Interesting. I was expecting this to have quite a long run, considering it's Craig and Jackman. Looks like this won't effect Bond 23 after all.

My thoughts exactly.

I'm predicting that the producers will use the whole of 2010 to work on the script, secure a director etc..

The script will be completed around December 2010, title in January, and filming will commence around Febuary 2011, aiming for a November 2011 release.

Well I'll let you know from reports that Daniel only leased his new apartment in NY until after the play so maybe no filming in NY after the play (not that it was ever suspected)or not just yet.

I am with you on that timeline.

that is possible however there are other timelines that could fit bond 23

[DamnCoffee]

Yep. That's why I stated that it was a prediction.

True

As long as i love bond 23 November 2010- November 2011 it really makes no difference

[Cruiserweight]

I always ike going to the movies during the winter. Just something about the season.So Nov/Dec(2011) would work for me.

Any time of the year is fine with me, as long as I am in my present country. Movies have a way of fading very fast here, if I'm away for too long I might return and find I have to go to a third-rate theater to watch a scratchy copy on a small screen.

Commercially speaking, I guess they would avoid the summer blockbusters.

That's what I've been saying, particularly if they plan on releasing the movie in the summer of 2011. Summer of 2010, you can forget it. Autumn/Winter of 2010, strong possibility.

Also, I don't see why the script would need the whole of 2010 dedicated for it. It is more than likely that at least 1 or 2 drafts have been written already and we could have a complete script long before this year is over. If filming should start in early 2010, then the film could be released in the autumn, easily.

As for summer 2011 again, aren't EON/MGM in some sort of financial mess? If so, wouldn't it make more sense to release ond 23 outside of the summer of 2011 where they wouldn't have to compete with what is shaping upto be the biggest summer of tentpole movies ever. I'm asuming MGM/EoN need all the revenue/profit they can get. A summer release would pit it up against the likes of spider-man, harry potter, bourne 4, transformers 3, the next batman film, thor, captain america and many others, most of them being highly anticipated comic ook movies and with regards to spider-man 4, sony will market that movie hard.
Sometimes, there's no shame in taking a safe route, especially if it's definitely for the better.

Hm. I just think that the producers will play it safe after Quantum of Solace. The thing is, the one thing that the producers don't want, is an unfinished script when production starts. I think they'll be probably working on a draft now, at the start of next year, I think a director will be announced. They will all sit down together, have a nice cuppa tea and discuss what vision the director wants for Bond 23. He'll make some ideas, they will be noted, the writers will come back with another draft. This process could go on for a while. Until the Director and producers are happy.

Or right out of the box the Director could read Morgan, Purvis and Wade's first/second draft and say Yes this is prefect I can't wait to shoot this this is the bond film that everyone will love.

I just don't see November 2011 being feasable unless they can't find the right director. Remeber may 2008 was to be the release date for Quantum till Roger Mitchell backed out of the project. I think the reason the producers aren't announcing anything date wise is they can honestly decide Fall Summer or Fall 2011 without being pressured one way or the other.


2010 is feasable. No one here knows really how far Purvis wade and morgan are the could be done with the second draft and have everything all set up for bond 23. Casting is always a quick proccess (even still assuming a January -febuary filming start there are i'm sure some dialoue scenes between M and bond and action scenes between bond and minor players that don't require the main cast to be 100% filled till Febuary/march heck Le Chiffe and Vesper weren't cast till at least a month after filming began on Casino Royale)

I prefer fall 2010, but I don't have a lot of input on that.

I don't think they need to mess with success -- fall 2011, as in the usual mid/late November Thanksgiving time slot. Bond is one of those franchises that has succeeded in that position for nearly 15 years now and 6 films (okay, TND excepted, but only by a month). You get that mind set.

I don't like summer slots at all. Too many similar themed action pics and special effects films where the focus jumps from one to another as a new week comes in. The Bond films have more breathing room in the late fall and into the holiday season, where they can stick around for a while. Take something like Transformers 2, the biggest hit of the year. It's already been in second run theaters here for several weeks now.

We all know that won't happen. A director doesn't just come in and say "Wow, this is fantastic, let's shoot it right now! I don't want to put my own stamp on the movie! I just want to shoot it, I can't be bothered with making changes, yours is fine. I'll only direct. I want no input in the script at all..."

you never know

i want bond 23 out sooner rather then latter but considering how awesome Casino and Quantum were can u blame me?

[DamnCoffee]

Yes.

Casino Royale was released 4 Years after Die Another Day, which made it so successful. The producers had a longer time to work on the script, and get everything in order. Quantum of Solace on the other hand felt rushed, the script was still getting worked on during production and it shows. Yes, the Writers Strike could be blamed for this, but on the other hand, the producers should've delayed Quantum until May 2009, and sorted everything out.

I want a well thought out Bond 23, not something with virtually no plot and wall to wall action. Over the years I've become to respect the quality of Bond movies more and I want Bond 23 to be on par or even better with Casino Royale. The producers should take their time with it. Just my opinion, considering how Quantum turned out, can you blame me?

Yes Quantum is an underrated master peice that was well done and I wouldn't change much with it. Only 2 things


1. Definitly I would if made the ties to vesper a bit stronger.

2. I would of metioned the full title in the film and what it meant.


Other than that I loved the movie it didn't feel rushed to me. it's second only to Casino royale in my opnion.


and length of time between films has no relation to strength If that was the case Die another Day would of been better.

But we both want an amazing Bond 23. Altough I have new director name Eli Roth that is at least a bit more realistic then Adrian Paul. I want bond 23 to have the same level of suspense as From russia with love (the novel though most of the film was suspensefull) did. Quantum is everywhere we should feel that in bond 23.
