Wonder how long this gets pushed back now?

Things aren't looking good for Bond 25 at the moment as it was announced yesterday that director Danny Boyle would no longer be directing the film due to creative differences.

Reports are that Henry Cavill is campaigning to be the next James Bond if/when Daniel Craig gives up his license to kill.

To be honest I think he could be very good Bond and bring back some of the class of a Connery and Brosnan.

More reports are coming out on why Danny Boyle quit "Bond 25" and if they are true good for him.
IMO if that is what Craig wants then maybe he should leave the film now. I'm also not happy that Barbara Broccoli agreed to it and maybe its time that she (and her family) leave the Bond films as well and turn them over to someone else.


Daniel Craig wanted James Bond to die, Danny Boyle quit before letting that happen
A new report claims that the real reason why Danny Boyle quit Bond 25 was because Daniel Craig wanted him to kill James Bond off at the end, an idea Boyle labelled ‘ridiculous’.

While initial reports speculated that director Danny Boyle quit the 25th James Bond film over disagreements regarding casting an unknown actor as the villain, a new report suggests otherwise. It is now being said that Boyle quit over ‘ridiculous’ plot demands that would’ve required him to kill off Agent 007 at the end of the film. Boyle is said to have refused to comply, and chose to depart the project over ‘creative differences’.

The Sun reports that star Daniel Craig and producer Barbara Broccoli wanted Bond to die in a ‘spectacular finale’ - an idea Boyle is said to have labelled ‘ridiculous’. The report quotes a source as saying, “There were discussions about killing off Bond in dramatic fashion at the end. It would also leave it open for a twist in the next installment — either Bond hadn’t died or there could be a Doctor Who-esque regeneration with a new actor.”

Craig famously said after the release of his last Bond film, Spectre, that he would rather slit his wrists than play the character again. He was wooed to return with a hefty $25 million paycheck, excluding a cut from the profits. Craig in 2017 announced that he would return for one final film, before leaving the character for good.

It has been recently speculated that following the delay in Bond 25’s production, the producers are considering their options about replacement filmmakers and perhaps even looking at a replacement for Craig, in the form of Idris Elba.

Boyle had turned in a script with his Trainspotting co-writer John Hodge, which the producers were said to have approved. Filming was supposed to begin in London at the end of the year, with a November 2019 release date planned. But the report says that all was not well during pre-production. “There were clashes over budget and there’s pandemonium among crew with people leaving the production left, right and centre,” the report quotes the source as saying.

Fukunaga directed the Michael Fassbender starrer Jane Eyre in 2011 he also directed Beasts of No Nation in 2015 starring Idris Elba. He is probably best known for his work on the acclaimed HBO series True Detectives where Fukunaga is an Executive Producer and also directed all 8 episodes of its first season starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harallson.

Before we get all crazy it should be stated that I’ll take Idris Elba as Bond over Timothy Dalton any day of the week. Ian Fleming wrote Bond as a white dude. Bond has been white for about 60 years. I’m not buying that James Bond HAS to be black or that it’s inevitable. Why not just make 007 an Asian chick?

Fleming commissioned this pic to aid comic strip artists

Why can’t Elba be another agent? 005? They cross paths, team up, has his own movie? That would be kinda cool. There’s been other 00’s before, though briefly.

I’m a huge Bond fan and I’m seeing an Idris Elba bond movie regardless, I just don’t see why Bond needs to be black. There’s no reason other than to push some SJW crap which will turn a lot of people off.

Is it just me, or does Fleming's illustration look like Sterling Archer?
