It's only been a day since the news Bond 25 has been pushed back two months was announced. The film was set for a Valentine's Day release in 2020, but now it's set for Easter, April 8, 2020. Now there's another upset - a new screenwriter has been reportedly hired to work on the script for Daniel Craig 's final Bond outing. According to The Playlist , Eon Productions has got Scott Z. Burns on board to rewrite the script originally penned by Bond stalwarts Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. The report says Burns won't be just tinkering with the script, but instead a big script overhaul has begun. The Playlist dubs Burns "one of the top emergency rescue script doctors in Hollywood".

This is an increase of four percentage points from 2017. In comparison with “traditionalists” — those who get their news from newspapers — that figure also stood at 27% in 2018, but it was a drop of 4pp from 31% on the year previous.What about everyone else?
