    If it were due in 2018, it wouldn't take until late 2017 to get substantial information. We'd manage to have some a good ways before.

    Stay tuned because, on May 5th, my concept novel "James Bond Distribution Rights Explained?" will be available to download through Mediafire in which I've re-tabloid the future of the James Bond film series.

    Also, hopefully the news of Bond 25 distributor and release date to be expected next month.

    Even the Bonds with 2 year gaps didn't announce much until well into the in between year. If B25 does get a 2018 release date we really may not get any substantial news until late next year...say around fall. I just hope we get distributor and release date news this year. Otherwise I'm not expecting much.

    They started pre-production on TWINE around the time of TND's release - 2018 at the earliest, but at the moment Bond 25 doesn't even have a distributor.

    I shincerely hope sho. We'd probably get director announcement and location news, early enough, but casting and title....especially title wouldn't be out until shortly before shooting.
    Of course, CR was an exception as they pretty much had decided to wipe the slate clean during '04. I believe most of 2003 was spent (I was going to say wasted) on the Jinx spin off script and brainstorming ideas for a 5th Brosnan. Then a whole 'nother year was spent finding Pierce's replacement hence the 4 year gap.
    I sort of see this as being a potentially similar situation as we don't know for sure if Craig is sticking around and what direction the series will take. It may not take a four year gap this time though once the distributor gets sorted out.

    I guess we simply have to accept that in 2016 nothing will happen that will be told to the public.

    Distribution rights in January 2017, then?

    There's still plenty of time for there to be news on Bond 25 and/or Bond #7. We're only a 1/3 the way through 2016. There's plenty of time left for news to come out.

    With a lot of big and exciting developments going on over the next few years, EoN don't want to be in a position where people end up giving zero fucks about the next Bond movie...whenever it decides to come out; and this is one of the reasons why I think Craig isn't coming back. I really wish and still hope he can return to do one more but as time goes on I think it's less likely that he will and EoN need to introduce a novelty factor (in the guise of a new 007)to couple with a new adventure to get people really excited again and to really stand out from the sea of huge franchises and monster tent pole movies. This isn't a 1995/2006 scenario; these are very different times and the landscape has dramatically changed in a matter of a few years alone. Whatever happens, I really hope EoN can get it together and recapture the greatness they once had. They need to throw out some of the silly traditions that's only serving to be a creative hindrance and really start hiring talent that have the vision and capability to do an excellent job.

    Like Chris Nolan?..

    Eon has been in this game since 1962 many franchises have come and gone and come b

    No Nolan please. I don't want a depressing convoluted plot for a Bond film.
  • Posts: 9,842
    Ok that is odd I had a whole long post and only three lines posted

    To summarize

    1. Bond 25 should be a brutal revenge film and if it's Craig's last one should wrap up Spectre and Blofeld at least for now ( unless he is willing to do two more then move the climactic finale of the Spectre story to Bond 26)

    2. Bring in people like the writer of the night manager and either Pierre Morrel or Jean Collet-Sierra to direct said brutal climax film

    3. After Spectre is wrapped up see where public interest lies and either do another interconnected story using a reformed Smersh (who could be a hacktivist group like anonymous or Gaurdians of peace) to take on our new 007 (who should be hiddleston in my opinion) or if shared stories are become passé then give us good stories

    Agreed. We've already kind of done the Nolan thing with Mendes doing his best impersonation of him. No need to see that repeated yet again.

    He'd definitely take that path. If he does The Dark Knight Rises type of movie on Bond, then I'd know we'll have the most unwatchable Bond film ever since The World Is Not Enough.

    Nolan has a knack for telling complex stories very well. Apart from his recent over ambition with Interstellar, I have been quite impressed with his brother and his ability to weave things together deftly and coherently. Bond would be a cinch for him.

    Mendes is a weak impersonator in this regard. If they get the real thing, I'd be quite happy.

    I still believe if we hear little to nothing this year the film isnt coming out in 2018.

    Whats upsetting is that early on there was talk we might get it in 2017.

    I was struck by the same thought reading the Evening Standard's review of Bastille Day:

    http://www.standard.co.uk/goingout/film/bastille-day-film-review-a3231261.html

    Still the tedious Idris Elba horse is being flogged by the trendy media who don't give a shit about Bond and just want an easy scoop.

    The fact is though if Craig turns round tomorrow and says he's done Elba, whether you like it or not, would be a big 'story' and get people talking about the new Bond film more than Hiddleston would.

    Not saying it's that likely to happen but if EON and the studio want to make a big publicity splash Elba would deliver that.

    Bond has always disobeyed orders, that is why we like him. Going rogue is something else.

    exactly... there is difference..

    the only time where Bond truly went rogue was in LTK - because he directly disobeys M's orders, willingly offers his resignation, and evades MI6 custody all in order to satisfy a personal vendetta..

    in QOS, yes, there was a personal agenda Bond had in tracking down Greene - but he was still acting on orders.... i think the only time one could validly make the rogue argument in QOS, is when M orders Bond to have his movements restricted, and he gets the airline lady to lie on his behalf, that he was going to Cairo instead of going to see Mathis - and shrugging off Fields when she told him she was to escort Bond back to London...... but it still wasn't as blatantly rogue as people make it to be.

    at this point tho - it might be the only way to actually guarantee another billion dollar Bond film for Craig to go out on...

    nothing is ever a sure fire thing - we all know this - but news of Chris Nolan directing what could be Daniel Craig's swan song as Bond would drive box office business just on that alone..... if you couple that with the possibility of being on par with the better half of Craig's run thus far - i think it stands as good a chance as any blockbuster would to break $1 billion again - surely a mark that whoever takes over as the new distributor would love to see.

    provided he leave Hans Zimmer at home for the film, then i could be okay with it..

    but we all know that wont happen.

    Just a thought but has it been revealed what Steven Moffat is doing after he finishes Doctor Who? Surely signing him and Gattis up to take on Bond would be like a dream team?

    Its been hinted that Sherlock is approaching an end game. This is what EON needs rather than just a bunch of producers, a consistent creative force to get it in order.

    There you go. Those were pretty good scores. Haven t seen Following, though.

    Nolan would be the best choice right now I think. If he does get it you might be looking at a 2019 release.
