It was announced today by producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. and Sony Pictures Entertainment, that the 22nd James Bond adventure will be released by Columbia Pictures on May 2, 2008 with Daniel Craig reprising the role of the legendary British secret agent.

The story for the latest James Bond film produced by the franchise holders, EON Productions has yet to be announced.

"As we wrap production on 'Casino Royale' we couldn't be more excited about the direction the franchise is heading with Daniel Craig. Daniel has taken the origins of Ian Fleming's James Bond portraying, with emotional complexity, a darker and edgier 007," said Wilson and Broccoli.

Good news indeed.

Agreed.

This new Bond is going to rock.

Being hard-boilded, a killer who is taken from Navy Seal type commando/intelligence agent, and being made into the dashing playboy who loves gambling, ladies, and gadgets, is an awesome way to approach a reboot.

(and rings truer to the original Bond that Ian Flemming wrote, which you can see in the early Connery movies. He is suave and sophisticated, but also a deadly killer.)

I think most of the shit-talkers will be eating humble pie after Casino Royale is released and they have seen it.

I will be here to offer it to them in pieces or whole.

Then to talk about this new film.

I've seen the trailer like..fifteen different times. And it STILL looks fkn amazing. It's going to be much more cinematic and have a lot more drama to it. It'll turn a lot of people off, but fk 'em.

L L!

I'll be looking forward to this. Casino Royale took Bond to a whole new level and it'll be cool to see them continue from there.

I hope in the next one we'll see the dawn of a "Q" character. One thing that disappointed me about Casino Royale is there was no cool gadget scene.

i think the gadgets will come in time as this era of the series continues

Why does there need to be any gadgets!?

I saw Casino Royale last night and was impressed.

Daniel Craig is the best Bond ever.

tracking on his cell phone? some shit in his car. It was more basic but it was there.

Casino royale isn't just the best bond movie EVER it's possibly my movie of the year... awesome. Can't wait for the sequel...

if its anything like casino royale it should be pretty good...

More news, seems the new film won't have the same director as Casino Royale:


"Casino Royale helmer Martin Campbell told press at the Chinese premiere for the film on Monday that he would not likely be directing the next Bond film despite the global success of the 21st installment.

Campbell also directed the first Pierce Brosnan 007 film, GoldenEye.

Screenwriters Robert Wade and Neal Purvis said earlier this week that they expect shooting to start at the beginning of next year.

James Bond 22 is currently scheduled for a November 7, 2008 release with Daniel Craig returning as the super spy."

BUMP!

This new film will be out next summer.

What do you all want to see in it, or what do you think is going to happen?

I read somewhere that this would be Daniel Craigs last james bond movie.

I don't like how that sounds.

I think he's pulling our legs.

The new style of Casino Royale was one of the best Bond films ever, and people ate it up.

Surely they wouldn't be stupid enough to make it all hammy now would they?

Daniel Craig makes an interesting Bond. I have to see his second appearance as Bond to really judge him.

I Sure as Hell hope he IS pulling our legs!!

Casino Royale was so freakin good; Craig was perfect in how he played bond. Less gaget, more tough no nonsense Bond=great bond film.

The "Hammy" factor was what made the Pierce Bond films, IMO, crappy.

BUMP.

Right then, time for some updates.

This film is less than a year away, coming out in November of 2008.

A few nice tidbits:

1.) Bond will be driving the Aston Martin DBS from the last film again.

2.) The main villain has been cast: Mathieu Amalric

3.) The villain's main henchman has been cast: Anatole Taubmann

4.) Daniel craig has singed up for four more Bond films (including this one) for a total of five.

Sounds promising, I can't wait for this one!

Oh, and it picks up right after Casino Royale left off. And 4 more movies?! Hooray!

Actually, Daniel Craig has recently denied the reports that he is signed on for 4 more movies, claiming that he's actually only contracted at present for Bond 22. Check out the story here: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/a81029/craig-contracted-for-next-bond-film-only.html

I have no idea what the real story is here ... but personally, I hope that Craig does at least 2 more Bond films before he bows out of the franchise. But who knows?

I didn't like Daniel Craig as James Bond...

Ah.. so YOU'RE the one.

I am looking forward to seeing Craig back as 007 he left a rather favorable impression on me with Casino.

Barbara Broccoli

Craig is arguably the best Bond and up there with Sean Connery and Roger Moore with only one movie. Yes he was that good! Can't wait for the next installment.

I've said it before and ill say it again - I didnt like Daniel Craig. He gave a great performance for sure, but I dont think he performed as Bond. Every time I watch the movie I have to keep reminding myself that this guy is meant to be the legendary, suave, charasmatic British spy. It just doesnt come across for me.

I think Craig could end up out-Bonding Connery somewhere down the line, he's so good. And that's saying something.

Roger Moore was a bit too campy. I'm pretty sure that he's your favorite because Christopher Lee starred in TMWTGG.

I hope the movie is good, i have a different problem i actually liked craig as bond...i will agree he is nowhere in the looks department and seems like an aged heroine junky...but i think he is a good actor who did a great job as bond....the movie was horrible an almost unwatchable, thats my problem, and i think it was the problem for bronson and dalton which i thought did great bonds

The movie has to be good

From the sound of it ("seeking revenge" Bond is going to go a little rogue in this one. I believe the term is Alpha Protocol.

We got a glimpse of a rogue Bond in Licence to Kill, so it will be interesting to see where they take the theme now. I think Craig is perfectly suited to play Renegade!Bond.

I couldn't tell you how I feel about Licence to Kill because it really didn't stand out enough for me to remember it but with the gritty realism which is in style these days I am sure this new one will be a good movie. youpi
