Bond 25

[You Know Who]

Danny Boyle is scripting and possibly directing Bond 25.

[Missy]

Confirmed. Boyle is directing Bond 25, based on a John Hodge (Trainspotting) script.

The official 007 Twitter account just announced that Danny Boyle is out due to "creative differences."

I'm not totally surprised here. Kinda wondering if John Hodge's script will still be used.

Adham went ham on FB about it lol

It was pretty glorious!

Cary Joji Fukunaga is in as director.

Alright, now I'm interested.

[slothian]

I'm not saying that I'm *not* interested, but how do you have creative difference with the guy who directed the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony - FEATURING Daniel Craig as Bond - and replace him with Purvis & Wade (GRRR-HRR-HRRR-RRRR) and the guy who directed a Netflix show by saying "Remember, you're Jonah Hill and Emma Stone - and SCENE!"

This has "missed opportunity" written all over it.

I will say that's not fair. Maniac may be his most recent thing but both Jane Eyre and Beasts of No Nations were very well directed films. Also, he did some great work on the first season of True Detective.

I'm regularly unfair.

Also, I will concede that I am basing that description of Maniac on what the director himself told the BBC website, and have not seen the actual show.

But I maintain that we're missing out not having a Bond film with Danny Boyle's stamp on it.

As the most recent episode of The Show shows well.

I’ve only seen two Danny Boyle films, both of which involved major poop scenes played for laughs, so I’m not too bothered.

I’m gonna finish Beasts of No Nation and at least try Maniac. I didn’t care for Jane Eyre but that was because it was Jane Eyre.

But I usually acknowledge when I'm being unfair, unless you have a specific example otherwise.

Could you extrapolate? I'm not saying Boyle is a flawless director (I fucking hate The Beach, which stars your favourite guy Leonardo DiCaprio) but poo scenes played for laughs......?

[You Know Who]

They were Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire. I actually liked the former. He also directed a bunch of Morse episodes and I love that show.

And the film shall be called...

[Pan-dub]

Great game

[You Know Who]

Rami Malek has signed on to be the villain. This is a good thing as long as it’s not a stereotypical Middle Eastern bad guy and he has good material to work with, neither of which is guaranteed.

35 seconds in and I thought of Adham Fisher.

I'm liking the insistence that the Craig era isn't just an anthology of done-in-one Bond stories, but an evolving, sequential story about one guy. Especially with this being the final Craig film, it's that which has got me most interested as opposed to anything in the trailer, really. But the masked villain looked really cool.

I really like it. Maybe it's all the Mass Effect I've been playing speaking but it sounds suitably epic and like a Bond theme.

Also, it has the added benefit of not inducing a coma like Spectre's theme did.

[Missy]

Ooh. I can hear the modern Bond-izms (RE: Casino Royale), but with a different twist. It sounds like a Millennial James Bond lamenting a lost love. In Billie Eilish I can kind of hear hints of "Black Sheep" from the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World soundtrack.

'No Time To Die' release delayed from April to November

Oof.

[dc20willsave]

It's some good reasoning honestly: Most people are anxious about Coronavirus and only thing coming out on the new weekend that would fall into a similar demographic is a new Disney Animated film.
