James Bond: Skyfall (2012)

[The Punisher]

Nachdem Slumdog Millionär bei den diesjährigen Academy Awards mächtig abgeräumt hat, erobert Indien Hollywood immer mehr. Jetzt wurde Hauptdarstellerin Freida Pinto zum Casting für den neuen James-Bond-Film geladen, um für die Rolle des nächsten Bond-Girls vorzusprechen. Produzentin Barbara Broccoli äußerte ihren Wunsch, die schöne Inderin gerne an der Seite von Daniel Craig sehen zu wollen. Sie sei bereits für Ein Quantum Trost in der engeren Wahl gewesen, war zu dem Zeitpunkt jedoch noch ein wenig zu jung. Inzwischen ist Pinto 24 Jahre alt und durch "Slumdog Millionär" zum Star geworden. Ihre Chancen stehen also bestens.

Bond 23 Delayed Indefinitely
Source: EON Productions, April 19, 2010

007 producers, Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli of EON Productions, today announced they have suspended development on the next James Bond film previously scheduled for release 2011/2012.

"Due to the continuing uncertainty surrounding the future of MGM and the failure to close a sale of the studio, we have suspended development on 'Bond 23' indefinitely. We do not know when development will resume and do not have a date for the release of 'Bond 23,'" stated Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli jointly.

EON Productions have produced twenty two James Bond films since 1962. In 1995, Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli took over the 007 franchise from Albert R 'Cubby' Broccoli and are responsible for producing some of the most successful James Bond films ever, including Casino Royale and more recently Quantum of Solace. The James Bond franchise is the longest running in film history. EON Productions and Danjaq LLC are affiliate companies and control all worldwide merchandising for James Bond.

MGM Cancels Sam Mendes' Bond 23, No More Daniel Craig?

With every new James Bond, it reaches a point where audiences lose interest and the franchise restarts. I didn't think we'd reach that point with Daniel Craig for a long, long time, because audiences seem to love him and there's a different storyline (starting with his origin in Casino Royale). The latest movie, Bond 23, was set to be directed by Oscar winner Sam Mendes (of American Beauty, Away We Go) from a script by Oscar nominated writer Peter Morgan (The Queen, Frost/Nixon). We already knew it was delayed because of MGM's ongoing financial troubles, but we're now receiving word that the entire thing has been canceled.

This news comes mainly from Harry at AICN and the UK's Mirror (both via The Playlist). Harry Knowles says that "apparently all development on the next James Bond flick is dead. They've actually fucked MGM up so much that right now, they've canned development of a new James Bond film." Oh I know, it's very sad. Mirror confirms: "Members of the production crew have been told the Bond film has been canned. There is a lot of bad feeling as a lot of time, money and hard work has already gone into this." Apparently this is not just another delay, it sounds like MGM is canceling all projects in development until they figure out how to get back into the moviemaking business, which may be never (if things keep going the same way they are).

The big question now is if this also means the end of Daniel Craig as James Bond. No one really knows how long Craig's contract runs or how many films he was signed to be in, but I'm sure MGM is pulling some crazy tricks in order to cancel any and everything, and that could include Craig's contract. But, of course, there's always the optimistic folks who think it's just a matter of time until we see Craig return as James Bond, and I think I'll side with them until further notice. "This doesn't mean the end of the Bond films. The question is how long it will take to make another one." Let's just hope we don't have to wait too long for it.

The next, currently-untitled, Bond film is planned for November 2012 and the article claims that sequels will follow every other year.

The 23rd entry in the franchise, the film was originally set to star returning actor Daniel Craig as Bond with Sam Mendes attached to direct. Though it is very likely that Craig will still return, there is not yet a confirmation of Mendes' continued involvement.

Composer David Arnold Confirms Bond 23 is Back On

Last month, Bloomberg reported that MGM was planning to release James Bond 23 in November of 2012 following the company emerging from bankruptcy. The article said sequels will follow every other year after that. David Arnold, who has composed the music for five James Bond movie, confirmed the news that the film was back to Film Music Magazine:

I haven't thought about it yet. We only just got the news that we're back on. But 'there’s many a slip twixt cup and lip' So I will keep quiet until I get a script and then start writing ideas. I just hope the next one is as good as my favorites, as I think everyone does. And I'm always interested in what Daniel Craig brings to the part. But like most things with movies, if it ain't on the page etc… All I can say is that I'm looking forward to a great script for it, alongside every other Bond fan in the world!

The above confirms that Daniel Craig will be back, though we're still not sure if director Sam Mendes is still attached.

Javier Bardem Offered Bond 23 Role

Javier Bardem has been offered a role in the upcoming (still untitled) 23rd James Bond film, according to a story at Deadline.

Though the role is unspecified, the article suggests that it is major part and speculation could easily place Bardem as the film's villain. If that is the case, Bardem would mark the second Oscar winner to face off against the secret agent after Christopher Walken in 1985's A View to a Kill.

Currently, Daniel Craig and Judi Dench are confirmed to return for the franchise sequel under Director Sam Mendes. No plot details are currently available, but the script (from Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan) is said to pick up soon after the events of Quantum of Solace.

Whether or not Bardem accepts the offer remains to be seen. He's also rumored to have been offered the lead in Ron Howard's cross-platform adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower. He is currently nominated for an Academy Award for his work in last year's Biutiful.

The Next James Bond Movie Has $45 Million Worth of Product Placement

When James Bond orders his next martini "shaken, not stirred," perhaps he'll also request a specific brand of gin. The Sunday Times reports that in the next James Bond movie — already long-delayed owing to MGM's money problems — a full third of the budget will be raised via onscreen product placement. For the bean counters at home, that's $45 million, the biggest product-placement bonanza ever.
