Wade & Purvis Talk James Bond 21 Script Source: Empire Online Tuesday, March 9, 2004
Empire magazine caught up with "James Bond" writers Robert Wade and Neal Purvis who said they've started penning James Bond 21.
"We started writing the new one two weeks ago – so obviously all the cliches are already in place," says Purvis. "As far as we understand it, Pierce Brosnan is Bond. He's a great Bond and he gives you a lot to work with as a writer because he's very good looking. Seriously, he is very good at suggesting an undercurrent of – you don't know what. He shows that there is a shadow on this man."
Wade added that he doesn't think "there's a more difficult task. It's all been done. The twentieth film was harder than the nineteenth. It's very difficult to think of new ways to blow things up! But character is the thing; it's finding new ways to explore the character."
