    The notion that a high-budget movie gets delayed because the stars wife is pregnant is downright laughable. I am really completely surprised that there are people in the news business go for it. Not to mention members of this very forum

    Barbara and Wilson worship Craig and it seems they’ll do anything for him, so delaying a film they don’t seem to want to make anyway isn’t so far fetched.

    On a side note: shouldn’t they have made skyfall as B25 because it’s the perfect film to end on.

    So, what are we saying, here? Sophie Rundle plays a talented young agent being mentored by Bond (she has the looks and gravitas for such a role), and by the end of the mission/movie DC's Bond is dead and the young female agent steps into 007's shoes?
    As long as they don't have her dying in the end instead, and Bond holding her in his arms, guilt ridden and crying. We've already endured this sort of soap operatic sap twice recently (once in CR and again in SF), and I'd rather not have to experience it a third time, despite possible temptations to go down this route given those two films are seen as highlights of the Craig era.

    Neither option fills me with joy. If Bond were to die, I would want to know before hand, so I could avoid the film indefinitely.

    Interesting, you should post that on the religion thread.

    Yet again, EON never replies to rumors and gossip, ever. They'll make their announcements when the time comes.

    That kind of policy would make them so busy, they wouldn t have any time left to do their job.

    Exactly, end one rumor and 20 new Pop up. Responding to each one of them would be a fulltime job and not worth EoNs time and money. What would it change anyway? Keepin some fans here from loosing their minds? Thats your Problem, not EoNs. They need to Focus on producing a movie. It will come when its ready.

    I'm not saying that it should be their number 1 priority but if all the ducks are lined up then it's time they made the announcement that's all I'm saying

    Who says they are? I'm sure when the ducks are indeed lined up and there's nothing else they're awaiting, they'll make the announcement.

    I really don't think Craigs last movie will end on a downer, that would be counter intuitive.
    All of his movies ended on a downer, except SP (and more or less clifhanger)
    On his last movie i would think they will have to make it the exact opposite. Bond is all about happy endings, until Craig we only had one downer ending (OHMSS)
    The self sacrifice angle has been played out in movies recently as well. He should definitly have a get-the-girl ending on his last movie.

    I guess I have too much faith in cash at reddit but all he is saying is more legit to me than what the sun is reporting

    Do you really think, all this nonsense has any reliability? Including most of the commenty comments on here?

    Agreed. They are still waiting on a relatively big piece (or pieces) to fall in place. Once that is affirmed I think we'll get a comprehensive announcement. I still think we'll get this film in 2019.

    The notion that a high-budget movie gets delayed because the stars wife is pregnant is downright laughable.

    So is the idea of taking a year off because the star is tired, but that's what happens at EON with Barbara in charge. I agree it is laughable, but it's what we have nonetheless.

    Isn't it all but confirmed (or perhaps officially confirmed and I missed it) that Annapurna is going to handle the domestic distribution?

    Of course. No surprise there.

    All but officially confirmed Annapurna will handle domestic distribution and Warner Bros will handle international distribution according to cashpersia on reddit

    Well that's not one and the same; it's refreshing hearing something, I'm sure, but he's just another Reddit poster to me that hasn't proven to be trustworthy. That last update of his didn't even seem to include anything of substance that we couldn't have guessed (distributors/filming start time/etc.) based on other rumors.

    Annapurna has been officially commented on by sites like Variety and Deadline, but not WB for international distribution.

    If these other publications didn't think there was anything to the rumours they wouldn't comment on them. They are many instances of tabloid gossip being completely ignored by other publications. For something to "catch fire" like this is, there must be something behind it. They are likely using The Sun as a source just to cover themselves

    WB was actually reported as the frontrunner for international distribution on Variety and Deadline I believe

    There's just been too much conflicting information/rumors coming from various sources and websites. Too much to sift through and contemplate what's real and what's bull at this stage, so I'll patiently await an inevitable confirmation from EON. Then we'll see what's true.

    The script’s already been leaked, guys! Christoph Waltz makes a surprise return to tell Bond he’s actually his biological brother, and Vesper faked her death the whole time and worked for SPECTRE!!! Has to be Craig’s best yet.

    I would be really surprised if things were working that easy in the movie business. After all, other people ( especially those like Boyle)have schedules to keep. Schedules that make them millions and millions of dollars.

    That’s certainly not the reason for the long break. After all she didn’t produce the two EON movies in the meantime on a spontaneous note.

    A bit like when it ‘caught fire’ that Elba would be Bond, or Hardy would be Bond... etc

    Isn't Sophie Rudle a little plain to be a Bond girl....

    Anyway, this Reddit rumour is a hoax as the will is probably delayed. The Daily Mail have chimed in and posted this hilarious recent photo of Craig getting his haircut

    Also, for anyone interested; Danny Boyle has been spotted filming his new film in Essex:

    Sophie Rundle certainly wasn't plain in Extras, but each to their own.
