i don't which is worse the long wait or 4 months of those who said bond 23 has to be a fall release gloating and laughing.



At least we have a release date. why are they dragging their feet?


I should be happy that we have some real bond 23 news but I'm not. and i know someone will say "chill out it's just a movie" yeah well my life is just AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA right now.

Bad news for all of us expecting a Summer release
http://www.examiner....-the-Box-Office

If it turns out to be true so I would wait until official confirmation and at this point I can't see how a release date can be determined until at least a working script is done but I could be wrong about this so maybe some people who have experience in the film industry could enlighten us. I don't see Bond 23 being released at a similar time as a Spielberg film so I think Bond 23 would more likely be released in November 2011 if they choose to release it in Fall of 2011. If they do choose to go with November 2011 I would not be disappointed because it will give them more time to ensure they get it right so if we have to wait longer and get a better product then I am all for waiting.

[The Ghost Who Walks]

They're crazy to open a Tintin movie on the same day as a new Bond veichle.

However, I don't believe this before we see a real announcement.

[double o ego]

I'm one of the people advocating an autumn release date and before I start the, I told you so's, it would be wise to wait for something more official.

That being said, releasing Bond in the summer, especially given the financial situation and whatnot at EON, it would be damn near suicide. spider-man 4 comes out on may 5th, we have potter, pirates 4, Bourne 4 and a whole lot more. Bond doesn't need that sort of competition just for the sake of releasing the movie other than the usual autumn season.

[The Ghost Who Walks]

Too true. And I'm really tired of every blockbuster being released at the same time of year anyway.

Still I don't buy the article since it says Tintin will be released at the same time because I would be willing to bet if EON releases it in Fall of 2011 it would be released in November and not December like Tintin. Plus I just don't trust the article since its not coming from a solid source for movie news and it refers to online sources so who knows if those sources are even correct. I don't think will have a release date until something more official comes along.

[DLibrasnow]

I like that the article is worried about the Tintin movie (and not Bond)

I like the4 fact that rhe report worries about the effect of a Bond 23 release on the same day as Tintin (with the tone expecting it to cause problems for Tintin).

[double o ego]

That doesn't realy excite me. Cartoons tend to do well anyway and I'm sure tintin, a long established character with Spielberg behind it will perform marvelously. However, tintin won't hinder Bond's financial progress. If the article had said Bond 23 will be released in the summer of 2011, I'd have mixed feelings. On the one hand, we'll get Bond earlier but on the other hand, at what cost? Bond being thrown into the summer mix of movies which is host for major money-grabbing players won't exactly tickle my fancy and from that financial perspective, I doubt the ditributors and studio would feel all the more comfortable about it too.

It's not that crazy really. BOND's gone up against POTTER and LORD OF THE RINGS and held his own. People will see BOND regardless of the competition. And like you say, it ain't that official yet... and I imagine someone somewhere will realise that two Daniel Craig films together may or may not be a good idea...though to be fair, his role in TINTIN I (and a CGI ish motion capture effort too) could well be not that headlining.

And in these days of preview screenings and mid-week releases...are these two films really going to be released on the same day?

Besides, not a foot of film has been shot yet for 'DR NO 22'...anything could happen on that front in the coming year.

"Online sources have confirmed that Craig will indeed star in the 23rd James Bond film, and that the movie is set to release at the same time Craig's other film"

[Zorin Industries]

I'm with the condiment above...

[SecretAgentFan]

... as one should be.

It´s nothing new that blockbuster get release dates before a script is written. But I do doubt that EON will want Bond be released against TINTIN. It will be postponed or released earlier at least one or two weeks.

[MattofSteel]

I agree with the salt shaker. I can't believe they'd think this was a good idea (to release both films same day with Craig), or at least that Craig's people wouldn't vehemently protest. Why willingly cut your business in half?

On another note, they cite "online sources." Rubbish.

[Bryce (003)]

"Online sources have confirmed that Craig will indeed star in the 23rd James Bond film, and that the movie is set to release at the same time Craig's other film"

What he said.

[Orion]

If true, it does make it hilariously ironic that the villain in Tintin is James Bond.

[Mr. Somerset]

I didn't notice in the article when Tintin is being released. December?

Online sources have confirmed Mharkin and Zorin are bond fans.

exciting news i'm sure

[DamnCoffee]

I have one major problem with this article. It hasn't stated the release date for Tin Tin, so it sounds as if, the producers are going to wait until the release date for Bond 23 is confirmed and then deliberately release it the same day.

[MkB]

salt, salt, sal everywhere of course, but one precision: this article never says the 2 films will open the same DAY, but at the same TIME, which is quite different. The quotation is:

Online sources have confirmed that Craig will indeed star in the 23rd James Bond film, and that the movie is set to release at the same time Craig's other film, Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn is scheduled to premiere in Europe.

My understanding is that this article is based on our (where "our" = we, online Bond nutters) own discussions and conjectures about Bond 23's release date.

Don't really care whether this is true or not. I won't watch Tintin. I will watch Bond 23!

Michael Wilson himself said he wanted an extra year off. So why is it any surprise the film is coming out in 2011? Seriously, this is like being told water is wet than being surprised when it actually is

I would love a Christmas release date for the next Bond film

[Quantumofsolace007]

the problem is not so much that bond 23 is coming out in 2011 but that it's coming out november 2011. Bond has no real competition in summer 2011. and before people scream about spiderman Batman etc. Batman is not a done deal by anyone's standards Spider man 3 left a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths and Captian ameirca Thor etc are untested waters for marvel. Is it wrong for me to be a little impatinet after all Daniel Craig is my faourite bond.

Oh and Zorin it was bound to come out eventually
