“Boyle apparently insisted on bringing in his frequent collaborator John Hodge to pen a new script, the existing one by long-serving Bond writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade being put on ice. According to another industry source, this “infuriated” producer Barbara Broccoli.” – Guardian, UK

As for Tomasz Kot I am not familiar with his work but read that his performance in Cold War was well received. Not sure what the struggle between Craig and Boyle was but Boyle probably already had some one else in mind for the villain.

Oh well was really looking forward to DB taking on this franchise. Very disappointed. But E. Wright or Jean-Marc Vallee get the job I’d be somewhat placated. Though I would still like see these people get a chance instead:

Nolan
Denis Villeneuve
Joseph Kosinski
Doug Liman
Matthew Vaughn
