It’s like we’re seeing a pattern here when it comes to the next James Bond movie. Some time after the release of Spectre, star Daniel Craig has expressed that he has grown tired of playing James Bond and wanted to walk away from the role. Almost a year later, Craig pulled a turnaround and decided to stay on as Agent 007 for one more film. In March, it was announced that Oscar winning director Danny Boyle would helm the next James Bond feature with Daniel Craig attached to star. Now, Bond 25 is back to square one as Danny Boyle will no longer direct the film.
Obviously, this is a blow as Boyle is quite the talented filmmaker as evidenced in his previous works including Slumdog Millionaire, 28 Days Later, Trainspotting, Steve Jobs and 127 Hours and I was quite intrigued to see what he would bring to the Bond franchise. Now, I don’t know where they want to take Ian Fleming’s British Super Spy. Between this and swirling rumors about who may end up succeeding Craig as Bond in future films, the fate of 007 in cinema is certainly looking shaky more than stirred.
With Boyle stepping aside, it remains to be seen if this affects Eon and MGM’s plan to have the film released in November 2019. Who will direct the film now? Your guess is as good as mine.
