Daniel To Do Third Bond

Daniel Craig WILL be back for a third outing as 007.

The confirmation comes as the 22nd James Bond, Quantum Of Solace, gets its world premiere in London on Wednesday night.

When asked if Daniel would return for another outing, producer Barbara Broccoli told Heart that Daniel returning is a dead cert, she replied: “On please! Are you kidding? He’s got to come back, we’re not going to let him go. Are you crazy?”

Co-producer Michael G Wilson added: “It would be insane not to bring him back. He is the greatest Bond right now and the people love him.”

He also confirmed that work was due to start on the next Bond movie.

When quizzed by reporters about how long he intends to stay on in the role of James Bond, Craig said he will "make as many as I can" and added that he is contracted to star in four 007 outings. "Quantum of Solace" is his second, following up the box-office smash "Casino Royale" where he made his debut in the famous tuxedo in 2006.

You just insulted 90% of today's Hollywood action movies lol

First time it's PG13 lol

age below 13 cannot get in cinema

No, it's parental guidance for children below 13. But in any case, what does it mean, first time PG13?

Daniel Craig talks about the future of JAMES BOND

For the next film, they can either use the deleted ending as their start point, or they can pretend that it never happened and just begin fresh.

And according to Daniel Craig, that’s what they’re going to do. When asked if the next “Bond” would be part of a trilogy, he said, “No f***ing way. I’m done with that story. I want to lie on a beach for the first half an hour of the next movie drinking a cocktail.”

While he was obviously kidding about lying on the beach for the first thirty minutes, I’m sure he meant every word about the next “Bond” movie starting fresh.  In fact, he had a few ideas about what he wants to do and they sound really good. Here’s what he said:

“We’ve finished this story as far as I’m concerned. We’ve got a great set of bad guys. There is an organization that we can use whenever we want to. The relationship between Bond and M is secure and Felix is secure. Let’s try and find where Moneypenny came from and where Q comes from. Let’s do all that and have some fun with it.”

The way he’s talking about the future, the next film might feature a return to the technology that’s been missing in these first two Daniel Craig “Bond” movies. In fact, the introduction of Q could be a main part of the movie. Maybe Bond has to rescue Q from whatever bad guys are in the next movie and turn him. Maybe he’s a genius inventor that the entire world wants and that’s the way they can introduce his ability to invent gadgets for future movies. The possibilities are endless.

I thought before this it's all for above 18 only? They did censor right?

The name's Boyle... Danny Boyle


Danny ... mocked up as Bond

SLUMDOG Millionaire director DANNY BOYLE has been asked to take charge of the next James Bond movie.

Down-to-earth Danny is hot property in Hollywood after his Mumbai-set film became an Oscar sensation.

And Bond chief Barbara Broccoli, who now heads the huge 007 franchise at EON Productions, is leading the chase for his services.

Manchester-born Danny, 52, has insisted in interviews that big budgets are not important to him.

But the grittier direction Bond films have taken since DANIEL CRAIG took the role has changed his view about the blockbusters.

Bombarded

He is also pals with CALLUM MCDOUGAL — who shot the 2000 film The Beach with him and is now a Bond producer.

A source said: “Danny is the man of the moment and he is being bombarded with offers from studios.

“He has been offered the chance to direct the 23rd Bond film by Barbara. The EON team love his vision and think that it would work perfectly for the new look of Bond.

“Danny has always insisted he is more interested in the film than the money.

“However, with Daniel Craig’s involvement and the way the films are now structured — with the emphasis on the characters and plot rather than gags and gadgets — it is right up Danny’s street.

“Everyone on the EON team thinks Danny would be a fantastic addition to the Bond family.”

Danny was named Best Director as Slumdog — starring DEV PATEL and FREIDA PINTO — picked up eight Oscars.

It also won four Golden Globes and seven Baftas.

His previous films include Shallow Grave, Trainspotting and 28 Days Later.

just managed to *ahem* the whole series of Bond movies from the very 1st one, Dr No[1962] til the latest Casino Royale. Gonna do a marathon on this alrdy. QoS? not clear yet... :

'Slumdog Millionaire' director Danny Boyle is not set to direct the next James Bond movie

Perhaps it was wishful thinking from some die-hard James Bond fans, or maybe Danny Boyle looks really good in a tux. Whatever the reasoning, the rumor that the British Slumdog Millionaire Oscar winner is in line to direct the next Bond movie is not true, EW has learned. "I enjoy the Bond movies, always have and always will, but I have no plans to direct one," Boyle says via e-mail. "I don't know who came up with the story, but please tell them I'm very flattered to be thought of!"

Morgan Says "Bond 23" Is 'Shocking'



While he couldn’t discuss a great deal about the film, scribe Peter Morgan said we can expect ‘a shocking story’ for the next James Bond feature reports MI6.

