23rd James Bond Movie Officially Announced!

[Steven P. Administrators]

Soooo it's being released on my fortieth birthday!

[Teebor]

I much prefer Dniel Craig after watching a documentary about the agents of the time that the James Bond character is based on, Daniel Craig's portayal is much more accurate to the types of people who would have really done this kind of thing

[MR_Candyman]

I enjoyed both the Daniel Craig Bond movies. I'm looking forward to this.

Casino Royale was great, didn't understand anything of the whole story of Quantum of Solace though. Shame they killed Vesper, I liked her (in a non-sexual way).

I liked her in a highly sexual way :shifty:

I got tired of seeing bond having stupid gadgets like a Grill inside his watch and a Sauna inside the lining of his pockets and constant one liners that made your teeth stand on end...bleugh.

If they can repeat Casion Royale then i'll be happy. Straight to the point, no nonsense neck breaking gun slanging mo'fo.

Hopefully more Casino Royale and far far less Quantem of Solace.

Agreed. I rated CR as possibly my favourite Bond film, and QoS as one of the weakest.

George Lazenby FTW

I don't know why people slam Quantum of Solace so badly. I think it's fine film. It's Beautifully shot and really well edited too.

This.

Casino Royale is definitely one of the best Bond films in the series, and it also has in my opinion, the best Bond theme as well as the best opening. :)

I still think Goldeneye is the best Bond film of the lot, but I don't want to see Daniel Craig's Bond turn into the classic Bond, because I think it'd be too inappropriate for him. Pierce Brosnan (my favourite Bond :) ) was so good at the classic Bond; suave personality, and could pull off the cheesiest puns without making you cringe. :p

Which documentary? Please do tell!

I for one, like Craigs portrayal

It was a documentray on The History Channel or Discovery about Ian Fleming and the person he based James Bond on (during WW2) quite interesting!

I might watch again tonight to verify it, but from what I remember the story is chaotic and doesn't make much sense.

This.Casino Royale is definitely one of the best Bond films in the series, and it also has in my opinion, the best Bond theme as well as the best opening. :)

+1 I love "You Know My Name".

[Growled Member]

Excellent news. I had feared we had seen the last of Bond when I heard of all the financial troubles the studio was having.

[xXTOKERXx]

Daniel Craig again ?!?!?!?

Oh god... :no:

Yeah can't stand him as bond,

I vote will Russell Brand!

[Rappy Veteran]

I vote will Russell Brand!

Daniel Craig's Bond seems more like Jason Bourne. Less of a lady's man and more of a man's man. ;)

[Orange]

O yes, good news ;)

[spenser.d]

the best Bond theme as well as the best opening. :)

I really wish I could have the animation sequence as a screensaver. Would be boss :yes:

According to Deadline Javier Bardem has been offered a starring role alongside Daniel Craig in Bond 23. No details have been revealed as to whom he will play, but given this is the first major casting news it is likely to be the villain. Bardem played a villain in his Oscar-winning turn in No Country For Old Men two years ago so he?s no stranger to this type of role.

Earlier this week Judi Dench confirmed her return, and said she couldn?t wait to get working with Craig again and new director Sam Mendes (Road to Perdition, Jarhead). The script for Bond 23 has been written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan, and a release date of November 9, 2012 has been set.

If Javier Bardem accepts the offer to play the potential villian we should be hearing casting news on the next Bond girl soon, and maybe they?ll announce the official title.

Ralph Fiennes is rumored to be in talks to join Bond 23.

The Daily Mail is currently circulating the rumor that Fiennes' reps are in discussions with the film?s producers and director Sam Mendes. If the reports turn out to be legit and they come to an agreement, he?d play a ?darkly complex? character. There are not any further details available now.

That might seem to conflict with previous reports stating that Javier Bardem was offered the movie?s bad guy role. The tabloids rumor does state that this is a different part from Bardem?s. It's possible that his character could be a mix of good and bad. This is likely just another fake story from the tabloid. We'll keep you posted as the story develops.

Am I the only person in the world who didn't like Casino Royale? I found it almost as boring as watching paint dry.

[HawkMan]

It's not the most awesome bond movie, but it beats any Brosnan movie witht he guy being all playboy and no agent. yeah, bond is a playboy, but he's a playboy with style and also an agent. Brosnan was all playboy and little else.

but it was an enjoyable movie, but didn't feel to much like a bond movie though.

[Gaffney]

My Reasons why QOS let Casino Royale down:

Opening, The really good on foot chase scene vs a very average car chase which switched viewing angles way to much you couldn't tell what has happening a lot but doesn't ruin a movie clearly it was OK.

The Music, compared to Casino Royale opening it already put my mood down, the songs just not James Bond which is suppose to be strong and charming not loud and screaming.

The plot, it was so dragged out and expanded it really made it hard to remember and average. It was dull as well because he is motivated by revenge which again is so average how many films is the good guy motivated by revenge ?

Boring, it was boring overall I seen it in the Cinema and I still felt bored they focused to much on the plot trying to make it really expansive and huge but there wasn't a lot to actually happen thus making it boring.

It's an average action film which = one of the worst bond films.

Brosnan ruined the franchise for me. Craig was never a good choice for Bond, ut would be like putting Jason Statham in the role. He should stick to things like Layer Cake as he is far better suited into those type roles. It almost feels to me like Casino Royale and QoS were nothing but attempts to steal some of the Jason Bourne film's thunder buy throwing out all the humorous parts that made Bond films what they are.

[Xero]

I thought Pierce was great as Bond. He wasn't the best when it came to action but he was entertaining. Craig is much better, reminds me of Connery (blonde hair aside). Neither of them ruined the series as they are both great actors. The blame falls on the directors and screenwriters. The last few Pierce movies really blew, much like QoS. However GoldenEye and Casino Royale were some of the best.

I'm really looking forward to Bond 23. They need to keep it character driven and not action driven. All the action sequences in QoS seemed forced and unnecessary. Most notably the plane sequence. The action in Casino Royale and GoldenEye were perfect. They drove the story further without unnecessary violence. The free-run sequence at the beginning of Casino Royale is one of my favourites of all time. Hopefully Sam Mendes can recapture some of Martin Campbell's bond magic. He's easily my favourite director from the series.
