Now this sounds interesting:

http://www.comingsoon.net/news.php?id=8215




Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, producers of the James Bond films, and MGM announced today that Martin Campbell will direct Casino Royale, the 21st film in the 007 franchise.

This is Campbell's second time as helmer of a James Bond film. In 1995 he directed the hit Goldeneye which introduced Pierce Brosnan to the role of 007 with great success.

Wilson and Broccoli said: "We are thrilled that Martin has accepted our offer to direct 'Casino Royale'. He is an extremely talented director and we believe he will help take our films in a new and exciting direction. He is currently finishing filming 'Legend Of Zorro', the sequel to 'The Mask Of Zorro', and will be joining EON Productions shortly to work on the development of the script with our writers, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade."

MGM Vice Chairman and COO Chris McGurk said: "Martin is an incredibly exciting filmmaker. 'Goldeneye' was a wonderful movie and helped reinvigorate the Bond franchise. We're thrilled to have him back to direct the newest Bond."

Born in New Zealand, Campbell moved to England in 1966 and made his directorial debut on the popular TV series' The Professionals and Minder. He moved to America in 1986 to direct Criminal Law and Defenceless. Following Goldeneye, he went on to direct The Mask Of Zorro, Vertical Limit and Beyond Borders and is currently directing Legend Of Zorro.

Casino Royale will be released in 2006 and distributed world-wide by MGM. No decision has yet been made regarding casting for the role of 'James Bond'.

Yuck...James Bond movies are boring as hell...But, then I'm not really into action movies...Except for Bulletproof and Long Kiss Good Night...Predator, Total Recall and the Terminator movies...I liked Running Man, but honestly wouldn't have bothered to watch it if it weren't Stephen King's

You could be right Arioch DragonSlayer might very well own Bond. I was thinking if you cross Dragon Slayer with James Bond you get Dragon Heart a movie where former James Bond actor Sean Connery plays the role of the Dragon.
NICE!!!

Now that "Casino Royale" has been named as the next film, the producers have to find a new Bond. These are the names I keep hearing about. Some are interesting, some ...not so interesting.

1. Hugh Jackman-not a bad choice, but I've heard he is too busy with the "X-Men" sequels as well as a "Wolverine" solo movie.

2. Adrian Paul (Highlander)-too damn short

3. Julian McMahon (Charmed-Nip/Tuck) again a decent choice, but might be to busy with his series and the "Fantastic Four" movie.

4. Rory McMann- never seen him act but he looks the part.

5. Clive Owen....nahhh.

well those are the names I mostly have seen , any other choices?

I say offer Brosnan twice as much money and just have him be Bond. And if that does not work offer him 3 times as much. And if that doesnt work offer him stock in Pinewood studios.

Some more news about the new film:

Director Martin Campell on Casino Royale
Source: New York Daily News
February 24, 2005


Martin Campbell, who directed Pierce Brosnan's first turn as James Bond in Goldeneye, is returning for the 21st film Casino Royale, based on the first Bond adventure written by Ian Fleming in 1953. MGM is targeting for a November, 2006 release.

The director talked to the New York Daily News about the movie, which will feature a new actor as 007. "There are things that will have to be changed from the original novel," says Campbell. "The Cold War elements will have to be reconfigured, for example, but 'Casino Royale' will be a grittier, tougher and more realistic Bond movie.

"We'll be getting away from the huge visual effects kind of films," he added. "In the new film, Bond is essentially starting out in his career, and has just recently become part of the double-0 section."

"The idea is to put a bit of the dash back in Bond. By the end of the movie, the character will have been forged into the wiser, harder Bond we know."
