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

We have a very active thread to discuss Marvel films.
Please stay on topic @MSL49 and @mtm
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
Villeneuve starting filming of Bond 26 at the beginning of 2026 would be like what Spielberg did when he made Jurassic Park and Schindler's list.
By the way, I predict that filming of Bond 26 will start sometimes in 2026, and well before the end of 2026. So before the release of Dune 3. It's not like Villeneuve has never done this before. He started filming Blade Runner 2049 before the release of Arrival.
Lol. True too.
I fail to see any scenario in which Amazon/MGM goes all of 2026 and 2027 with nothing to report. Especially with DV being ready whenever he is available following his Dune 3 commitments and hopefully Knight penning the script sooner rather than later.
Yes, I'm in the same boat, holding off in commenting too much until Bond is chosen! Not 100% happy with Villeneuve, but am more optimistic with Knight on board! Hopefully with him on board, there will be a completed script before cameras roll!!!
Happy to be back and good to see you!
Yes, Villeneuve wouldn't have been my first pick either, but having someone so visionary hired to kick off a new era is pretty exciting too. Getting fully fresh blood in the script department is the most intriguing aspect for me currently. It really will all boil down to who's the next Bond though. I worry that might be one of the first big missteps but I really hope not.
We're on the same page! Some of the names bandied around are setting my teeth on edge!! 😬
Oh you and I both, absolutely! I know most of it can be taken with a heavy pinch of salt but they do quickly go from, "Hmm, that's an interesting choice" to, "Wow, that would be really awful."
