I'll have what you're smoking/snorting/taking.
Where do you get these ideas?
I believe this is a first for a Bond film...

I like how smoothly he skipped over that lame attempt at starting a PC Debatte in the video interview
I had hoped that this film would focus more on Bond, but I'm getting the sense that there are quite a lot of characters to develop properly and deal with in this one. They'll have to handle it deftly.
You're taking this from a report on casting.
I'd suggest you instead listen to what the director said in the video posted above; that his film is trying to honour what DC has done and close his run solidly. This shows his intent more than anything, I'd say.
Why do I feel that he and others have finished with screenplay from that interview even though he didn't say anything about it.
If there's one thing i would like him to use as Inspiration from AVTAK (and there is pretty much just one thing... ok maybe the title track as well... ok and Paris as a Location) then it's a villain similar to Zorin.
Even though Skyfall did a pretty good job at that already.
I would agree with you-- or at least it's ready enough that they're casting and looking at locking down locations.
If they've more or less finished the screenplay already, they're really well on track. Hope we'll get more rumours and/or news throughout the month.
I wrote this idea a year and a half ago but if I were to do Bond 25 based on what everyone is saying the inky way I can appease the a majority of fans and not have the revenge film (though in my opinion it what Craig does best but so be it)
Pts would be a nightmare of Blofield trying to kill Swann and bond failing to get her
The main plot would be Bond now retired and a diplomat working on an assignment that involves the new 007 Gala Brand through out the course of the film much like in the novel moonraker (but the roles are reversed) bond realizes he can’t lead a normal life and has to walk away from Swann in order to be the man who keeps the world safe (touch of mission impossible fallout) and so the film ends Bond is 007 again Brand is retired and Swann is gone
To tie up further loose ends I would have Blofeld be the mastermind behind the plot Bond and Brand foil and whoever is cast as the “main” villain be a henchmen
The plot above tics all the right boxes
Women empowerment post me too check
Swann is dealt with check
No revenge plot check
Bond is 007 again check
The emotional arc from Casino Royale (when you do what I do for so long you don’t have a soul left to save) completed check
Takes the stupid code name theory out back and blows its brains out check
The only problem with my idea from my vantage point is at least one main action sequence needs to showcase Brand as a bad ass and the issue here is we come to see Bond not Brand but my guess is If Cary is on a similar wave length we should be fine as I bet he can get us to invest in Brand
As for titling the film above honestly Either
The Garden of Death (making bio weapons the main threat both Bond and Brand investigate)
Or
The Silver Phantom (as smuggling seems like something a diplomat investigating would be far more believable) and we could have a climax on a train similar to the novel the man with the golden gun
AVTAK is not a bad Bond film at all. It's only issue is Roger being too old and the visible stuntmen (and the Beach Boys). But overall: the film is a delight. Walken is great.
As for Bond 25, I am rewatching True Detective. What a masterpiece. I don't think Bond fans have anything to be concerned about with CJF.
Thank God.
