But I could delay things until late 2028 or later, right? They still have to go through he process..
Don't get me wrong, I'm a Bond junkie and I find loads to enjoy and dissect in even the lesser adventures, but how strong of a script and directorial skill does the film need to vault over the likes of The Man With The Golden Gun or The World Is Not Enough, really?
I think Bond 26 going down as the best or second best film of the century so far is very possible, again if they have something great up their sleeve (apparently they all seem on the same page, meaning there is obviously something special they have in mind)
Spot on @CraigMooreOHMSS
Well, we already saw people saying that Bond is dead back in Feb. So yeah, bound to happen.
This, right now, is the best point in B26's existence: it's got great people onboard with it so it has the potential to be a superb Bond movie. The next Bond actor, right now, could be the best one we've ever had. Right now it could have the most Flemingy title we've never thought of before; the score might be an incredible new style good enough to take over from Barry. But as soon as more is announced, those possibilities narrow, more and more people get disappointed as it turns out it won't be the best film ever made, the title will be sort of meh, the new actor looks a bit weird and isn't the exact personification of the Milk Tray Man, I'm not too keen on that location, oh is it about Bond defeating an oligarch again.. hmmm... and then, as you say, when it's released a lot of fans will absolutely hate it. I might be one of them!
So enjoy it right now, because this might well be as good as the film will ever get, certainly it's the most harmonious we're likely to be on here until the next big announcement! :D
Don’t get me wrong, it’s ideal that as many people as possible like the film. For Bond’s sake I hope it’s successful. But I think it’s near impossible for any film to reach the height of best film of the century so far. It could well be considered one of the better Bond movies out of the gate, but as I said that’s no guarantee it won’t have its controversies with fans! As we know sometimes Bond films - or films in general - take a bit longer to find their audiences/gain that reputation.
Pierce Brosnan reveals he would reprise James Bond role in next 007 film: "Why not? It’s great entertainment"
Pierce Brosnan Jokes He’d Return To James Bond If Denis Villeneuve “Had Something Up His Sleeve”
It would be too distracting, as would have Connery playing Kincade.
I can see how it could be but, after a decade-plus of shared universes and multiverses, I think audiences are sophisticated enough to understand and accept a former Bond paying homage to the series in another role. If it were Daniel Craig returning as the villain then I would agree. But time has passed. After all the marketing and anticipation of a new Bond, few are going to be thrown for a loop if Brosnan appears in Bond 26 as someone other than Bond.
Interesting, perhaps a Bond actor announcement is the next thing to drop. Seems like they're already auditioning.
I wager we don't get significant official updates until around Dune 3 press. Then it will be a big show after that, with an actor, a title, a working script, and maybe release date. All at once is my bet.
That's 15 - 16 months. I'm guessing that means we wouldn't get the movie in 2027? They would need to cast the rest of the roles and enter production in a matter of weeks.
I think @LucknFate is right. They’ve had a good leg up getting the producers and key talent nailed (and presumably a general sense of direction/other very early things we won’t know about) but they still have to get a script written and finalised, and of course Villeneuve’s got another film to make. I think in regards to auditions it’s only line readings (if the Rose Marsh story is true - I don’t believe a casting director has been made public, not that that means they don’t have someone/aren’t doing it at this stage) so it’d be very early stuff, and there are potentially hundreds of actors they’re considering, even if they have someone in mind.
I can maybe imagine some other piece of news coming after the summer. But I don’t think it’ll be the next Bond. I can imagine that being announced next year.
Yeah, they've got to write the script, work on it, then cast from there.
Although I've just been listening to a podcast about Star Trek Beyond just because I rewatched it the other day: I had no idea that Justin Lin the director joined the project, along with Simon Pegg & Doug Jung to write it, two and half months before they started shooting! That's nuts. And I think doesn't show in the finished film at all.
I wonder if any of the Guinness family actors will get a shot at Bond?
Also, @mtm I would think Pegg had a lot of prior insight and ideas as a fan and cast member. All things considered, CR was a little similar in being a quick (for modern Bond) production considering it introduces a new guy just four years after the old one, but they had a story they had wanted to tell forever.
