    I've always been slightly hesitant to think that B26 will even definitely be directed by Villeneuve; directors drop out of projects all the time- just the recent Fantastic Four was originally to be directed by Jon Watts, then Matt Shakman took over only because he himself had had a Star Trek movie project fall through. And in the Bonds we've had Roger Michell, Danny Boyle etc. drop out at a similar sort of stage that B26 is nearing now. Stuff will happen, plans will change, it's not uncommon at all.
    What you think of new Fantastic Four?

    Haven't caught it yet! :D I guess it's probably Disney+ for me at this rate. Did you see it?

    Remember when Del Toro was originally supposed to direct An Unexpected Journey and had to leave? The best made plans of mice and men.

    Del Toro is a special case. He's notorious for dropping out of projects and then whining about how the producers/studio couldn't meet his terms.

    Villeneuve has backed out of a few things, but not at the rate of Del Toro, and certainly not as late in the process.

    I think it would take a lot for Villeneuve to drop out of Bond 26, since he's already got no issues with the final cut. I think like Dune, doing a Bond film was always his dream. Plus, so far...on the creative page, he's got no issues with Heyman-Pascal-Amazon.

    Yeah you're right, it feels less likely than the other two examples I mentioned, but I won't be 100% confident until nearer the time!

    Yeah. That's true.

    Again, of mice and men. Everything just seems too serene at the moment, everything slotting into place, everyone getting along. It's like we're waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    I think it can be fall 2027 provided no delays on Dune 3. It gives Knight a year and change to pen the script and get some castings rolling for cameras to start rolling early 2027

    You think cameras will roll early 2027 and the film will premiere in fall? We're not on EON's schedule anymore, it's going to take at least a year from start of filming to release.

    It seems the film's release date would be announced, once Bond 7 is unveiled.

    I respectfully disagree. Once everything is in place, it'll be wheels on the ground. I mean how long does it take to film? Expect an announcement and press conference in December 2026

    Let's just say that's the case and you're correct. That would mean that they completely made the new Bond including finding the producers to make it, in around 2 years and 8 to 9 months. That is very fast indeed, considering they have to recast Bond in that time. David Heyman would be living up to his Harry Potter reputation of rapid production.

    Well if that news story about the red haired lad doing his tape was right it means they're looking at Bonds right now and have been doing for a number of months, plus they have a list of people they got tapes from/tested back after Spectre (Craig was saying he was done back then don't forget), so I'd guess by the time Dune starts to tail off they'll be pretty close to having a Bond, if not before.

    It depends on preparation time and what they need to shoot, and ultimately edit (in the general post production sense - editing, sound, VFX etc. A lot of this runs congruent to the filming dependent on what they shoot).

    With Bond, I guess you're looking at roughly 6-7 months of shooting if we take most of the newer films as reference. They generally have a schedule to keep to. A few more months to finalise post-production can be added onto that.

    They could conceivably start filming in late 2026/early 2027 and have it out by November or possibly even October 2027.

    I suspect in practice a lot of this stuff runs, to whatever extent, simultaneously (ie. early casting/line reading can happen as the script is being written, but maybe not official screen-tests. I don't see any reason why the producers wouldn't be looking at getting locations or potential dates for shoots in certain places even if they have initial ideas/a script isn't finalised yet).
