    Would be fantastic to have Bautista back in Bond 25. Hired by the new villain in te same way Drax had Jaws on the payroll. I've said it before but would welcome the line "His name's Hinx. He kills people" :007)

    That'll be why he gave the two-seater V8 Vantage away via charity...

    He gave away his AM Vanquish, which has 2+2 seating...and that +2 is pretty much only suitable for small children.

    From the fellow on Reddit who seems to have info:

    "Been hearing that delays on are on the cards.....could be a rumour. But there are a lot of shrugs going around in regards to releasing in 2019. I suspect that if an announcement is not forthcoming before the end of next month, then B25 may get delayed.
    However this does not mean that Danny Boyle or Daniel Craig are out. If anything it confirms their involvement."

    But then today:

    "I've heard now from several people that Danny Boyle is a lock, Annapurna will distribute domestically with MGM, Warner will distribute internationally with MGM. Filming begins in December. Casting is heavily underway.
    Some form of announcement is forthcoming."

    Who's the "fellow"?
  • Arbogast 777Arbogast 777 Minneapolis Posts: 595MI6 Agent
    Somebody who claims to be close to the production. I’m personally betting on a 16 year old kid eating ham and cheese Hot Pockets and drinking Baja Blast.

    Based on the wording of the Twitter post I don't think it's a 16 year old. He writes far better and he has a wider vocabulary than the most famous Twitter user in the world.
    Doesn't mean he's the real thing, though.

    if only McClory was still alive, we could at least have Never Say Never Say Never Again, Again while we're waiting

    I'm surprised the Sun and the other tabs didn't jump on the Mrs. Craig is pregnant and Danny Boyle is busy so they'll be a delay sooner.
    It's all perfect tabloid fodder. But I think the tabs are just warming up. In short order we should have some bizarre baby rumors. By the time they get done I'm sure there will be Martians involved on some level. :))

    Postponing Bond because of the baby is an absurd idea, considering that Craig recently said it's his next project, and he knew about this baby long before his wife got pregnant. When someone gets pregnant at 48, there's very little chance it happened by accident. There most likely had to be a considerable amount of planning involved to make this happen. Craig signed contracts to do Bond at a certain time and I don't see him as the type of person to go back on his word. He knows what he's doing. As for Boyle, the tabloids are acting like he forgot about his other projects when he signed onto Bond, and he's just realising it now.

    So, why no proper official announcement about Boyle as director then? If he's been in place for some time why the, will he, won't he, coz the script needs approval etc?

    Are your buddies setting up shop at Pinewood now for pre-production?

    As for these claims about Warner Bros distributing internationally. They distribute Wonder Woman and the next WW film is being released at the same time as Bond. Why would you do that?

    The trade press speculated that WB had lost out on Bond's international distribution and that is why they put WW in that November 2019 slot. http://deadline.com/2017/11/wonder-woman-2-to-now-open-on-november-1-2019-with-gal-gadot-1202207062/
    "There’s a big battle for overseas distribution [for Bond25] among Sony, Universal and Warner Bros for the franchise, and the new dating of Wonder Woman 2 raises questions whether WB remains in the mix to handle [the] foreign [distribution]."
  • HowardBHowardB USAPosts: 2,755MI6 Agent
    Well....Wonder Woman is Warner's domestically and internationally plus they are the studio behind the film. We don't officially know who is distributing Bond 25 but if it is Warner's internationally, they are a big operation and certainly have the resources to distribute two big films at the same time. Why would Warners take on another big franchise at the same time as another big film?......for the money, it's what they do. If it turns out not to be Warners....why would we even care? MGM/EON will go for the best deal.

    I have friends at Pinewood who work in post production (sadly not on Bond) no obvious signs of pre-production taking place there which is odd given the timescale. Doesn't mean it's not happening of course, but very difficult to keep that kind of thing under the Radar. It's just about possible to hit the release date if it starts real soon, otherwise a delay is looking increasingly likely.

    By “things”, do you mean pre-production or a delay?

    It's still 7 months before filming would actually begin. Does it take 7 months to build sets? Also, I would imagine it would also depend on what type of sets are being built. Is it out of the realm of possibility that the script would call for less shooting to be done on constructed sets or less shooting being done at Pinewood in general? Could the production utilize some sets built for more simple interiors at a studio where some of the location shooting is taking place (similar to LTK)? Just wondering.

    Let’s not forget that QOS started filming at the same time of year and didn’t even get its director until July. We are not in red alarm territory yet...

    If it runs true to form pre-production is usually about six months, so not quite red yet but certainly Amber. You are right it is possible that activity is going on elsewhere.

    I think if Danny Boyle is truely involved that pre-production would be going on near him, not Pinewood...
  • HowardBHowardB USAPosts: 2,755MI6 Agent
    If they are being a bit more budget conscious this time around, is it possible that they could look at other studios that are more $$$ than Pinewood?
