Danny Boyle steps down as director of James Bond 25

August 22nd, 2018 by Marc Comments

There’s not much to report on this story at the minute except to say that the 25th official James Bond movie is now, once again, seeking a director.

While we were all pretty excited to have Danny Boyle step up to helm a Bond adventure, it seems that the director has left the production for that old reason… Creative Differences.

The official Bond Twitter account broke the news earlier tonight with the following words:

“Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli and Daniel Craig today announced that due to creative differences Danny Boyle has decided to no longer direct Bond 25.”

The previous official announcement read: “Daniel Craig’s 5th outing as 007, will be directed by Academy Award-winning Danny Boyle from an original screenplay by John Hodge. Production is set to begin on 3 Dec 2018. MGM will partner with Universal Pictures to release the film worldwide.”

With Boyle gone it’s possible the movie will begin to film late… but we’ll keep you posted as and when we hear more.

Thoughts?

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
