if your wrong I will bring this quote up.
Technically it was the Mail on Sunday (the Daily Mail's sister publication, as I understand it, similar to the difference between The Times and The Sunday Times).
The article was *not* written by Bamigboye but two other writers. Pretty much all the articles have cited this Mail on Sunday story.
Given what happened last time (stories written saying Eve was Moneypenny, stories denied yet turned out to be true) there may be a tendency to accept it. If it had been written by Bamigboye, I'd be more inclined to believe it (because he has a track record on this sort of thing). On the other hand, it does seem to have a fair amount of detail. Caveat emptor, your mileage may vary, etc., etc.
If true, the article has some details that could be viewed as spoilers. I personally have yet to see Eon, MGM or Sony comment on it in any way.
If it's true, I don't think we'll get definitive proof until October 2015 when the movie is out in the U.K., same way we didn't get definitive proof about Eve being Moneypenny until Skyfall was out.
I thought so, I was just checking I hadn't missed anything else; all the articles I've read cite The Mail on Sunday (as you mention). I guess we'll see what happens.
--Participation of Purvis & Wade as writers. Last official announcement was MGM CEO announcing John Logan had been hired to write Bond 24 and Bond 25, November 2012. This is widely believed to be true but hasn't been confirmed officially that I've seen.
--Waltz's participation in the movie. (But not the part about playing Blofeld, even if true)
--Bautista's participation in the movie.
What track record of constant delays and re-writes? (Re-writes are just part of any normal process in ALL filmmaking and TV production.) Eon are presently on schedule - so what delays are u talking about? 3 or 4 weeks from the original PP date? That's nothing in filmmaking - studio pics and even indie films (with no release dates) frequently move back for various reasons. So can you please tell all of us here when have Eon ever failed to deliver the finished film on time for the slated release date? What track record are you talking about? Or are you just shooting from the hip?
Re: your comment directed at me and my profession, well, I have made it clear I really like the Craig era, and therefore I respect what Eon are doing right now and how they are exploring the central character.
CR is tops for me. I love the script and the finished film. And I also think there is some wonderful writing and filmmaking in SF - plus great casting, acting, and very sure footed direction from Mendes. I say this as a professional writer, a director, and a producer, but it's still just my personal opinion regardless of my experience or my profession.
You are fully entitled to your opinion, although I will say that to suggest (as you do) that the producers are not the most able to ever walk this earth is purely your opinion which (correctly me if I'm wrong) is not based on any actual personal knowledge, solid evidence, or any experience of the producers and/or how they work. I however, do have that personal and professional experience, so obviously I feel I might have a better understanding of how they operate than you do. I think that is fair to say. Don't you?
Anyway, back to Bond 24.
On another note, it just dawned on me...Bond 24 starts shooting NEXT WEEK!
omg yes :-O
8-| been 2 months now since lea posted anything on her IG
I fail to see why they can't start filming sooner with 3 years between movies. Anyway I am glad that they started filming Skyfall 2 months earlier than usual and that they will start principal photography on Bond 24 about1 month before the usual January start date, I just wish they started even sooner so they could finish filming sooner and could devote more time to post-production resulting in less rushed movies.
Yes, according the rumors. If it really starts shooting on december 6th, it is crazy that we know nothing about the press conference yet.

In time we'll see about that.
December in one week. Very exited, indeed.
When the movie comes out.
I think some have mentioned that idea before.

Skyfall's press conference was announced one week before it was held, Quantum's just one day before.

