Bond 25: With Danny Boyle’s exit, the latest 007 could miss its release date

The next James Bond movie didn’t just lose a director when Danny Boyle left over creative differences. It may have also forfeited a release date.

Word around town is that it’s back to the drawing board for the creators of the new 007 adventure after Boyle and his co-writer, John Hodge, delivered a draft of the script that didn’t meet the approval of producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, as well as star Daniel Craig. After Boyle exited, MGM and Eon, the film’s backers, sent out the word that they are looking for a writer or a writer-director to come on to the film, according to insiders.
