Yeah, me too. For me it's like... if all horror movies everywhere stopped being horror movies after like, the "Scary Movie" franchise started up. Why worry about that?

Plus the DB5 show up in Skyfall, which I though was just a funny little reference at first, but then they used it pretty extensively in the last act; goofball gadgets and all.

The Bond games released around the time Skyfall came in revealed Craig's Bond had gone through versions of missions the prior Bonds had been on.

Yeah right, I remember those. It was surreal seeing Craig in Goldeneye.

I don't know man. It's an unfortunate occurrence when parodies are super popular. The thing being poked fun at - even lovingly - and the people behind it get super self conscious and tend to course correct, or attempt to. It happens way too often.

See also, deconstructions that become popular, especially if they don't reconstruct by the end, and how the things being deconstructed take all the wrong lessons from it.

It was surreal seeing Craig in Goldeneye.

Oh yeah, that was a thing, wasn't it? I'd meant to play that. I don't remember why I didn't.

Daniel Craig doesn't hate doing Bond. Here's why he "didn't want to do it" as explained to Stephen Colbert:

I'd have no problem getting paid millions to star in the most expansive movie franchise of all time.

[ZariusTwo]

Both Apple and Amazon have expressed interest in the Bond distribution rights, in the lead for the bid presently is Warner Bros

[ZariusTwo]

Universal Pictures will distribute the movie, and Danny Boyle is confirmed to direct

Shesus christ... will everyone shut up with the "Idris Elba has been cast as _______" already? So annoying.

See?

It's FAKE news. And this isn't even the first time there's been FAKE news about it.

[ZariusTwo]

Cary Joji Fukunaga (True Detective) will replace Boyle as director, movie is pencilled in for a February 14th 2020 release date

Craig's personally requested that Phoebe Waller Bridge (Killing Eve) "liven up" the script for Bond 25.

And according to rumour

Spoiler:

Bond kicks the film off in retirement, and is brought back to help his successor as 007 out of a jam...and yes, the new 007 is a woman

They won't do it. executive producer of Bond Barabra Broccoli has stated numerous times Bond won't be a woman.



“Bond is male,” she told the Guardian. “He’s a male character. He was written as a male and I think he’ll probably stay as a male.”

[Andrew NDB]

Yeah, that rumor is FAKE news, for certain.

Spoiler:

They never said Bond would be a woman (unless she's revealed as a long lost sister), it's just an agent designated as 007 in Bond's absence is one, and we don't know if that will remain the case after the movie is over, it could just be a one-and-done

I dont think Sean really hated Bond but he did hate the direction it was headed starting with YOLT

That's my FAVORITE Bond movie of all time. Seriously.

The odd thing is, he ended up stepping down as Bond just as they were about to do one of the most faithful adaptations of the books (OHMSS) and then came back to do more of the same stuff he hated (DAF)

[Hamato Yoshi]

1. They paid him a lot for DAF (like 1.1 mill....and he donated most of his pay to scottish school fund or something so the man cant be all bad)

2. UA financed several films besides DAF , that helped bringing him back a final time (excluding NSNA which was not by EON)

[ZariusTwo]

Cast revealed, but no title yet

[ZariusTwo]

So while Bond has retired when we catch up with him in Bond 25, the 007 codename has now been assigned to the character played by Lashana Lynce. Yes, the first black 007...who's also a woman.
