  • They did not just realize it. They knew when they made the decision to cut Boyle that the script would be changed considerably; therefore they brought in P&W. Still not happy enough for it to be finalized, they have been talking to Burns for a…
  • Yes, I understand some concerns; I do. I just feel some of the stronger feelings go overboard and I'm not comfortable immersing myself in this thread just now. But I'll return; thanks. I try to stay objective. I know having a new writer, and g…
  • Seriously ... checking here at lunch time to find people continuing to say Cary is about to jump ship. I do try to read comments here, not only for news (cos I can get the gist of that on the 1st updated page) but to see in general what people are …
  • No ... it started last year. But the writer now has something to work with. But you know that.
  • P&W put together a basic Bond story. EON knows they can do that reliably. Other writers can and do come in during the process; add, make changes. For many years now. But it gives EON a place to start and they know that. I don't hate P&W…

  • Anything about Norway is welcome. Or any location. Just to give us a little breath of fresher air on this thread.

  • FRWL is one of my very favorite films. Having Bond captured is fine for a small part of the film. The whole premise above sounds dreary to me and also screams "potentially boring" at times. Definitely little action. I am all for this being a ser…
  • "Five writers" noted but seems to me the main writers were Hodge, Purvis & Wade. Three people. Haggis did not do a major piece of writing; just my impression. He was brought in to add, make changes. Like he has before; that kind of task. Li…
  • No, I found it and it is on our site here (as well as tweeted), under James Bond news: Just go there. In part it says this: (bolding is mine) Back when Danny Boyle was going to direct the film, it was rumoured that Bond 25 would end with the d…
  • OK, I read it on twitter and thought it was from our Bond site. Maybe not.
  • Panchito, I am pretty good at skimming over your comments. But sentences do jump out at times. Your deriding of Barbara, for one thing, hides some sort of sickness with you. You are obsessed. Seek help elsewhere, please. Anyway, I just read t…
  • I am a fan of Pierce's Bond, but I'm a huge Craig fan, too. Seems like you may have like my earlier choice for giving Bond 25 the title "Fiasco!" That would go along with what a few members here are saying. ;)
  • Thanks, @ClarkDevlin. That's rather where I'm at.
  • Have to say at first I thought Boyle was an interesting choice, though I couldn't picture his Bond. But after all I've read, I think it's very good he was fired. So definitely not a screw up by EON to do that; just my opinion.
  • For me it shows EON cares about this script. I find that a positive. Burns being hired means a solid effort at quality and a better vision of what EON, Craig, and Cary have already decided. Burns knew about this awhile ago, so surely he has been …
  • The article is slanted of course; that is natural. Never mind that. Look, it says EON wanted him for months. This is prepared for. This is an experienced, good screenwriter. Surely EON, Craig and Cary have their main story in mind and hiring …
  • Seriously, films go through rewrite often in the process (not just Bond films). I think they have the basic story in mind by now, and a script to work with - not starting from scratch. Meaning, even if more than a mere polish (nothing to sneeze at…

  • I don't mind at all them bringing on a seasoned screenwriter to get the script finished. Why would that be a bad thing? I sincerely doubt it is a major overhaul, huge rewrite at this point. If the news about Boyle's ridiculous idea is true (killi…
  • Hodge fiasco. Boyle fiasco. Delays fiasco. Release date fiasco. (just saying ...) Hmmm. So maybe for some fans (not looking at anybody in particular, just thinking to myself, just had this idea...) How about this being the title for Bond25 …
  • Preceded by "You are ..." (and adding in a nice, thoughtful way) ... "Yes. Considerably."
  • OK, I'll take a guess for news at the press conference: - composer announced (because I do think they know this by now) - locations (some) announced - one other cast member announced ... but not stated as main villain (we may be told henchman/h…
  • It is a relatively minor delay in time, in my opinion, @Ottofuse8. And this is a massive film, as we all know. But the resources they have are definitely sufficient to the task. This film is well funded - shooting will happen, in more than one pl…

  • Not at all excited by Malek but it's looking like all the hints coming together for him to be in Bond 25. If so, I hope he's a psycho killer like Benecio gave us. That was good. Main villain? Geez, I hope not. But as always, it depends heavily…
