My guess is they are still negotiating with Waltz, or in the process of recasting Blofeld.
I will refrain from commenting further because I don't want to spread negativity. At this point, I'm only hoping the story won't be a cliche about death and revenge.
Uhm dude you said neither would return multiple times......
But whatever
As for the news I am fine with it
If this turns out to be the case, my expectations for bond25 will sharply decline. Haven't learned from their mistakes indeed.
It most likely will be, let's be honest.
People were pretty pleased when Boyle was announced to direct Bond 25. Then they soured on him.
It wouldn't surprise me if people sour on Fukunaga. The guy is heralded as some kind of saviour, but he can pose for as many photoshoots looking stern and moody all he likes, it doesn't convince me he has the goods.
Mendes was a pretty unique case of a somewhat prestige filmmaker coming in, and being willing to work on a vision with EON together. There was a unity there, which can be seen in SF. That unique circumstance will be harder to replicate than people realise. For every time something like that comes off, there's 10 times when it doesn't.
Despite all the time that has past, this film feels more like a hail Mary than some meticulously planned conclusion to the Craig story arc.
Fukunaga doesn't seem like a saviour to me, but more of a safer choice than the other kitchen sink drama directors Eon was going for. His work on True Detective was very good, however, so I was assured he'd at least deliver competent work. With this Madeleine revelation, I'm no longer sure that'd be the case.
Still, I won't cast the first stone without seeing anything just yet. I'll judge when I see the final product. So, we're over two years away.
Yes, that's about as positive as we can be right now. At least we're not certain it will suck yet.
At the press conference?
Good way to get publicity lol.
My friends can't even remember Vesper after having seen CR multiple times over the years.
Although I'm not going to shoot down those so sceptical that this a terrible move as they have foundation due to the utter clust f*%k SPECTRE was.
Though I do attribute alot of why that film was so bad to Mendes, he appears to have rubbed actors up the wrong way including DC and also he's no screenwriter yet was colloborating with Logan on the original idea.
Cary is and a fine director. The return of Swann does kind of suggest that ESB could very well be returning either with Waltz playing him or a recast.
Maybe the best option was decided that rather from running away from the problem was to confront and try to put it right.
Continue the story but leave out the stuff that clearly didn't work. I've no idea how Swann is returning or what capacity she will figure in the script.
Though rather than dismiss it all I'm going to wait and see if any other casting points towards where this might be going, surely they need to get Jeffrey Wright back as for me the best cinematic Leiter of the series?
I will say my enthusiasum that returned with CF's appointment has taken a knock but I'm yet to resign to this all being the worst thing they could have done until more casting has been revealed.
To be honest I hope casting is the only thing loudmouth Baz and his tabloid friends are going to ruin for us this time round, I certainly don't want the kind of leaks we got last time round.
Would be nice to watch it on the screen Febuary 14th 2020 knowing very little of the story thanks.
They should resign, those producers.
I'm fairly sure Swann will bite the dust early on. Probably in the PTS. And then it's a YOLT based on the book.
@peter is the guy at the back in the trenchcoat with his collars up high, keeping an eye on the mustache'd man so he doesn't attempt something embarrassing. Again.
Hmm, you don't sound like someone who doesn't want to know all about the new film prior to its release.
You have your rant about SP and Mendes, make your own suggestions about what you do and don't want, then accuse Baz of being a loudmouth for making an announcement about the casting...which is the usual sort of news we expect from any highly anticipated film.
You are correct. And I bet you're just dying to know what I'm wearing under that trenchcoat, @CraigMooreOHMSS ...
Still no news. Bond 25 is doomed and Barbara and Michael must be replaced.
When are we getting news?
Bond 25 is doomed. Barbara and Michael must be replaced and Bond will not be seen again for many years.
Within a week...
Possible DOP
Possible location in Norway
Possible return of Seydoux
Possible return of Feinnes
Possible return of Harris
Possible return of Whishaw.
Patience is a virtue. You just have to be patient.
Personally I’m not unhappy to learn that Lea Seydoux might be coming back. Didn’t mind her in SP.
A new director means a new take on things. I’m willing to wait and see what happens.
I’m just glad Mendes isn’t back. Wasn’t extactic about his return after SF.
Nice to see some Bond 25 news. Hopefully it will whet a few appetites.
