I don't really care about IF's birthday as much...I'd rather have the DVD of '22 do a big B-daything for him instead.

There were a lot of pros (capitalize on the potential CR success, further establish Craig as Bond with his 2nd film, 007 in '007) and cons (rush the film, risk of Craig not doing well in CR, etc.) with a 2007 release that probably equalized each other and two years has been the norm for the series...so 2008 it is.

well? I think a Bond film in just a year from now would be just as big as it would in '08. Craig is a hit and CR's ending leaves unfinished business for 007... Are they(Eon) kicking themselves now for not getting it off the ground for the special(marketing dream) 2-007 release date?

It's just numbers. Nothing but numbers...

I just rewatched DAD, and I had suddenly had shivers, the very same team produced this and CR, and DAD look like it's 10 years old it have aged so fast.

How about they included a mini Bond film from the outtakes on the DVD release!!!. Better still. Make a full feature with all the Bond from unreleased material that they evidently have.
Wasn't that NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN...?
They better make sure their new movie is as good as CR if not better.

Regarding your signature young Stamper...
THE PROPERTY OF A LADY was used in OCTOPUSSY both physically and metaphorically. While the Algerian love knot could no doubt be a clue and lead for Bond in BOND 22 (and obviously the property of a lady) and whilst it is a great title, Eon are using something completely different for Craig's next film's moniker.

I know, I'm just having fun. If it's not that title, I'll change my sig, if it is, I will gloat and gloat and gloat
Fair enough Stamper,
It's still a great title - and maybe one they underused or under-referenced in OCTOPUSSY.....

Did they blow it by not releasing '22 in 2007?, in light of CR's success?
Oh sure. The success of the whole series is predicated on getting a movie in 2007.
Really, The Omen on 6.6.6. I mean who really gave a ? Is the everlasting memory of that film the release date or that it wasn't too successful?
And where would they use the 2007 marketing ploy - just on the teaser poster?
I'm glad that it Isn't to be released in 2007, now they can just crack on with making another successful film.

besides people with Pinewood becoming a cinder box if they were in the middle of filming bond 22,filming would have been inteupted and release dtae would have been pushed back.
correct me if i am wrong, but is that not the reason that instead of early 2008 bond 22 is now late 2008

Ooooh, maybe a film partially set in Algeria? I love desert stories.While the Algerian love knot could no doubt be a clue and lead for Bond in BOND 22 ...

Bond 22 may not be out until 2008, but the Casino Royale DVD will definitely be released in 2007. And the packaging can be marked in such a way to highlight the date, so everyone who wants to make the connection with the year can do so.
Brillant! I wanted a new Bond film for IF's 100th birthday myself but this makes sense too.

Personally, I would have loved to have seen 007 in 2007, which would have been a once in a millenia opportunity and great fodder for the P.R. department. Ultimately, however, releasing Bond 22 in 2007 does not guarantee a quality or successful film--particularly the year after the previous release. Neither does waiting an extra year, but having two years between films has been proven to work and certainly can't hurt.
Had EON (read Purvis and Wade) really started the Bond 22 script back when Craig was announced as the new Bond as was originally mentioned, a 007 film in the fall/winter of 2007 was perfectly possible and feasible (but likely without Martin Campbell at the helm). However, it is now apparent that either the Purvis & Wade script was no good or was unfinished or was never started at the time of Casino Royale's post-production. As a result, that made having a fall 2007 Bond film no longer a possibility. Cie la vie. Regardless, hope springs eternal for a rousing Bond 22 edition that can somehow rival Casino Royale.
