    Only if the film culminates with Bond gathering enough eggs to make Stacey Sutton the best damn quiche she's ever had in her life.

    SPECTRE could unleash the Virus Omega and threaten Bond s farm. This would force him out of retirement.

    Oooh, and as a call back to the Dr. No novel, Bond fights Blofeld in a burning barn and engineers it so that a stack of manure bags fall on his enemy, killing him. Not exactly guano, but a close enough reference, eh?

    Then Bond looks down at Blofeld's crushed form and says, "Poo poo for you" at him. We've also gotta have a scene where Bond fights from his trusty steed (a cow) as SPECTRE agents force themselves over his grazing field to flank him, and after he kills them he'll say, "you've been put out to pasture."

    Yeah, this is gold.

    Yes, Roger of all people knows this stuff. Maybe DC is pulling an Octopussy, and EON is James Brolin-ing him

    The current speculation reminds me of every single intermission from TSWLM to AVTAK.

    Bond 25: Bond and Madeleine settle down on a coutryside chicken farm.

    The whole film centers on the struggles they have running it.

    You love chickens. You love their taste, their flesh. You luuurve chickens.

    What was Craig's first contract like? Was it 2 films with an option of a 3rd? Then after Skyfall it's film by film?

    Whoever is responsible is doing a bad job of managing the media.

    It often feels like EON is a two man band. You can imagine Babs manning the phones while MGW scrabbles around for a paper and pad to take notes.

    That's exactly the impression I'm left with. Its been 6 months since SP and no news on Bond 25, no news on whether Craig is returning and no news on the new distributor. What are they doing over there, screwing up pieces of paper and throw them into a bin from across the room?
    How much news did we realistically have at this point between SF and Spectre?

    In November 2012, MGM announced that John Logan had been hired to write Bond 24 and Bond 25.

    MGM, Eon and Sony announced Bond 24's release date (still no title at that point) in July 2013.

    Guys, relax: there's a lot going on: Craig is on an option, there are no writers for the new script, no story, no one's distributing the next few films... relax...

    Ease back now, Jim Relaaaaaaaaaaaaax.
    This is the 21st century. The era in Bond history when every new film was followed by or preceded with a hiatus. We're 16 years into this era and no signs of that cycle changing until the series finally peters out.
    Sarcasm aside I must say these "Craig quits Bond" media b******t has gotten really old and way out of hand. All throughout the 89-95 drought there were rumors of Tim being replaced by Pierce, Mel Gibson, Eddie Murphy, Sharon Stone etc etc. This is nothing new. Dalton was still Bond until April of '94 when he officially stepped down. Craig is still Bond until he throws in the towel.
    Of course if history repeats itself, Craig will step down an be replaced by an actor who does four hugely successful films, but aged rapidly after his second because the third took nearly half a decade to commence filming. By his 4th outing the internet will be actively forcing him out with rumours of highly inappropriate Bond heirs-Justin Beiber as 007 probably being one of them, yet will amazingly have a strong support group in his favor.
    For the sake of variety let's hear from Mr. Craig himself. Or why not do do something that hasn't been done in in the Bond series in 35 years? Give Daniel enough elbow room maybe he'll actually come back and be the 1st bond to have a 5th outing actor since 1981? I'll bet there are many here on this board that weren't around back then.

    One thing for sure - we will get no earlier information because of this. Daniel never answered to all the shit and badmouthing and neither does EON. So - it might be a longer wait, even partly to show, they bend to no media and public nonsense.

    Finally a decent, a very decent take on it all. Worth reading!!

    Daniel Craig, it’s okay if you let Bond go
    http://www.flickeringmyth.com/2016/05/daniel-craig-its-okay-if-you-let-bond-go/


    Articles end:
    That’s fine. That’s genuinely fine. Dan, if you’re listening, it’s ok. If you are mulling it over, know this: everyone would love to see you do Bond 25, and give us another exciting blast of fun like Spectre or a critical great like Skyfall or Casino Royale. You’re not too old, and you’d give us what we want. But if your heart isn’t in it, I’d rather you step away now. Forget all the media putting words in your mouth, or twisting those words, or claims about rejecting millions of dollars, forget all that – just make your choice for the right reasons.

    If you still love 007 like we do, keep on remembering the first rule of mass media – give the people what they want. If you don’t, then move on with your head held high, knowing very few have ever done it better. For many people, you’ll always be ‘their Bond’. That’s more than a great enough legacy.

