You must remember, though, that that title is (for now at least) just a rumour - and one that I can't honestly see being true ...
Ont the whole, I'm happy that there's finally some forward momentum on Bond 23. Judi Dench confirmed last week that she'll be reprising her role as M for a 7th time, so that's at least one positive piece of news to tide us over .

What legal resons?.......the Bond movies are made at MGM and Albert R. Broccoli and his pal back in the day brought the rights not like the rights went to another studio so i don't know what nonsense your on about
They still need to keep it serious like they have been.

You say that like it's a bad thing. All three Bourne films are good action films. Gadgets is one of the reasons the Bond films got out of hand in the first place. Sooner or later, it all becomes a formula. I thought the gadgets were fine in the previous two films. Technology has advanced so much that a smartphone is something that everybody is walking around with.
yeah its Skyfall.This looks promising.I love the casting choices.Not sure who Bardem is but Finney and Fiennes are great actors.Look forward to seeing them.
It is a bad thing, The Bond movies have always been about the gadgets. I don't think there was too much in Dr. No, but from FRWL to DAD and a little bit in Casino Royal there has always been gadgets.
for me the first Bourne was great after that i didn't really like them.
Good God, has it really been almost a year since I last posted to the KMC ??? This obviously constitutes a massive oversight on my part ... but, in any case, am glad to be back .
Yes, it seems that Bond 23 (aka "Skyfall" ) has really kicked into high gear during this past month. And the omens are looking very good indeed - a Sam Mendes film starring Daniel Craig, with a story by Peter "Frost/Nixon" Morgan and a screenplay co-written by John "Gladiator" Logan, featuring Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, Javier Bardem, plus the return of a much missed, well-loved gadget master? I'm mentally booking my seat already ! I think that most people agreed that, whether they liked it or not, "Quantum Of Solace" just didn't live up to the illustrious standard set by its immediate predecessor; here's hoping that "Skyfall" puts things back on track!
Darth Martin is indeed correct, Kazenji. In the early 60's, Ian Fleming was sued by a gentleman called Kevin McClory, who claimed that Fleming had not credited his contribution to the novel "Thunderball". Several years of legal wrangling between McClory and the Broccoli estate followed, which ultimately meant that the character seen in the opening credits of "FYEO" - obviously meant to be Blofeld - could not be credited as such; the legal situation also allowed McClory to produce his own version of "Thunderball" in the 80s - "Never Say Never Again". With McClory now having passed, I am uncertain as to what the current legal situation is with regards to the use of Blofeld in future Bond movies; would be interesting to see if he ever turns up to square off against 007 again!
