The next 007 movie
SKYFALL
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15558355 3 November 2011 Last updated at 08:07 ET Bond film called Skyfall By Tim Masters, Entertainment and arts correspondent, BBC News The title of the 23rd James Bond film has been confirmed as Skyfall. The latest 007 adventure will star Daniel Craig for the third time. Leading ladies have been confirmed as French actress Berenice Marlohe and Naomie Harris. Skyfall is being directed by Sam Mendes, who won an Oscar for 1999's American Beauty. Mendes said the storyline will take the secret agent to London, China, Turkey and Scotland. It will see Bond's loyalty tested to M, his superior, while espionage headquarters MI6 faces an attack. The movie, which sees the return of Dame Judi Dench as spy boss M, will also star Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney and Javier Bardem as the villain of the piece. It will be released in the UK on 26 October 2012. Craig told reporters in London that the cast would start filming sequences for the new movie later on Thursday. Much speculation about the new film has focused on what Mendes will bring to the franchise, with some suggesting he will tone down - or even abandon altogether - the action sequences. But the director denied that this was the case. He told reporters in London that the "fantastic script" had "all the elements of a classic Bond movie, including - to quell any rumours - lots of action". When asked what fans could expect from the latest film, he added: "The movie will reveal everything, and there's lots of surprises." Producer Barbara Broccoli said no-one had yet been chosen to write and perfom the Bond theme tune. Financial troubles Next year marks the 50th anniversary of the first Bond movie, 1962's Dr No. James Bond is one of the longest-running franchises in film history, but Bond 23 will mark the end of a four year gap. The last 007 outing was in 2008's Quantum of Solace, directed by Marc Forster. Work on the 23rd film was suspended in April 2010 because of uncertainty over the company's future. The franchise had been on hold amid financial troubles, with MGM filing for bankruptcy protection last November. A rescue deal and restructuring plan put US firm Spyglass Entertainment at the helm of MGM, which had struggled due to several box office flops and a DVD sales slump. Craig - who made his Bond debut in Casino Royale in 2006 - is the sixth actor to play the British secret agent in the official Bond series. Sir Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Sir Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan preceded him in the iconic role. Casino Royale, was the most successful instalment in the franchise's 49-year history, making $594m (£385m) worldwide. Last edited by Frankie; 11-03-2011 at 09:34 AM.. |

I went back and rewatched Quantum of Solace a little while ago, and it really was damn good. That mountainside car chase at the beginning was gripping.

This is my most anticipated upcoming, non-superhero film.
I always liked Connery, but Craig is the new best Bond. |

You might as well make it a "Bourne" movie and go ahead and cast Matt Damon as Bond, it would be the same thing.

Bond films were around long before Bourne was even created.
They're also pretty different character with different plots. The feel of the movies is just similar. |

Yep. Bond is all about the suave debonair character carried off so perfectly by Connery. Craig is like a little guy trying hard. He isn't bad, he just isn't Bond.

Well everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Personally, I love him as Bond. I think Brosnan was the most Bond-y in terms of looks, voice and debonair-ness, but his movies sucked. Connery was probably the second most Bond-y and he had the best movies before the Craig films.
The way I look at it: they basically rebooted Bond with Casino Royale. He received his 00 title in that film and he's basically still a rookie. For that fact he's still a bit rough around the edges in character. |

It was a good Bond movie. George Lazenby actually wasn't too bad in it, but he had the misfortune of being the replacement to a legend. |

Not because I disagree. But because there is now one, ONE, similarity of thoughts between me and this guy. |

Brosnan was just subject to a shitty script with way too much over the top action and cheesy one liners. Goldeneye was good though. |
