Spectre November 2015

Like I said, if they can hold the release date, its all good. CR started only in February, so they might. Still - how come, they only get to acknowledge this NOW? Logan stated, he is tired of Bond and co, so there seems trouble or at least artistic trouble.

But yeah, better take care of it at ALL.

One thing for sure, Daniel is not lucky with the pre-production of his Bonds. This might work out to his benefit after all...not.

I don't know what to say...I suppose it would be a good idea to make a lighter movie. But tbh I call light smth in the vein of CR, not of Moonraker or DAD

Who was behind the script of CR? I still think that train dialogue was one of the finest and wittiest in the series.

I have had the feeling that the stuborness of "replicating" so to speak SF was a mistake...hopefully they will go in a different direction but not towards campy.

I still hope we will have a decent Bond girl, not just Moneypenny (for me she just fails to be enough, although that close shave scene was pretty good). But the "scandinavian actresses and models" the article talks about make me quite skeptical....We know already that part will be that of biref love interest - if the said interest will be played by a model

Wade and Purvis were part of CR. Seems one writer is just not enough for Bobnd. I highly doubt, they will go for campy. Not with Daniel on board, but the lighter touch, yes. Its just a bit sudden after all this time.

This sounds exactly what they did with Skyfall. A second look at the script to lighten it up in places. And "turmoil" was the interviewer's word. I think this is the process for every movie but this article wants to sensationalize it and try to tie it into Cleese's ridiculous comments.

No - unfortunately I don't think so. Baz is not that kind. He really is in the know many more times then not and quite taken for serious in this biz. There is more to it...even more so with Logans recent comment about being tired of Bond and Co.

But I agree that Cleese's comments were ridiculous! If I was British I would feel very offended if people thought things like "I thought Christmas came once a year" were examples of "British humour". I am sorry, but that is just bad writing. Painfully bad.

He is an old has been plus his comments about the Asian market were all wrong. The numbbers haven't been THAT strong form that.

John Cleese is irritating. I always have the impression that because he came from the ground-breaking classic 1960s school of political commentary humour, he thinks it gives him the right to be rude. He an irascible old man.

Hi everyone!
I was worried when I first read the word Delay but nothing is confirmed yet, but then it´s normal to have such problemes with a script I think, They have plenty of time to sort it out IMO.
Saludos.

And you said nobody cared what he said when I posted the link to his interview in the news tidbits thread

And now, even Baz quotes his pathetic opinions

As for the delay, it's just a couple of months, I gather from the article, not so bad, and if it is to help them produce a better script, I don't mind. It's ok if they give the movie some "punch", hopefully not coming back to the campy and cheesy of some of the pre-Daniel ones though.

A post on another forum with which I agree:

Overall if Purvis and Wade are in Casino Royale mode we are in good hands if it's die another day mode uhm I am scared

I agree with many ideas posted there, including the fact that with such big gaps between movies DC will turn 47 during the filming of Bond 24 and will be in his 50s when/if he films Bond 25. It is a factor to take into consideration.

I don't trust much of what The Daily Mail reports. It's not a tabloid but I feel that whatever it reports on, should be taken with a LARGE pinch of salt. The news doesn't sound much like I would need to go...

I am sure BB and MGW have it under control and 'know what they're doing'.

I might panic a little about the release date being put back but I will be very surprised if that happens. And considering the wait is still damn long, I'm kind of like ...

... whatever.

If the release date IS pushed back, Daniel will have to think very seriously about what he does in the meantime...... WON'T HE?????!!!!!

Like I said, Baz is pretty trustworthy. As usual other sides are picking up on it, but its still the one source. There won't be much from EON other then shooting is delayed. If they still are able to bring it out in Oct/Nov or even Decermber 2015 I am good.

If Daniel will return for 25 will partly depend on how 24 is received, but not alone. Their timing of his then 4 films lost him at least one film and he might end up with 4. If its on a high end I rather have him not overextend his welcome.

You are right, however I don't really like the expression "overextend his wecome" in this context, as it implies he would insist on staying even if the host thought he should leave. He for sure won't insist that the producers keep him if he's no longer welcome. Or he would never pretend he's welcome if he isn't. I believe it's up to the producers to decide if they want him or not. And the audiences may have a say as well, but he definitely won't stay if he's not welcome anymore. The term "oversextend/overstay one's welcome" refers to a situation when someone won't leave even if they get hints to leave, thus putting the host in an awkward situation. Daniel is not like that. He'll stay until they want him to stay and not a minute longer, I think.
I'm sure he'll know when the time to leave will be. He once said he hoped someone would tell him when he'd be too old to be Bond and then he'd leave.

Oh I disagree, I think it's possible to unknowingly overextend ones welcome.
