After a heated bidding war, Universal Pictures has won the international distribution rights and the physical home entertainment rights for the highly-anticipated 25th installment in the long-running James Bond franchise. Meanwhile, MGM and Annapurna will handle domestic distribution as part of their recent joint venture.

The tentatively titled Bond 25, which will see Daniel Craig return as 007 for his fifth adventure, will open in U.K. theaters on October 25, 2019, before making its way to the U.S. two weeks later on November 8, 2019

Academy Award-winner Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) has been confirmed to direct with an original script from his longtime writing partner John Hodge (Trainspotting). Production is expected to begin on December 3.



Looking ahead at the release calendar, Bond 25 will open in a busy November, opposite 20th Century Fox's Death On The Nile and an Untitled Disney live-action film. It will also debut a week after Warner Bros.' Wonder Woman 2 (November 1) and ahead of Paramount's Sonic the Hedgehog (November 15), Skydance's Terminator 6 (November 22), and Disney's Frozen 2 (November 29).

I hope this is back-to-basics, gritty storytelling with a tight plot. Fingers crossed.

Craig will always be my favorite Bond, but didn't he say, "I'd rather break this glass and slash my wrists." when asked about doing another Bond movie?

This should be good because his Bond movies rotate from great to suck.
Casino Royale-Great
Quantum of Solace-Suck
Skyfall- Great
Spectre-Suck

@CplHicks - It's like reverse-Star Trek rules (which I guess makes these the James Bond equivalent of the Kelvin timeline movies).

@CplHicks - wouldn’t say Spectre sucked, it had its good moments for sure and is definitely better then Quantum of Solace

Danny Boyle is a big win. Hope we get to see Bond have some fun. Sprinkle some Goldfinger in there.

Sweet. Dang it I love movies. Nice birthday present. I’m ready for a new Bond but I’m also more than happy to have one more go with Craig especially with a great director like this.
