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.. |

Layer Cake is one of my favorite flicks. I can pop it on and watch it and probably never get tired of seeing it again and again.

I continue to assert that the fight scene with Robert Shaw in the train is one of the most immersive, brutal fights, and that Daniela Bianchi was one of the most stunning women, ever filmed. From Russia With Love is the best Bond movie, in my opinion.

Ironically the weakest of the Connery Bond movies, Diamonds Are Forever, also features a pretty good one on one, close compartment, fight scene in an elevator. Just about my second favorite of all Bond fight scenes.

While I would not rank FRWL as the best Bond movie, I do agree with your first two points. FRWL is vastly underated as far as Bond movies go.

Ive heard for awhile now that On Her Magestys Secret Service was one of the best Bond movies ever and ive never seen it completely. My guess is, if it would have starred Connery it would be more revered.

I have watched OHMSS just once, many years back. I don't remember too much, except that I was not terribly impressed, and that Lazenby just did not fit the Bond mold. One of these days I should give it another chance I suppose.

If by "be more revered", you mean "have been the best Bond ever", then yes. It was everything a Bond movie should be, with some of the strongest characters, finest action sequences, deft plotting, and total surprises that you'll see. Unfortunately, it starred George Lazenby, who was a complete disaster as Bond. I could have better in that role, and I was two at the time.
