James Bond 25 - Teaser Trailer [HD] (2019 Movie) New James Bond Action Movie, Daniel Craig (FanMade). November 8th 2019 with traditional earlier releases in the UK etc. 007 new movie, James. Dec 21, 2018 - The Bond 25 release date has been delayed to 2020. Originally, Bond 25 was scheduled to release on October 25, 2019 in the UK, and a little later on November 8, 2019 in the States but Danny Boyle's unexpected departure as director naturally threw several spanners in the works.

'Bond 25' is coming in 2019 and while a director is not yet attached to the project, the screenplay is being written by the BAFTA winning Neal Purvis and Robert Wade who wrote the previous six movies - most recently 2015's 'Spectre'. Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson are producing, with Gregg Wilson credited as associate producer.

But what of Daniel Craig's involvement? He's previously stated that he'd rather 'slash [his] wrists' than be in a fifth James Bond movie, but in recent months he's been less disparaging about the franchise. Still, that doesn't mean that he's up for the 25th 007 project, even if the New York Times are saying he is.

The publication claimed they were told by an anonymous source that Daniel's return was 'a done deal', but we'll have to wait until a 'later date' to hear that news officially. It is, however, unlikely that Sam Mendes - who directed both 'Spectre' and 2012's 'Skyfall' - will be back on board for round three, especially as he's set to start work on a forthcoming thriller entitled 'The Voyeur's Motel'.

Christopher Nolan marks a possibility for the next director, having previously told Playboy that he's up for the challenge. 'I've spoken to the producers over the years', he revealed. 'I deeply love the character, and I'm always excited to see what they do with it. Maybe one day that would work out.'

If it turns out that Daniel Craig will not be doing 'Bond 25', bookmakers' websites have been taking bets on a number of other actors including Idris Elba, Tom Hiddleston, Damian Lewis, Tom Hardy, Aidan Turner, Jack Huston and James Norton.
