    Default Danny Boyle No Longer Directing Bond 25

    The official James Bond Twitter account just posted that Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle will no longer direct the 25th Bond film, which is expected to be Daniel Craig’s last time portraying the iconic character.
    Boyle, who directed Trainspotting, 28 Days Later, and won the Best Director Oscar for Slumdog Millionaire, had been circling the project since February. Then, in May, he officially got the job. Rumor had it casting was ongoing for the film, which was aiming at a December 2018 production start date. But, with Boyle now out, that seems like an ambitious date to hit, as any new director who steps in would certainly want to put their stamp on the project.

    Ultimately, the question becomes: Will this impact the long-in-place November 2019 release date of the film? One would assume that’s the case but nothing has been announced yet. However, it’s now officially okay to start mourning the fact we aren’t going to get a James Bond film through Boyle’s unique vision.

    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    Something about Idris Elba being better than Craig.

    Tbh I'm surprised Boyle ever agreed to do a Bond as I thought he wouldn't have enough say in the movie.

    Well, that’s a great shame. I didn’t think much of Spectre, I must confess - I thought Boyle’s involvement would be a shot in the arm for the franchise.

    Just do Nolan. It’s what everyone wants. So much of his work is inspired by it

    I hope they reboot this franchise soon. I miss watching my Bond movies and Daniel Craig was never what i thought of as a James Bond - (he can play Wolverine lol! but never what i wanted as Bond)

    Are you basing this on what we’ve heard of Bond 25? Boyle hasn’t directed any Bond films yet (and now, I guess, never will). The last two were directed by Sam Mendes

    Maybe the poster mistook Daniel for Danny.

    I thought we were talking about the the same guy who did the other Daniel Craig Bonds. My mistake. Shows how much attention I'm paying.

    That was Sam Mendes, he directed the last two entires. Craig's had three directors across four movies.

    Maybe they should bring Martin Campbell in to finish the run he started-although Campbell's record is occasionally spotty....while he's had great stuff like Goldeneye, Casino Royale, and the first Zorro film he's also responsible for legendary flops like Green Lantern, Beyond Borders and the second Zorro film. Although Bond is pretty much what he does best-action thrillers (GL was particularly out of his comfort zone I think).
