less concerned with chasing awards buzz this time around?

    Not that it can't/wont happen, but Oct/Nov is fair more awards friendly.

    The one thing about this delay that does bother me is it continues the downward trend of diminishing Bonds per decade.


    The 2010's is now officially the first decade since the franchise began in which only two Bond films were produced.


    1960's: 6 films (+ CR67)

    1970's: 5 films

    1980's: 5 films (+NSNA)

    1990's: 3 films

    2000's: 3 films

    2010's : 2 films

    2020's: 1 film (?)

    2030's: 0 films (?)

    2040's: Bond makes a comeback after 20 years in a similar vein to INDY 4 as Mickey G celebrates his 100th birthday. Craig returns for his 6th outing at the age of 74.


    Joking aside, I do hope B25 is a critical and financial success to the point it gives Universal and MGM that needed jump start to get the series back on track with a regular 2-3 year time-frame.

    aha. and I despise that movie. well, at least we know it's a done deal and finally moving forward. How EON can move at such a glacial pace when Star Wars movies get cranked every month or so (seemingly) is beyond me. So all I need is:

    1) another cool Aston
    2) a huge theme song with some Barry brass for a change, not a simpering ballad.

    Not five?

    Of course. DN-TB and OHMSS. The second half of YOLT keeps it from being one of the best.

    If I were to guess, I'd say the impetus for the date is financial. It will allow MGM to meet its numbers still since their fiscal year end is December 31.

    My thoughts exactly. Three a decade like the 90s and 00s was the one saving grace of a 2019 release. Oh well. Just a few months delay.

    I think Universal will definitely be looking at every 2-3 years after B25 and Craig are finished.

    They don't wait around .
  • I find it amusing that EON felt the need to include the guy's middle name in their press release. How many other people named Cary Fukunaga are in the Director's Guild?
