    “So I think the exciting part actually is going to the original source, and being able to play in a sandbox.”

    Yes, please! Exactly.

    Very good news.

    I'm liking this fella, so far.

    And refusing to choose a favourite Bond. How refreshing is that? Off the publicity diplomatic bandwagon and into the smart efficient bullitt train. Just listen to the guy talk, he really comes off as someone who knows exactly what he's doing. Finally!

    A positive thing I noticed about Fukunaga is that he's not trying to "subvert" the character, but the genre. That's how you modernize an intellectual property. Not retelling the same story and readjusting the characters to your liking and narrative. Best of luck to him.

    I entirely agree with both @ClarkDevlin and @Univex on Fukunaga's recent remarks. I'm so glad we've got this guy on-board for B25.

    He's busy starring in his own video mobile game.

    Cary's words really tease that he is going to deliver a bond film unlike any other March can't come any sooner!

    Here's an extensive behind the scenes video of the omega ad.

    He is a very bright, educated and worldly chap, who's done a lot in life. Very Bondish in fact. Ironically, he was a surfer dude at one point, so perhaps he could redeem the series lowpoint with an aquatic sequence worthy of this illustrious franchise.

    I really hope we get a full version of this ad. The one they released barely had Daniel Craig in it, if at all.

    Craig's not in the pool much though. From the ad you can see he is just lowered in for the photos.

    That would be awesome. I'm hoping for more aquatic action! We've just got a little over 4 months to wait until production begins!

    This reminds me of the type of scenario when one goes to see their favorite band in concert. Usually there is an opening act that plays a set for about an hour or so before the main attraction. If that band sucks it's like torture as you're waiting for your heroes to take the stage and start playing your favorite songs.

    Following the progress on the KNIVES OUT production is like waiting for that opening act to finish so we can get to the real reason we're here, BOND 25.

    I wouldn't mind the cast if Knifes Out for B25 actually with Michael Shannon as the villain.

    He could jump from one film to another. Id love him as a villain in B25

    Four. Craig vs. Shannon in Bond 25 would likely be awesome.

    I took it to mean that Layton didn't want to come in halfway through the development stage on someone else's film - it's no fun batting clean-up if you take yourself seriously as a director (rather than a 'journeyman').

    Here again, I may be biased by my concern and frustration that EON wrong-footed themselves by waiting too long on starting development, pinning down a director, and etc. When the development finally started and they lost Boyle they were then scrambling and whoever we end up with isn't the first choice and hasn't had a proper run-up.

    Perhaps those directors should try and find pride in directing from an existant script. Isn't that part of every director's professional education? Doesn't mean they can't give the project their own stamp.

    I'd say we're about 2/3rds in agreement. I mean, it's Bond after all - it's become bigger than the sum of its parts, and I'd think any director should be honoured to be part of it.

    On the other hand, all of us in our professional lives can relate to the idea that jumping into someone else's project mid-stream is fraught. I don't often like doing it. Add in the artist temperament and a 9-figure budget and it's not too surprising that some directors would balk.

    Fianlly, and once again, I think my remaining 1/3rd of the responsibility lies not with the directors but with EON. I know we're tired of hearing Marvel mentioned here, but they seem like they're more adept at having the rough outline in place, approaching directors well in advance with budget, cast, and outline, and then staying flexible enough to accommodate changes as needed. I just can't help but feel that if EON were serious about securing Layton (or anyone else, for that matter) they should have approached him with a serious, committed offer.
