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 🙂 .
Javier Bardem would be a very welcome addition to Bond 23:
Ralph Fiennes is in talks to join too. This could shape up to be an awesome Bond movie.

Hey guys.I noticed that there wasn't a proper thread for discussion of Bond 23 - so, to rectify that oversight, here it is 😛 .
Daniel Craig confirmed earlier this week that production on Bond 23 will begin at "the end of next year". I'm guessing, then, that we can expect to see it sometime towards the end of 2011 (which seems a long way off I know!).
So then, what do you guys want to see from Bond 23? It's already been confirmed that it will be written by Peter Morgan ("The Queen", "Frost/Nixon"😉, and regular Bond scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade (groan ...), but not much else is known at present (other than that Daniel Craig will once again be playing 007).
I'm guessing that, after the lukewarm critical reception that was received by the downbeat "QOS", that they'll make the tone of the film somewhat lighter (though hopefully without the cheesiness of "DAD"😉. I would also not be surprised if Q, Moneypenny, and gadgetry also found their way back into the franchise ...
I also hope that they'll give at least some kind of closure to the "Quantum" storyline of the last 2 instalments ...
What do you all think?
well its close to the end of 2011 so Im wondering when the new one is coming out?
Heres the title for it

Your not hearing me. Due to legal reasons they cannot mention the characters' name. This is why he wads never referred to as Blofeld in FYEO.They can have a character with similar traits but the name Blofeld, as far as I understand, can't be used.
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.
Originally posted by darthmaul1You 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.

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!
