The next 007 movie
SKYFALL
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15558355 3 November 2011 Last updated at 08:07 ET Bond film called Skyfall By Tim Masters, Entertainment and arts correspondent, BBC News The title of the 23rd James Bond film has been confirmed as Skyfall. The latest 007 adventure will star Daniel Craig for the third time. Leading ladies have been confirmed as French actress Berenice Marlohe and Naomie Harris. Skyfall is being directed by Sam Mendes, who won an Oscar for 1999's American Beauty. Mendes said the storyline will take the secret agent to London, China, Turkey and Scotland. It will see Bond's loyalty tested to M, his superior, while espionage headquarters MI6 faces an attack. The movie, which sees the return of Dame Judi Dench as spy boss M, will also star Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney and Javier Bardem as the villain of the piece. It will be released in the UK on 26 October 2012. Craig told reporters in London that the cast would start filming sequences for the new movie later on Thursday. Much speculation about the new film has focused on what Mendes will bring to the franchise, with some suggesting he will tone down - or even abandon altogether - the action sequences. But the director denied that this was the case. He told reporters in London that the "fantastic script" had "all the elements of a classic Bond movie, including - to quell any rumours - lots of action". When asked what fans could expect from the latest film, he added: "The movie will reveal everything, and there's lots of surprises." Producer Barbara Broccoli said no-one had yet been chosen to write and perfom the Bond theme tune. Financial troubles Next year marks the 50th anniversary of the first Bond movie, 1962's Dr No. James Bond is one of the longest-running franchises in film history, but Bond 23 will mark the end of a four year gap. The last 007 outing was in 2008's Quantum of Solace, directed by Marc Forster. Work on the 23rd film was suspended in April 2010 because of uncertainty over the company's future. The franchise had been on hold amid financial troubles, with MGM filing for bankruptcy protection last November. A rescue deal and restructuring plan put US firm Spyglass Entertainment at the helm of MGM, which had struggled due to several box office flops and a DVD sales slump. Craig - who made his Bond debut in Casino Royale in 2006 - is the sixth actor to play the British secret agent in the official Bond series. Sir Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Sir Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan preceded him in the iconic role. Casino Royale, was the most successful instalment in the franchise's 49-year history, making $594m (£385m) worldwide. Last edited by Frankie; 11-03-2011 at 09:34 AM.. |

Look I could accept Craig as, say the new agent 009 David King. Do a whole series of 009 movies starring him, and I will watch them. But his looks, demeanor, and personality is NOT James Bond. |

Not yet but, that doesn't mean he won't become him (in demeanor and personality anyway). They have been building the character from the ground up, and each movie he seems to take another step to becoming the Bond we expect. Watching the development to see how he gets there is quite interesting I think.

You won't believe and will be super excited about who has just been asked to direct the next James Bond film!!! None other than Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan has just been asked to direct the next bond movie. Your guess is as good as ours if he will accept!

Christopher Nolan to direct next Bond movie? 'Dark Knight' director to take a 007 turn, sources say Will Christopher Nolan land the next Bond film? The Daily Mail reports that the "Inception" director is in "informal talks" to direct the next James Bond movie, stepping in to direct after Sam Mendes decided not to make the follow-up to 'Skyfall.' Mendes withdrew his hat from the directing ring thanks to a very busy schedule, including several theater commitments. Nolan, as the Mail points out, has a no less packed year ahead. He's currently in pre-production for Anne Hathaway flick "Interstellar."

No way Abrams has time between Star Trek and Star Wars at this point.

I wouldn't get too excited. Nolan was talking about doing Bond 3 years ago before Mendes took on Skyfall.

From what I understand, Nolan is interested in directing a Bond film but most likely, it won't be Bond 24 due to his next film, Interstellar.
Of course, these things are always fluid, so he could sign on today. |

And now we've come first circle and they're talking about Mendes coming back after all.

Shut. The. ****. Up. Seriously, that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen/heard that had anything to do with any James Bond movie ever made at any time. Just...no.