    Moore knows whats up more than anyone…People just love discussing ANYTHING to distract the tedium of their lives so they turn to NEW BOND NEWS to get their fix…Like a poster said, this is the age of instant gratification and anticipating the next film, which is why the media was so insistent after filming for SP wrapped…I hope the annoying questions and lukewarm reaction in the US didn't make Craig fed up with the series...

    That being said, I would like to know what is happening in regards to distributor and that Craig is going to do a fifth before calling quits…No holds barred, plain mission bas wed film with no personal backstory and no continuity, like the old days.

    Let's put this into persepective. Sir Roger has simply said: "until he says otherwise." That doesn't mean that the rumblings of behind-the-scenes aren't true, only in that there has been no official statement from Craig saying that he's quit. So I agree with him on the matter of why are the press declaring he's quit as if he has, when he hasn't even made that statement yet. But don't make the mistake of thinking that RM has some hotline to DC where they've both had a discussion on his future as 007. He hasn't said that, either.

    Regards SP screenwriter John Logan, latest issue of Total Film magazine has a brief interview with him about Alien: Covenant, which he is scripting. They ask him about Bond 25 and his brief reply "Believe me, I'm not thinking anything past Alien!" They say he is as yet unconfirmed for writing duties on 25! Wasn't it stated that he was going to script Bond 25, AND 26 at one time?

    I'm relaxed. Someone asked what news there had been at a comparable point between Skyfall and SPECTRE, so I answered.

    //ll throughout the 89-95 drought there were rumors of Tim being replaced by Pierce, Mel Gibson, Eddie Murphy, Sharon Stone etc etc.//

    In addition, Albert R. Broccoli had put Danjaq/Eon up for sale (later taken off the market) and was in a legal fight with MGM, all of which was causing more uncertainty. The Mel Gibson buzz was specifically caused by a report that Joel Silver was interested in buying and if he did so, he'd install Gibson as Bond.

    Gary Barber, the CEO of MGM, announced during an MGM financial conference call in November 2012 that JOHN LOGAN (mistakenly typed "Barber" in original) had been hired to script Bond 24 and Bond 25.

    Beware. If he scripted 25 one reasone more for DC to leave. Logan can have the new one, as far as I am concerned.

    Yes, I'm not sure whether to take that with a pinch of salt or not, and if it's true then it's a big worry that Gary Barber is the CEO of MGM. It would be very difficult to make money from product placement when they've retro-fitted the series. The money that product placement alone brings in is not to be underestimated. The series would also become a "spot the mistake" of those "things" weren't around in the Sixties, even if they tried to CGI eveything out in the background to make it look like a Sixties landscape. Though I think it sort of works for an office-bound series like Mad Men, it would end up looking clichéd, stereotyped and hokey in a Bond movie, much like the recent UNCLE movie, IMHO.

    I forgot about all that. I remembered Gibson ..he even passed on GE but I forgot about Joel Silver and the sale.

    No I don't think Logan is coming back considering the mess of spectre (honestly did he just have writers block go to the cinema see Captain America the winter soldier and then say screw it that was a great film I am just gonna steal it and change elements of it)

    If I had to guess Jez Butterworth is more then likely helping write the next film. Back in febuary Greg Wilson said they (but not indications who they were) were throwing around ideas for Bond 25. My guess in terms of who they were was G. Wilson M. Wilson Babs Daniel Craig and Jez Butterworth but again this is all just a guess.

    My feeling is Craig will do one more (though I wouldn't mind 2 more) it will be heavidly influenced by You Only Live Twice (the novel) and because the way titling has been going as of late my guess is Bond 25 is Blofeld... Which I am ok with Blofeld while being a bland title for a film is an Iconic villain and one film goers recognize and like so having a bond film titled that would make sense...

    To be fair, Logan had the outline for the 24th developed long before Captain America: The Winter Soldier came out. His efforts were different and introduced other ways of putting Bond in the mission as well as had alternatively different characters for the part. It was Purvis and Wade that made a mess out of it and turned it into a Winter Soldier clone. Logan's drafts had far more interesting bits that connected each scene conveniently with one another than the customization the long-hated duo made through the outline.

    There is the distinct stench of a 'hack' job in SP, so I'm not surprised their pawprints were all over it. I hope they are finally dumped for B25. They ran out of ideas a long time ago.

    I don't know what to believe anymore and I didn't pay close attention to the leaks as others.... While I like Purvis and Wade (casino royale was 75% theirs and it was great) I do feel it's time for fresh blood through out in terms of who I would want for writers I don't know... I did like the night manager perhaps whomever wrote the script for that ...

    Like I said Logan's script had plenty of problems you don't beg people back after you let them go because they are nice blokes you do it because the script has more plot holes then Swiss cheese
