You mean…I could do ACTUAL writing between “notes” from marketing???
You lie sir, surely?

and here we are… all movie theatres shut down in NYC and LA. This is why Bond was delayed. Everything else will be following suit soon.

Not sure where to post this but,
Okay, COVID-19, now you’ve gone too far! Just a matter of time before someone from Bond world got it, I suppose. Get well, Olga.
P.S. Whatever happened to that Olga appreciation thread from the old site?
Yea I read that too. Unfortunate news, hopefully she recovers quick.
Sorry to read this news. Hopefully she makes a full recovery and avoids the more severe symptoms.
Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!
That just hasn’t been resurrected here yet.
Perhaps we can resurrect it (along with the Eva Green and Berenice Marlohe appreciation threads) in a more general Woman of Bond Appreciation thread, adding in our new leading ladies from Spectre and the one-day-to-be-released No Time To Die: Lea Seydoux, Monica Bellucci, Lashana Lynch, and Ana de Armas.
Why don’t we have a Covid 19 thread ? Given that’s the reason for the delay of NTTD and the fact that quite a few members over here seems to have throughly read up on the situation and have their own opinions on what the future holds
Instead of letting all the existing threads derail into COVID 19 which is what’s happening now

I thought of that too, but figured we’d defer to Dustin.
Meanwhile, the CDC just forced Disney/Marvel’s hand:

Not officially a member of the Bond world, but we did have a whole thread dedicated to him once.
(Yes, I replied to myself to link it to the Olga Kurylenko post.)

Some friends were chucking messages out that, Bond is back in November. It got me thinking.
While hoping the Producers can maintain resilience long enough to go for a theatrical release, it is Not just and only that November as a date, By November, will be an appropriate and clear time for their release. But, that they will clearly have one or two months’ notice of this date being open for a release.
'Cos if by September, the air is not clear of CV, then the distribution channels will not be able to gain the confidence to spend Again that which they spent to date in teaser marketing.
To be honest, it is for this reason that I can quite see November 2020 becoming April 2021.

I am really having doubts that November will happen.
One, the current situation has to be under control.
Two, their can’t be fear of second wave.
Three, it sounds like a vaccine is way further than 8 months out.
Maybe it’s Day 12 of quarantine speaking, I don’t know.
So, say movies are done for the year, do they have an unattended Oscars next year for ten weeks worth of 2020 movies?

The Oscars will either be postponed or get a clip show from previous highlights.

So I’m not alone. Wondered whether saying what I did would be considered defeatist.
The people who put the money up though must by now be really hurting…

Sadly, I am starting to think that November is possible, rather than probable. But whenever it finally lands, everything I have seen and read makes me confident that it will be worth the wait.

It would be interesting to see if the Oscar’s chose to conduct the ceremony like the old days, where there was minimal attendance and nominees found out the winners from afar. But, I agree, it will be cancelled.
