Bond 22 Targeting Nov. 7, 2008
Source: The Hollywood Reporter September 1, 2006 Columbia Pictures has moved James Bond 22 -- the yet-to-be-named film that will be produced after November's Casino Royale -- to Nov. 7, 2008, rather than the original date of May 2, 2008, where it was in competition with Jon Favreau's Iron Man adaptation. Sony Pictures Entertainment vice chairman Jeff Blake told The Hollywood Reporter that the studio, along with partners MGM and British production company EON Prods., are in talks to bring on a new director after Roger Michell (Notting Hill) bowed out of the project. The new date also gives the filmmakers the standard two years to complete the next film -- the usual time between Bond movies. "Eighteen months was a very short window," Blake said. "We're going to stay the course." Daniel Craig will star as 007 in the 22nd Bond film as well. |

A little bit about the plot.
The New Casino Royale Trailer Hits! Source: Sony Pictures September 7, 2006 Moviefone has your first look at the new trailer for Sony Pictures' Casino Royale, the 21st James Bond film directed by Martin Campbell and starring Daniel Craig as 007. The movie, opening November 17, is based on the first Bond book written by Ian Fleming. James Bond's first "007" mission leads him to Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen), banker to the world's terrorists. In order to stop him, and bring down the terrorist network, Bond must beat Le Chiffre in a high-stakes poker game at Casino Royale. Bond is initially annoyed when a beautiful British Treasury official, Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), is assigned to deliver his stake for the game and watch over the government's money. But, as Bond and Vesper survive a series of lethal attacks by Le Chiffre and his henchmen, a mutual attraction develops leading them both into further danger and events that will shape Bond's life forever. |

Love Daniel Craig in Layer Cake and Enduring Love, but I wasn't very excited about this one until viewing the new trailer

So now that this movie turning out to look like prequal how does everyone feel about them making Bond 21 set in modern day but taking place before the days of Connery and having the current M and Q?

Anybody going to see this tomorrow?

I'll be seeing it, probably in a week or so when it comes out here...looks great...kind of like the movie equivalent for if they did an "ultimate JB" comic, origin story set in the modern day.
Looks like some awesome stunt coreography too...aren't many guys that don't end up seeing the Bond films, IMO, eventually...I'll be catching this on bigscreen, for sure. |
re Casino Royale
Should be seeing it this weekend.
***Spolier Alert *** (sort of) 1. A question was posed about Bonds' promotion : In this film this is where he gets his "00" status. 2. Bond does not beat Le Chiffre at the Poker table. 3. The producer's have said that Casino Royale is merely the first part of a "new" story and will be properly concluded with the next film. 4. By all accounts (recent reviews) Daniel Craig is as good as the Connery version, some say that this is one of the best Bond films yet. |
