    It's the best of all the Bond send-offs to me compared to a Connery camp cruise ship,Lazenby's that wasnt designed to be a send-off,Moore being a dirty old sod,Daltons' winking fish,and Brosnans diamonds with a yankee Jinx...

    Yes, its a respectable ending. Not embarrassing like some of the others.

    I find it embarrassing. It uses the Bond theme without having earned it, if that makes sense. Granted, the others are seven shades of... but it makes me cringe.

    If Craig does comeback I'm pretty sure it's gonna continue the blofeld story. They left him alive for a reason

    I'm just not sure what is to be gained from spending another 3 years and 200 million dollars to repair the damage. As they go along, the tenures of Bond get tired - it's a fact. I don't see where all this creative energy is going to come from all of a sudden. If they are truly going to meddle with things and present us with something different, it makes now a natural juncture to start thinking about a new actor. We'll have to wait and see what EON themselves think of all this. No doubt they have something in the pipeline by now.

    I actually think the 'story-arc' has damaged Dan's tenure as Bond now...if he just did stand-alone or ,like Connery,involved SPECTRE but in individual missions then he could easily have hit Moore's 7 films.

    It's come back to bite them,they took it too far..it should have stopped with CR-QOS....SF is fine as i see it as stand-alone,and i think it was made that way originally.

    SP has really taken the 'arc' too far,and people are now getting bored...Bond is NOT a soap-opera,he is a British agent who gives us something positive on the screen in the bad world we really live in.

    I'm totally with you. That's why I believe Craig is done. He's a smart enough guy to know when it's time to move on, even if his fanbase won't take it well.

    If he chooses to come back, it will be for something worthwhile, but the writing's on the wall (as Smith's cracker noted).

    Agreed..this is also on the 'In Search of James Bond' thread....so we dont re-rail this one...again.

    I get where you're coming from, but the 'damage' your talking about is magnified on here. The general public don't give a ****. If a Craig film is released it's still a draw. We fawn over the minutiae in a way the general public simply don't. They don't care about Blofeld in the way we do and they won't notice if Swann is a footnote. The ability to end an actors tenure with aplomb has never been so possible.

    This is a late April Fool's joke no?

    Guys? Bullocks? Yes or no please.

    If it is true, then I'm convinced Daniel Craig will stay. He would love to work together with the Nolan bros.

    Nolan deserves a crack as much as anyone. I'd be happy to see him have a shot at it.

    At the very least the films would look amazing.

    True. The distance shot from the sky of Manhattan ablaze in TDKR as an example is stunning, and so real compared to the fake looking rubbish in most of the other blockbusters these days.

    They would, although in all honesty I don't think he's made a film with cinematography to match Deakins' SF.

    Has Wally Pfister retired? Great cinematographer imho.

    Not retired but moved on to be a director.

    Ok, thanks. That explains it. I wondered why Nolan was using Hoyte these days.

    So we think the Nolan talk is baseless?

    Who would have posted it on IMDB then?

    If Nolan were involved I'd assume a new Bond and perhaps multi film arc?

    Exactly. Lots of people with a complete inability to rationalise, read or apply context.

    As an aside, what if Eon & Co. decided to bring another classic villain back (afterall, everything started over with 2006's Casino Royale). What if we got Dr. No 2.0 (played by an Asian actor)? Goldfinger 2.0? Scaramanga 2.0? Largo 3.0?

    Won't happen. This is why EON, despite the flak, are still the only company capable of maintaining the series. Hire Disney, as some are clamouring for, and Goldfinger's your next villain, Nik Nak your next spin off. No thanks.

    Haha. No. Whoever put the B25 credit on Syncopy's page was either trolling or leaked an information that was not supposed to leak yet, so it's only natural imdb removed it. None of this changes the fact that it's highly unlikely Nolan WON'T direct either Bond 25 or Bond 26.

    It's amusing how these rumours keep getting out there and all are occuring while the distribution deal is being worked out. It's almost like folks are testing the waters.

    Nolan
    McGuigan
    Craig's return
    Wright
    P&W

    One can think of a number of influencers and vested interests who would like to see one or more of these scenarios.

    The big one has yet to drop. Mendes.