Currently in Vienna, Morgan was at work on the first draft of the "Bond 23" script from July to October of this year. He's known for his scripts for "The Queen," "The Last King of Scotland," "Frost/Nixon" and "The Damned United",

Pre-production work on the film however has now been put on hold until February as the heavily in debt MGM, through which EON Productions release the 007 pictures, is up for sale.

Despite the issues it's expected that filming will commence at the end of 2010 for a release November 2011.

It’s Official: MGM Scraps the Next Installment in the James Bond Franchise

It’s sad, dear readers, but apparently very true: Ain’t It Cool News is reporting today that MGM has officially canceled the next installment of the James Bond series while it continues to figure out how to deal with its currentl financial woes. Although I’m not surprised by the news, it’s still a very tough pill to swallow. In this wonky writer’s extremely humble opinion, Daniel Craig helped reinvigorate a franchise that had grown impossibly stale, and the fact that he won’t be able to continue redefining this iconic character is grossly disappointing. Way to go, MGM. First you complicate “The Hobbit”, now you’re screwing with Bond. Insert angry fist shaking and colorful expletives here.

In the meantime, I suppose I’ll have to fill this particularly devastating vacancy with extremely low-quality bootleg episodes of the ill-fated cartoon series “James Bond, Jr.” That’s how truly and unapologetically pathetic I am.

It’s Official: Bond 23 is a Go



Well, after a lot of fits and starts and money troubles, it looks like a Sam Mendes-directed Bond movie (that’ll be #23, in case you’re keeping track at home) is finally, officially a go for production. MGM made the announcement themselves in a short but sweet press release:



So there you have it, Bond fans. The still untitled Bond 23 will commence production late 2011 for a November 9, 2012 release.

FECK YEAH...

Been way too long! Don't dissapoint me like quantum of solace!

i never understood what was so disappointing about that movie.

Actly for me, the identity of Bond was not really displayed in QoS. His charm, his dashingness, his suave, his way of handling situation, not up to par.

I thought they scrap the charm and dashingness when Daniel Craig fill-in the shoes of Bond? 

Weren't there what they call it the most rugged Bond ever? 

Yay! "Casino Royale" was great, "Quantum of Solace" was equally fantastic... and now they're making the third. Bring it on!

Just don't hurt any stunt drivers...

So who is the bond girl?

Actly for me, the identity of Bond was not really displayed in QoS. His charm, his dashingness, his suave, his way of handling situation, not up to par.

I dunno why, but seeing your posts back to back kinda funny.

Anyways, it'll be interesting to see where they take this rebooted franchise, now that the origin story + Eva Green story arc has ended. Will this Bond be the suave Bond or is he still finding his footing in the world of espionage, etc, etc.

I also look back and  at this.

I mean, they report was like this and then now they report is like that. MGM sure have a funny way of doing business...

And weren't they said declare bankrupt and then now like as if its okay? 

Not MGM's fault. I have other sources of Hollywood news, and I never heard anything about "officially" scrapping the next Bond movie. On the other hand, I have heard the latest news that the movie is finally on.

Conclusion? Beyondhollywood.com sucks. I dunno why people here always quote them.

Probably because they get their sources from other sources 

And most of the time is rather true...

A good news source will check their sources. They will make sure it's 100% true before they publish a headline that goes "It's Confirmed".

Looks like they got it from Aintitcoolnews.com. Which is known for not being very credible.

Dark Horizons is much more reliable, guys.

about the ending ... didn't Bond like ... get the bad guy who killed Eva Green's character in the end of QoS? And also captured the fake boyfriend?

For me Daniel is a fail for bond character. So what if he has chiseled body? He looks too old. And there is no air of charm in him at all!!! He looks like a blardy russian or nazi german. So what if he has acting credentials? Most of my buddies who likes bond movies since Roger Moore days says he is not good replacement since Pierce. We people want to see people. Not some story that is suppoed to romanticised the politically correct "Bond" stories. All of them were corny and it works. It sells. Money to be made.

These last 2 seems to be milked by Sony for their hardware sales rather than us u are paying for tickets. Get real!! Daniel no good for Bond!!!

MGM had stated this fall that audiences could expect the next Bond adventure in November 2012, but this is the first time the company has given a firm date for the film. Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli of EON

Productions, together with Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum, the co-chairmen and chief executive officers of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, announced the film's release date, also confirming what has long been suspected: James Bond

23" film will unite Daniel Craig -- playing Bond for the third time following stints in 2006's "Casino Royale" and 2008's "Quantum of Solace" -- with director Sam Mendes ("American Beauty," "Road to Perdition").

Frankly, who's the best Bond of them all? I have a hard time to choose either Roger Moore or Sean Connery.

