Producer Danny Boyle, who stood out as truly newsworthy a year ago over his takeoff from Bond 25, says the key takeaway from the experience is the acknowledgment that he isn't "cut out" for establishment film.

The Oscar-winning movie producer had in August a year ago dropped out of the undertaking alongside his colleague, screenwriter John Hodge over "innovative contrasts" with the makers.

Boyle was supplanted by True Detective and Maniac chief Cary Joji Fukunaga.

In a meeting with Metro, the 62-year-old chief said he will never take on a major studio establishment again.

"I learned my lesson that I am not cut out (for franchises) otherwise you're digging in the same hole. I am better not quite in the mainstream franchise movies is the honest answer. I learned quite a lot about myself with Bond. I work in partnership with writers and I am not prepared to break it up," Boyle said.

"We were working very, very well, but they didn't go down that route with us. So we decided to part company. It would be unfair to say what it was because I don't know what Cary (Fukunaga) is going to do," he included.

The movie producer is right now advancing his up and coming melodic parody Yesterday. Enlivened by The Beatles, the film, with a screenplay by Richard Curtis, depends on Jack Barth's story.

It highlights Indian starting point on-screen character Himesh Patel ahead of the pack as Jack Malik close by Lily James, artist lyricist Ed Sheeran and Kate McKinnon.

Bond 25 will stamp Craig's fifth trip as acclaimed British government agent following Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Specter.

French star Lea Seydoux, who played therapist Madeleine Swann in Sam Mendes' Specter, is additionally returning. The film will discharge on April 3, 2020, in the UK.
