So, your hypothesis is that Sam Mendes is shooting Bond 25 part one using a script from Purvis and Wade and Danny Boyle will shoot Bond 25 part two with a script by John Hodge? Just making sure I'm following along properly. An interesting theory for sure!
Why the WSJ Alibaba groceries story?
Yes. That is the hypothesis. It explains some of the weirdness that's been going on for the last four years.
If DC could occasionally do scenes before the start of filming this December, we know he did something in Spain in May, and since Spectre he has only had supporting roles, Lucky Logan, filmed in 2016, and Kings, the filming for which overlapped DC's Othello, which ran from Nov 2016 to Jan 2017. Bar some TV voice over work, according to IMDB, DC appears to have done nothing since February last year. https://www.nytw.org/show/othello/
Think about that, Spectre, 2015, and then in 2016 two films and Shakespeare until February 2017; and since then, nothing.
I don't know why there always has to be some sort of conspiracy theory? So Dc hasn't done much for a while, so what he's a very wealthy man and doesn't need to, I'm sure all sorts of scripts and projects land on his desk. I think the truth behind most of all this is pretty normal film industry behaviour. Eon seem to have locked down following the Sony leaks and the world's media are just manipulating any slight bit of possible news into a salacious story. We will get news when there is news to get.

Daniel Craig didn't do any films between Skyfall and Spectre. I think he's realised that Bond takes too much out of him and needs a lot of rest and personal time between the films. One Bond film for him is like 2-3 years of work for a regular job!

This is a good point, and has probably been amplified as his role during pre-production has expanded.

Sorry for the random link. That's the industry I work in and it must have still been on my clipboard. I appreciate your response and explanation of your theory.

I totally forgot he did that movie Kings because I saw zero advertisements for it. Looking at how god awful the reviews are doesn't give me much interest in seeing it now though.
Given his wife's current condition, we know he got busy doing one thing over the last year ...
And given that Rachel is 48 this might well be a birth they had planned and worked for. That said, their personal lives in this area is none of our business. But it's ridiculous to ignore this aspect of Craig's life while taking a magnifying glass to his acting schedule.

Good point. I'll stick with the combining DC's scenes for B25 & B26 in the December '18 to June '19 period idea.

why does craig get so tired, we never hear tom cruise get tired. or atleast he doesnt complain about it.

Tom Cruise is a Scientologist and they believe in aliens and other crazy stuff. They have super human levels of energy and can jump out of planes and hang onto the back of elephants and reach the end level of Angry Bird.
Daniel Craig is just a mortal bloke like the rest of us. He needs three to four years to recover from each Bond film. It's a miracle Dan has the strength to count all the money he's going to make from Bond 25. If it's around 30 million dollars - that's a lot of zeros to read on your bank account. Poor chap, I feel for him. I really do.

Me too, it must be dreadful. In fairness I have not heard him complain about the workload. Daniel like all of the other Bonds can't seem to get arrested while in tenure. Connery's career did not take off until well after Bond, and Pierce has had a patchy time of it. Bond is a bit of a curse, a lucrative curse to be sure but a curse nonetheless.
Of that of which we cannot speak we must pass over in silence- Ludwig Wittgenstein.
Pierce hasn't had a box office hit with films he has top billing since Bond, however he has been in some pretty good films and he has grown quite a bit as an actor. He has even had some good turns as the villain. I get the feeling that Craig will continue to shy away from
big commercial films and opt for smaller productions that interest him and more offbeat, unusual roles (like his comic turn in Logan Lucky). I would love to see Craig do a film adaptation of the play "A Steady Rain" that Craig starred in with Hugh Jackman on Broadway and was produced by Barbara Broccoli.
I do really hope Someone's theories end up being right. I totally support this stuff and I love this speculative time. By the way, fantastic research, you're the man.

It seems that Aston Martin is remaking the DB5 in a limited run for general sale (well, special order), and will be made in the Goldfinger style.
What piqued my interest, are the comments about working with EON and Chris Courbald on it, and that EON is keeping 1
So, it seems some of the films production team will be involved in remaking this classic and perhaps one will be finished to coincide with the start of filming.
I have speculated previously that the next film will be a vintage piece (this thread, post 1745), i.e. set in the 1960's, and adding 2 + 2 to come up with 5, this fits my wild idea greatly - DC is Bond, set in the '60's with the car and everything...
EON spent millions smashing up the DB10's last time, and maybe with new owners, they have been told to find other funding streams, so selling a number of DB5's to subsidise the Hero Car will certainly keep the accountant happy!

It's certainly an interesting idea, and I would love to see a - new - vintage Bond but it would seem very odd to do this with DC and not a new face.
Now how much much are those DB5's going to be?... I wonder if they will PX my Ford Focus )

Yeah...there always has to be a first time - right?
