Every movie has its quirks on the way to the silver screen. No Time to Die certainly had its share. Here are a few. The writing July 2017: Eon Productions announces Neal Purvis and Robert Wade are writing Bond 25. At this point, Daniel Craig's return as Bond hadn't been announced yet. December 2017: Eon boss Barbara Broccoli says on a Hollywood Reporter podcast that Purvis and Wade were "busy working away, trying to come up with something fantastic." May 2018: John Hodge is announced as the sole writer of Bond 25, to be directed by Danny Boyle. August 2018: Boyle departs Bond 25 over "creative differences." Hodge leaves also. Purvis and Wade end up returning. Boyle vs. Fukunaga Spring 2020: Production designer Mark Tildesley worked under both Boyle and his replacement, Cary Fukunaga. Tildesley says during Boyle's time on the project, the art department had built a 350-foot rocket and a Russian gulag set in Canada. February 2019: The MI6 James Bond website says for most of the Hodge/Boyle script, Bond was imprisoned by the villain. September 2021: Fukunaga tells The Hollywood Reporter that the Boyle-Hodge project was "more tongue-in-cheek and whimsical." Query: If all of this is correct, did Boyle want a "whimsical" story set in a Russian gulag? A sort of modern-day Hogan's Heroes?
