Rumour has it that their retraction was merely a rumour. Oh, the irony!
Maybe he’s talking about the BBC has debunked this?
Pardon my repeating myself but B Broccoli recently said "nothing is happening yet." If that's her honest comment then Bond 26 does not have a release date which means no studio space at Pinewood is booked, no locations locked, no cast and crew ready to work.
It's possible Eon have some first draft script or treatment. They may be at stage 1 in the story process but Broccoli has no reason to disclose that information. Who knows, maybe they have no screenplay but taking a guess it's possible they have some story ideas how to reboot Bond. There must be professional screenwriters working in film and TV with some ideas and some may have approached Eon or vice versa.
But without a screenplay finished and no release date fixed in place why would Eon announce the new Bond actor? It's far too early in the film making process. If Broccoli is interviewed in the next few months and she says "we're planning to release Bond 26 in 2026" then any new speculation about Johnson may have some credibility. But all we have at the moment is "nothing is happening yet" and that's from the Bond producer. She knows the state of play better than the showbiz editor at the Sun. We all play along with the charade in the hope it's real news but we also know newspapers use click bait tactics to get attention.
I am not saying that the ATJ rumour is 100% true. All I am saying is that expect EON to deny everything until an official announcement.
I've never got that x factor from ATJ.
I can fix that. Watch this clip: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cU2_KAiUMIs
B-) :))
Good find. Certainly adds to the mystery. 😉
They know what they're doing. It helps sell papers and get clicks on their website. The Sun and the truth parted company many years ago.
True @Colonel_Venus , but at that point we know there were auditions , there were candidates, we know they were seeking their new Bond, they had a script, we knew there was an active slate with a film readying to go into production…
I’m telling you: there was no script back in 2022, or last year. And potentially, not much of one today.
There were no auditions held. Not this year. Not last year, during all the strikes and upheavals, and not two years ago.
No director is on board. Not today. Not last year. And not two years ago. Plus Deni- I mean the director, will wait to see the script before attaching themselves.
This offer that ATJ is going to sign this week is a complete fabrication.
I’m not saying he won’t be Bond (I do doubt it, based on nothing), but he gets the role after a script, after a director and after auditions.
Do you not audition for Batman? Was Robert Pattinson handed that role, before a script, just because? Or did he have to beat out other candidates, including Nicholas Hoult, after a script was written?
What about Superman? Did Gunn give the role to his buddy Chris Pratt before he wrote a script? No he wrote a script, he didn’t hand over the lead to his buddy, or any other actor, but instead, he auditioned a bunch of worthy candidates.
Why would anyone think that EoN would just hand the role over to a guy before a script’s been written, before a director’s been hired, and without putting him in competition against other worthy actors?
And why would anyone think a director would attach himself to a project with no script???
You must see that none of that makes sense, right?
On of the big three in the bond fan community made his video
Zaritsky also made a video but i think its instagram only
Also i just realized he is younger then me
So nope i am firmly anti ATJ sorry but i am not ready for a midlife crisis
She is about as likely a choice as ATJ, in my opinion.
I thought something must've happened. And then I remembered, the ATJ rumours were still in the news.
As fast as this fire started, as I predicted earlier today: barely anyone will remember this on Friday, and no one will by next Monday.
True, very true. Actually, these recurring rumours on ATJ are becoming as annoying as, say, ATJ himself.
This was another obvious attempt by all parties, except EON, to have some clicks and publicity at the expense of the people. Shame on them.
If anything, it served one porpuse, which was to show the abysmal response to that possibility. Social media (not that I have much presence on social media) ran with it and the sheer amount of negative responses was undeniable. A simple search for these recent rumours in any platform shows this.
@peter is been trying to call us all back to reason and good sense. Things won’t unfold like this. There are procedures and selected media for the reveal. And…we’re just too early in the game.
Give me three different Bonds for the next three films.
60s Bond - One of the Dwarfs from The Hobbit Movies. Yeah that guy.
70s Bond - Thor
90s Bond - Our Henry
Then lead into new Jimmy Bond films - you know this makes perfect sense.
Directors - John Wick Director for Thor Bond. Jalmari Helander for 60s Bond. Gareth Evans for 90s Bond.
I'm a genius and invincible.
As I said to colonel Venus, back then we knew they were seeking the next Bond, news of auditions, news of an active slate and production was gearing up soon, we knew there was a script and writers, and so on, so far different than today where there is:
No script.
No director.
No auditions.
No planned slate for production.
No release date.
Not even a title.
Today's explosion fe.els, and felt, right off the hop, more like an out of control hoax.
And it seems to be ending as such, too...
;))
He's certainly the Fall Guy today. ;)
Simply for comparison…
