I unironically like Die Another Day's opening creditsI refuse to believe any Bond movie could be worse than Spectre. I'd rather watch Die Another Day than Spectre - at least I know I'll laugh.

He's been saying that every single day for the last twelve years.I thought Craig said he was done with Bond movies at some point?
Are there any truth to those British tabloid rumors about Daniel Craig being very difficult to work with on the Bond25 set?

Ana is in Rian Johnson's Knives Out too btw. I agree though, glad she's getting more big roles. She's great.So glad to see Ana de Armas get new big roles. For a moment after Blade Runner I feared she would fade into obscurity.

That's great. When I looked on imdb a little while after Blade Runner there was just one or two small upcoming projects.Ana de Armas has been busy and will be in a lot of films soon:
2019:
Yesterday
The Informer
Knives Out
Sergio
2020:
Wasp Network
Bond 25
The Night Clerk
Can't speak for Bond25, but I heard an anecdote from an actor friend who was in Spectre and has connections with the stunt team that work on Bond movies, that Daniel Craig basically shut production down early for the day on Skyfall because of getting pissed with Sam Mendes. The reason given seemed fair enough though.Are there any truth to those British tabloid rumors about Daniel Craig being very difficult to work with on the Bond25 set? Probably just need to sell papers, since they also say only the start of the script is finished.
A source close to Bond 25 said, "They don't have a script, there's no title, it is nearly five years since the last Bond. It starts with a retired Bond living in wedded bliss, but the rest of the script is still being worked over. They rolled out the cast this week at Ian Fleming's villa in Jamaica because if they wait much longer Daniel Craig, who is 51, will be too old, and then he really won't do the film."
Brief details of the plot find Bond called back into action when his CIA cohort Felix Leiter, played by Jeffrey Wright, turns up asking for help to rescue a kidnapped scientist. It has been rumored that the plot would also touch heavily on the dangers of powerful tech or social media platforms falling into nefarious hands.
The source added of curmudgeonly Craig's return, "Everyone on the production side detests working with Daniel, he's so difficult and makes things impossible. But [Bond producer] Barbara Broccoli thinks he walks on water, and only her opinion matters.
Don't know if thread worthy due to the source, but some rumors

Those were the tabloid rumors going around yesterday, but it just sounds like bullshit. And they've already filmed more than that Jamaica part.Don't know if thread worthy due to the source, but some rumors

'She's writing a re-write of a re-write,' a film-making source told me of Waller-Bridge's recent involvement in the project.
'Daniel's writing. Cary's writing. The crew reckon they're working on a well-polished s*** show.
'They have an outline of plot, but dialogue is all last-minute. It's not the way to make a movie. I would imagine they'll sort it out in the cutting room. That's where most movies get made anyway. But you'd think the Bond lot would be more together.'
Filming in Jamaica has begun, and they're shooting with Imax cameras. Also very much digging the vibes from these Max Payne 3/buddy cop set photos.
There does seem to be truth to the reports of them constantly rewriting the script. Baz Bamigboye from Daily Mail is supposedly reliable and have joined in and said these things:
Plunkett and Macleane and Let Him Have It are good at least
For reference, the last two Mission Impossible started filming with barely 30 pages drafts. Same with multiple MCU movies.
It will be okay.
Also true.True, but James Bond has less quality control than the MCU and Mission: Impossible.

I'd really love to know what blackmail material these pair have on Broccoli and Wilson to keep getting work.
The MI franchise is handled by inordinately more talented people tho...For reference, the last two Mission Impossible started filming with barely 30 pages drafts. Same with multiple MCU movies.
It will be okay.
After Spectre there's no other logical answer. 5 years and they couldn't get it together.
They do what they are told, that goes far.I mean, they wrote Die Another Day, as well. That was their debut (as a duo - one of them co-wrote The World is Not Enough, which is also deeply troubled at the script level). And they're still here! How good Casino Royale was can only take you so far, surely.
"I think I'm still processing it. It's really exciting. The film they've got is such an exciting story. It's just been a joy to work on,"
When asked if she was bringing a feminist humour to the script, she said: "We'll see, we'll see what I can sneak in. I was really just making them feel like real people" [referencing the female characters in the script]. "Daniel's films have had really fantastic Bond Girls and it's just keeping up with that."
"We have a script and we're continuing to work on it, all of us floating ideas around and creating characters together. I love the character of Bond. I love that he exists in a grey area, in that he does terrible things and yet he does them for the right reasons. Nowadays we have questions about patriotism – is it worth all of this that Bond does, is it worth taking a life? I think these are very pertinent questions these days."
"You've got to make sure the actors have something fun to work with. I don't mean fun as in, "Woo-hoo!" But I do find, from an actor's point of view, that playing something that shows a twist, or a surprise, or something about a character that people didn't expect to see, is something that really grounds me in my character. One thing I'm doing here is making sure there's an authenticity to these characters so that the actors have something solid they can hold onto."
"He was sprinting during filming when he slipped and fell quite awkwardly," the source said. "He was in quite a lot of pain and was complaining about his ankle."
That's the thing I can't get over. It's not unusual for movies of this size to be rewriting basically on the fly. But Eon has had their longest gap between Bond movies since Dalton left and they're still in that fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants mode? What the hell was everyone else doing all this time?After Spectre there's no other logical answer. 5 years and they couldn't get it together.
The difficult road to production on the latest James Bond film has hit another hurdle after shooting was reportedly suspended following an injury to star Daniel Craig. According to British newspaper The Sun, the actor fell while sprinting on the set in Jamaica last week and has been flown to the U.S. for X-rays, resulting in a suspension of the shoot.
The newspaper cited an unnamed source as saying that Craig was shooting one of his final scenes in Jamaica. "He was sprinting during filming when he slipped and fell quite awkwardly," the source said. "He was in quite a lot of pain and was complaining about his ankle."
While it is unknown how long the production might be delayed, The Sun reports that filming at London's iconic Pinewood Studios, which had been scheduled to begin at the end of the week, has been canceled.
Did he fall off his walker?Apparently Craig had a boo boo on set. Can't remember how reliable Sun is, but if Variety is picking it up there might be something there.
About Lea Seydoux (Madeleine Swann):
She haven't actually filmed anything in Jamaica, and was only there for the cast reveal.
She will be filming in Italy this Summer for the pre-credit car chase scene apparently.
Daniel Craig was also spotted at Pinewood Studios two days ago, but will be undergoing his ankle surgery soon and stay put for two weeks.
"The movie's premise is genetic warfare, which is fascinating — but you gotta boil it down and make it accessible," the source said. It was this need for accessibility (and humor) that got Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve) involved with the script. "That's why Phoebe was hired. She has somehow made sense of it."