QOS suck, i dont like it,
i kinda have high expectations for QOS since Casino Royale was one of the best Bond movies imo (haters gonna hate)

i hope bond 23 gonna go back to basics like old bond movies with Q,the gadgets, moneypenny, n over the top action sequence
but not too cartoony like Die another day(which i doubt they ever gonna do in Craig's era)
i want something like Goldeneye
n i hope the use less cgi too, the free falling scene in QOS should have been more awesome if it was not done with green screen

n i want to hear the bond theme more often during the film
but dont spam the theme to often like in tomorrow never dies

You are horribly picky with ur Bond films.

Its good.

Bond 23 to Shoot in India: Reports



James Bond could well be returning to India for a second time (after 1983's Octopussy) to shoot sequences for the 23rd installment of the franchise, according to local media reports Tuesday.

The Mid-Day newspaper quoted an unnamed source stating, “(Bond 23) Director Sam Mendes recently made a hush-hush visit to Mumbai along with production designer Terry Bamber in mid-April for the film's recce. The movie will be shot in Mumbai and Goa during the monsoon season on a month-long schedule.”

The monsoon season begins in late June for about two months. The western resort town of Goa was also featured in a car chase sequence in 2004's The Bourne Supremacy.

The report also indicated that line production for Bond 23 will be handled by Mumbai-based India Take One Productions which worked on Slumdog Millionaire; the outfit also handled line production for director Ang Lee's Life Of Pi starring Tobey Maguire that recently filmed in southern India.

The last time the James Bond franchise visited India was with the Roger Moore-starrer Octopussy that was shot in Agra and Udaipur with the film featuring Indian actor Kabir Bedi and a guest appearance by well-known tennis star Vijay Amritraj.

Meanwhile, Mumbai has also seen a recent shoot for the upcoming Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol that filmed some second unit shots in the city. Online portal Rediff.com recently posted some pictures of the shoot featuring a body double for Tom Cruise seen with a BMW sports car.

Directed by Brad Bird, MI:4 will also feature popular Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor (Slumdog Millionaire) in his first mainstream Hollywood outing after the actor last year featured in the final season of Fox TV's 24 show.

India has also served as a location for another recent international production, director Roland Joffe's Singularity starring Josh Hartnett, Neve Campbell and Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu.

Daniel Craig Wanders Around the Set of Skyfall



I’ve never been much of a James Bond fan. He was always a bit too dapper and sophisticated for me, almost unbearably so once Roger Moore came aboard. All of that changed when Daniel Craig took the reigns, transforming the on-screen version of Bond from a well-mannered British snot into a rough-and-tumble badass who isn’t afraid to take a few whacks to his genitals. The batch of images from the set of “Skyfall” aren’t that impressive, mind you, but at least we know for certain that Craig is finally heading back to the franchise. That, of course, is all sorts of awesome.

Here’s a brief synopsis of the film:

   

Sam Mendes’ “Skyfall” stars, Dame Judi Dench, Naomie Harris, Berenice Marlohe, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, and Ben Whishaw. Javier Bardem will play the villain. Awesome? Awesome.

If give you an opinion, who cud be suitable person to be Mr Bond beside Craig?

After watching Jeremy Renner in suit on MI:4 he actually reminds me of Daniel Craig. Too bad he's not English man

from my opinion i wud choose Jason Statham or Gerard Butler..they both good in action, have that romantic sense and firstly they both are English man.

Jason Statham and Gerard Butler ? Not a chance, they lack the persona of James Bond character. Michael Fassbender yes. Dude got style.

For me Gerard Butler is bland. Stathom has a very cool aura around him but he isn't Bond. How about Tom Hardy? He probably looks a bit too young now but come the retirement of Craig he may just be up for it.

Joseph-Gordon Levitt as Bond...James Bond Jr.

If a reboot is imminent, why not change it all up. But Craig is set for a few more Bond films after Skyfall.

JGL doesn't have that Bond look, so he'll never cut it. Plus he's American isn't he?

Brosnan was a good Bond, but his type will never make it in today's cinema. Now people want a charismatic actor with a more brute edge as well. You can thank Jason Bourne for that. Next to Craig, Brosnan is a sissy.

how come people easily dismiss roger moore

he and connery are both the most iconic bond actors

daniel craig or brosnan doesn't even come close

granted sean connery was the first to popularize bond to what it is today. but the franchise longevity and ability to survive until now is because of roger moore

when he took on the role, bond franchise had lost some of its original charm and debonair. and had to compete with other action films at the time with stars like clint eastwood and steve mcqueen

moore's approach to the character may have been too light-hearted or comical compared to connery. but i say that is part of the charm and the appealing thing about moore's bond. and at that, he played it superbly and far better than connery

yes, connery did make classic flawless bond films, but then so did roger moore. the series owes him a lot and yet he is underrated by today's audience

i guess it's trendy to dismiss roger moore's bond on trivial matters. aston martins and martinis? give me a break
