The Trades has posted a great interview with "James Bond" franchise writers Robert Wade and Neal Purvis in which they talk about the 22nd film.

Wade told the site that you shouldn't bet on Q and Moneypenny to return just yet. "With the way 'Casino Royale' ends, you know there’s still unfinished business for Bond. He may say, 'The name's Bond, James Bond,' but there's still a lot of stuff churning up inside him. So, if you're going to explore that, and we’ve got this great actor to do that with, what you don’t want to do is suddenly clamp it down with all these familiar elements that keep your focus off him. He's the great asset."

Purvis added that it would be easier to add Moneypenny to the storyline. "Q presents more problems. People have all got gadgets now. Other films have lots of gadgets as well…The idea of Q coming back, for the moment, it's just not a high priority."

Wade debunked the rumor that the next film would be based on Ian Fleming's short story, "Risico," but he had no comment about whether Vesper's Algerian boyfriend would be one of the villains in James Bond 22.

About the schedule, Wade said "The idea is for the movie to start shooting at the beginning of next year."

In related news, CommanderBond.net says that Giancarlo Giannini, who played Rene Mathis in Casino Royale, has confirmed that he will appear once again in the next film. For a spoiler on why he will return, click here.

Ahh man beginning of next year.

 

[Golgo-13]

Great news. I agree that bringing in 'Q' would be a little cliche right now, but a minute cameo of Moneypenny wouldn't hurt anything. And the spoiler about Mathis is good..i liked his character and will help make Bond 22 feel in the same continuity as Casino Royale.

 

[Gonking]

Vesper's boyfriend the villain? that would be interesting

 

[The Punisher]

Awesome. Can't wait to hear more. Who the villian could be is interesting.

 

[kidbateman]

great news. and it does suck that it wont begin filming until next year. Doesnt Daniel Craig have whole lot of stuff that he is working on now?

 

[Darth Elektra]

Ahh man beginning of next year.

Yeah, crap.

screw this

no really. guess where these "other" films got the idea from in the first place?! BOND! bond doesn't have to have gadgets, but what's wrong with some spy equipment that has more to it than its appearance?


bah

 

[johnsonuk]

have to say i like what i read.i hope they stick to what they are saying.

 

[The Punisher]

great news. and it does suck that it wont begin filming until next year. Doesnt Daniel Craig have whole lot of stuff that he is working on now?

Yes, his latest movie I think will be with Nicole Kidman.

 

[Reek]

wish they woulda released Casion Royale in 2007...2007 just woulda been a cool marketing ploy and what a year to bring bond back..

 

[Darth Elektra]

Doesnt Daniel Craig have whole lot of stuff that he is working on now?

Yes, He's in a movie with Nicole Kidman, called the 'Invasion'.

 

[kidbateman]

^thanks

 

[Reek]

anyone got any ideas for the next bond title?

Of course everyone thought about it. I think that's the clever move they did, by avoiding it and making it for 2006. Big dates, big events = dumb movies, eg Die Another Day, the 20th Bond film. Anyway, to keep the concept, the DVD release will be in 2007, so it's a split.

 

[Mr.E.Nygma]

Yes, He's in a movie with Nicole Kidman, called the 'Invasion'.

Isn't it "The Golden Compass"? Adapted from Philip Pullman's novel?

 

[JackBauer]

Yes, He's in a movie with Nicole Kidman, called the 'Invasion'.

I'm pretty sure the title changed to "The Visiting". and I hope I'm not the only one who thinks it's pretty f***in stupid.

 

[kidbateman]

^ is that the one about the aliens and stuff. i also heard he is in a film something like the chroniclas of narnia (sorry for incorrect spelling).

 

[matrix_ghost]

craig is doing two movies with kidman.

He's already finished with the invasion which is a loose remake/adaptation of incasion of the bodysnatchers.

He's currently shoothing the golden compass , philip pullman's fantasy book turned movie , also with kidman.

I think after that he'll do I,LUCIFER where he'll play the role of LUCIFER

Hi guys! I´m from Czech and my friend worked on Casino Royale and he told me some informations about next Bond movie:


- Bond 22 will be filmed in the Czech Republic. (It´s true. It´s confirmed.)

- Producers considering these 3 directors:
- Peter Webber (Hannibal Rising)
- Christophe Gans (Silent Hill)
- Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland)

- The new Bond Girl is blonde and she is around 30 years old (Ursula Andress´ Honey Ryder type).
- Vesper will be in flashbacks.
- Vesper´s boyfriend isn´t the main villian, but this character has very big role in this story.
- The main villian is the "unknown" russian businessman.
- The main line of Bond 22 is really emotional romantic drama.


I don´t know if it´s true, but sounds really interesting.

Skeptical post. But IF it's true. The fact that it's a romantic drama sucks.

Of those three directors, i'd say Christophe Gans would be the best.