throw around as many numbers as you want - you're never going to win an argument over personal taste - art is subjective.. and all those number reflect are people's opinions... i personally enjoyed SF better than TDKR - and i think it was a much better film - but those same numbers would say i am in the minority... but i don't care, it's my opinion....
see what i am getting at?
@Matt_Helm, on the other hand, I am more than fed up with your negativity that far too often borders on real insults. You have a real problem. There is nothing wrong with having a differing opinion, even a strong dislike about something, but you cross the line too often with your rudeness, and what certainly feels like hate (even more than annoyance or anger) spilling into your posts. I usually just skip over your posts, to be honest, but your recent insult to GermanLady is despicable. With that comment you insulted many women. As was your comment to another female poster many months ago that I PMd you about. You never wrote back; no surprise. Either stop or you should be stopped. Your insults should not be tolerated, and your constant raging negativity needs to be modified to some modicum of decent rhetoric for this forum.
These are the only possible dates it could be on, seeing as I don't think we'll have it during November:
Monday 1st December
Tuesday 2nd December
Wednesday 3rd December
Thursday 4th December
Friday 5th December
Saturday 6th December (supposed filming date)
i may not have as much experience in the industry as @ColonelSun does... hell, i am still trying to find my way in little ol' Cleveland, OH.... but one thing I can tell you, is that posting personal opinions of people, their work, and etc. on public forums is an easy way to get yourself blacklisted in the industry.... what if the producers hired you to do work for them - but then they see you on the internet critiquing their decision making? the next day, you might just find yourself out of a job.... personal feelings of criticism, especially between people you have or do work with - are better left in private.... posting them on the interwebs is a quick and easy way to burn bridges once they find out it's you...
besides all of that... making a film is hard work - especially one on the scale of a Bond film... look how many filmmakers try to make it and fail.. it's not easy..... but on top of that, like in the case of Bond, you're trying to appease a 50 year old (and growing) fan base... i'm sure they would love to make a perfect Bond movie that 100% of fans will love - but if you believe such a film is possible, then i got some land in Montana i would like to sell you - it's a fool's quest, and in the end you'd have a slop mess of a film... at the end of the day, as an artist and filmmaker myself, you make the film that you yourself would like to see - and when it's all said and done, you the gauge the audience and see how the majority felt.. if they like it, good, keep going that direction.. but if they don't (as was the case with DAD as QOS) you know changes will have to be made the next time out..
What gives you any bloody right to speak to someone that way? I'm not going to say what's properly on my mind about you because I'd likely get banned. Kudos to the staff here for the amount of patience they must have keeping you on these forums.
I'm not going to say anything more about this because I don't want to take away from the Bond 24 discussion further. I'll just ask again who the hell you think you are to say something like that to someone else.
The last person to reveal the date was Lizo from the BBC on his Twitter feed. I don't have Twitter but maybe someone should message him and ask what he knows?

I'm on it!
You are absolutely right, flag.
I agree with you, but i think that they had the time to finish the script earlier but it's ok! Hunger games movies comes out every year, james bond cannot in every two years? Also i think it is mentioned that bond 25 will be out at 2017! We also must have in mind Daniel Craigs age, which does not wait for good scripts and big production times!
You are building a straw man. Read my posts again. No, actually, if you want to rebuke what I say, actually bother to read what I said. My many, many posts on the subject. Not my problem if you can't read Matt, or can't understand, or refuse to understand, I think even the post you quote is very clear: a nemesis creates de facto a personal antagonism. That is the nature of nemesis: with this particular adversary, it's personal.
As I said in my many posts which you never bothered to read, because yes, it is far more efficient to name call and spout "shame on you" than actually reading the argument, I said that Bond's antagonism with Blofeld in both novels and movies predates the murder of Tracy, which represents obviously a peak, but is not its the only trigger for their antagonism. The Joker is Batman's nemesis, even if in the comics he did not kill the Waynes. Moriarty is Holmes' nemesis, even though the only thing that triggers it is the fact that both adversaries consider the other as his equal. This is personal enough.
I won't say shame on you Matt, I know you have no shame.
This is a translation of the second half of the article:
'Now broke Mayor Mathias Scherer and the production team her silence. In a "citizen meeting" in a Obertilliacher hotel, around 100 people informed about the upcoming rotation.'
'Filmed at three locations: in the woods, on the slopes and in the specially built Bond House. "There comes a crew of around 300 people and we have 50 trucks," the film crew informed the Obertilliacher. Own transportation system and working closely with the police will make during the filming of a regular daily life of the inhabitants. Nevertheless, it is hoped the part of the film team on understanding in the population. In return there for locals own "Tours" by the rotating venues.'
'That in recent weeks, fears and concern have emerged, many believe by "B24". "It is ausschauen afterwards, as if we were never übrerhaupt been there," admits Ernst Vogl, Project Eon Productions, all clear. The film crew is trying to pay all benefits fair, also leased land. "12,000 euros per hectare is a good price," says a farmer.'
'That the cat is now out of the bag ensures even at Scherer for relief. "With this film shoot, we have a unique opportunity to make the small Obertilliach in the world known. We should not be missed us, but not at any price, "says Scherer.'
'Despite concerns the "B24" -Verantwortlichen remain optimistic that everything will go smoothly. "I hope that we all go together in the fall to Lienz and there see the new James Bond film, even if it will be the first of many," Mayor Scherer said at the end of the "Citizens Meeting".'
