I suppose the terrorism angle was inescapable, and it is surely justified... but I'm not a really a fan of the whole 'making-up-a-country game', or 'geofiction' as I believe it is called. It made LALD and LTK seem a little tacky; sending Bond to 'San Pedro' or 'Souvlakistan' or whatever just comes off as a little too Man From U.N.C.L.E.-ish to me.

And I'm interested to see what spin they put on it. But I DON'T want there being a finale with 15 Nuclear Missiles pointed at something, and I don't want this "fictitious" country to be overly campy, which I'm afraid P&W might be capable of.
All in all though, awesome idea. Awesome update.
I sort of had a feeling it would be terrorist-related in some way.

Anyway,sounds interesting. Especially if the film sets up '22.
There you're right. Could it be that Craig's three-picture contract is a well-rounded trilogy?
This is great news. If they were planning a trilogy all along with 'Royale as the tentpole than the 4 yr wait will be well worth it! Babs...you won me back!

I think the creation of a new SPECTRE-like organization makes senese, particularly given the terrorism of today. Fictional countries are a little gay though.
I have never considered the sexual preference of fictional countries, but it's an amusing notion.
Narnia is patently lesbian.
Anyway, all very interesting. Not hugely surprising but could work well.

Either way, I'm not entirely surprised by that news. Nor would I be if it indeed turned out to be a front for AFRICAN CONFLICT DIAMONDS.

Latvaria has tendencies toward bestiality.

I ask, as I guess, (I could be wrong) that there is a limit that someone can win on a gaming table, (in one card game - otherwise the bank would be broken). So we`re not talking many millions here. Is the final winning amount going to be realistic for Le Chiffre and this new organisation to use?
Maybe it only needs a couple of million Euros to fund a small organisation who need to buy plutonim for a terrorist threat, (something along the lines of Thunderball and TWINE).
I was a bit worried that CR might just be a "little" film, a la Dr. No, but it seems the Bond producers want to not only go down the "dark and grittiness road" of the early Connery films, but also going back to a major fictitious terrorist organisation, allowing future scriptwriters to use them for almost anything related to crime, with no real terrorist organisation, (Al Quieda etc.) and no real country, (Korea) getting angry and upset by them being portrayed as evil incarnate.

As long as the movie is not set in this fictitious country, I'm okay with it. Just have M tell Bond about this new terror organization "with ties to zebba zebba" and then get on with it.They should lose the fictitious country angle. Just make it a SPECTRE-like group based here and there, providing arms to al Quaeda.
Hey, do you think this new organization will be called OCTOPUS (the SPECTRE replacement in FRWL vg)?
