It's now less than a year before the subsequent Bond Movie, now known simply as Bond 23, hits the screens in London on October 26th. In this piece we'll have a look at the data known about the film, which starts filming in Nov 2011, before any official statement over the movie's name or casting details.
Important things first; it has been confirmed that Daniel Craig will return in his third Bond Movie and the director is the highly renowned Sam Mendes, known best for American Beauty and Road to Perdition.
The script has been authored by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade with further work by John Logan. And while no official confirmation has been made per Judi Dench as M, the actress has said that she'll reprise her role.
Another actor who has declared his inclusion is Spanish actor Javier Bardem, though he still has to be confirmed by producers EON Productions; and Ralph Fiennes is strongly rumoured although, once again, there's been no official word.
It is also known that filming in India had been planned, but delays it getting the obligatory permits meant that was abandoned; filming may happen instead in S. A. , although it is known that filming allows have been granted for Istanbul and more rumours put China in the frame.
Another piece of investigator work goes towards pointing at "Skyfall" being the title of Bond 23 after a company registered one or two domains for Sony Footage containing the word Skyfall. While that could be any Sony film, several of the domains also contain "James Bond" in them also , which is pretty definitive.
That's not a lot to go on, but with a press meeting expected when styudio work commences we should soon know more. What's certain is that the many James Bond fans who were unsatisfied with Quantum of Solace want Bond 23 to be an enormous improvement; Casino Royale hit the spot and made the latest generation of fans, but Quantum of Solace was sorely lacking in many areas.
