Should they? I would say yes to something like that.
It's all there in what Knight has said - 'the same but different'. If that's the mentality they're going with, then I'm guessing they will have discussed what will make this Bond adventure a unique new take. Yes, with some reference to what's come before, but not indebted to it. It'll be a reinvention to whatever degree, but I think an effort will be made to understand what makes Bond films work, and even what made the recent ones work (or perhaps even not work).
Of course. I hate having to spell out every last detail when I think it's obvious what I meant by reinvention.... I'm not denying a formula nor saying that they won't do some of the basic stuff. Don't be ridiculous. But they are not going to look to the 1990s for what to do today. They will capture the timeless elements, but it will be in a new lens free of the shackles of any past Bond actor's tropes.
Is it likely that this just means that the filming is finished? "Wraps Production" sounds to me like the film is completely done and could theoretically hit theaters next week?! However, for a film like Dune 3, the special effects alone will take many more months to complete, as far as I can tell.
Wasn't trying to be pedantic, no insult intended :) Yes, I have a difficult time believing they'd be completely indebted to films from the 1990s for what to do today. Or even the last five films, although again I can believe they'd have had conversations involving previous films (I imagine Amy Pascal would have something to say about SP's pre-production process and maybe what to avoid! Possibly anyway, who knows?)
They wrapped filming. It is wrong to report that "production" has wrapped. So you're right.
I don’t know, an example of how Villeneuve might well go about thinking about this film at some point might be, ‘the first two Bond films have this Hitchcockian approach to their direction which we all love on the team and hasn’t quite been seen again in the series. How would that style look in our new modern Bond adventure? We could do x or y to really evoke that’ etc. Very hypothetical and vague example, but that’s closer to the method of developing this film.
But yeah, it’ll be fascinating seeing how they reinterpret Bond. I’m sure there’ll be surprises too.
Production is the correct term - i.e. the actual shooting of the film.

When items like CG work, color grading and editing get done, that period is known as post-production. "Production" is almost always referring to the actual filming portion of the process.
You've literally got to go to back to elementary sometimes out here. 8-|
First of all, go to hell. I can't stand you Mendes. Second of all, in your link, it suggests that "post-production" is one of seven stages of "production." So production is also just one stage of production. Forgive me for not being a filmmaker and finding that "production" has two meanings is a bit confusing. I wish we could personally block members. If I never have to read moronic trash from Mendes again I'd be grateful.
Whether a film that has finished principle photography is wrapped or whatever you want to call it, is not news. We don't need a debate about it in this thread.
Also, @LucknFate if you haven't got anything nice to say, then don't say anything.
Coming from you, that's rich. But noted.
I only take on bullies and members who are a problem.
But that's for another topic. Feel free to PM if you'd like to continue.
In what way @delfloria ? I was/am a Connery fan and when Craig was announced I was very curious.
