They could always use the 007 in New York story for the PTS and use another Bond title and story.

[SecretAgentFan]

Exactly. I think they will use "The Property of a Lady" next or "Risico" as a title. They will want to connect the Craig era with Fleming as much as they can.

[sorking]

There's no reason not to use New York as a location. The city has a lot of interesting areas and quirks, many of which are rarely exploited on film. Doesn't have to be the postcard view.

I can't see the 'Bondbourne' accusations bothering any industry professional one jot. Certainly not enough to make a decision either way on a film due out in 2010.

Chances are good that the producers are already scouting around...but most likely Craig's involvement is of the "Hey, I'll be in New York then, too" variety. He's about to be stuck on a massive, global press junket for QoS - I can't imagine he's travelling on scouts for Eon in his spare time.

Still, the team will have a massive list of places they've seen or heard about over the years. While I take the rumour with plenty of salt, now is the time to be having those conversations. Bond 23 WILL happen, no matter how QoS performs (not that some measure of decent success is in any doubt), and two years requires a quick turnaround. I don't doubt that some of the QoS locales were being mooted even before CR hit cinemas.

It seems unlikely that they'd go for the '007 in New York' title, though. Aside from being dreadfully pedestrian and literal, the idea of Bond being in America simply isn't as exotic an idea as it might have been when the story was published. Not to mention the fact that it's a rare 007 film indeed that puts Bond in one city and leaves him there for the bulk of the movie.

It's a shame the Risico material's been used - the title has a likeable Fleming nonsense to it...

[Publius]

For 007 IN NEW YORK to even come close to working as a title, it'd have to be set entirely in the Big Apple and be quite the epic. Just stopping by wouldn't cut it.

Anyway, even if this lady is telling the truth, why do I get the feeling that Craig or Broccoli were just floating one of a million ideas and not giving it much more thought, but the writer decided to run with it anyway?

Besides, how many times have you eaten at a restaurant and said "wow, this place is really nice, I should have my [insert event] here"? I'm sure the Bond producers think similarly whenever they're visiting a city.

[doubler83]

"007 in New York" sounds more like a DVD chapter title than the actual title of the film.

[rodiii]

I believe this has very little, if anything, to do with location scouting.

They're about to both be bombarded from the media about all the excitement of the upcoming movie. They're about to be on every media outlet in the world. The source of most of those media outlets...??? NY, NY.

I too wouldn't mind seeing some US locations, to me it's more about the story anyways. But I doubt this particular dinner was a scouting trip.

[TheHildebrandRarity]

I think they could use New York and its locations as a main part of the film. Casino Royale was only seen for 45mins of the film then it went to other places.

They could do something like: 2 hour film est.
10mins in location A.
90mins in New York.
20mins in Location B.

So the majority would be New York and the other two locations elsewhere.

It would also make a change, its similar to London has lots of different areas to which could be explored.

[Mister E]

I think New York would be a good excuse for a tense kidnapping plot.

That's one of the things I love about Charlie Higson's Double or Die; it gets a tonne of mileage out of a single city. Unfortunately, a single-city-set Bond film might be considered a bit gimmicky (Bond films don't do gimmicks) and possibly even a bit cheap. The cinematic 007 is renowned for his globe-trotting adventures; the audience might feel a bit cheated if he was dumped in a single city for most of a movie.

Still, New York would be an excellent choice were it to ever happen.

What helps Double or Die work is that it is a period piece. Having Bond spend a whole book or film in contemporary London or any other frequently filmed western city would be dull. There's countless action films set in New York. Let's have some originality

[00Twelve]

Maybe true, maybe not. Maybe just part of it is.

The idea of Bond in NYC makes me hope against hope that maybe they'll adapt the LALD novel's story a little more closely this time. There's at least plenty to draw from there that has been overlooked (the actual plot, among other things). Couldn't anybody else see a PTS about someone leaving an explosive in Bond's hotel room?

[ComplimentsOfSharky]

Liz Smith is decent source. I'd say we have our first real piece of Bond 23 rumor/news.

007 in New York indeed. Bring it!

Indeed.

Awesome poster!!
The problem with calling it 007 in New York is that is seems to limit the movie to making New York the only location.

I don't know about the title but the story itself would be a great addition to a movie. I'd pay 8.50 to watch Daniel eat scrambled eggs...

Not really


I mean i could see the film being called 007 in new york with maybe 2 or 3 other locations thrown in but the MAJORITY of the film would obviously need to be shot in New York


007 in new york i'd say it's our first rumoured title for bond 23.

[Mr. Somerset]

well it would make sense with going for Bold Fleming titles.


007 in new york is as bold as the Hildebrand Rarity or Quantum of Solace.


As for Bond being in New York in 23 i'd be fine with that.

Somehow I doubt 007 In New York as the title. Maybe they would just call it Thrilling Cities? Then again, maybe not?

Whoa, no. The rumour here is that New York is a location in Bond 23, not that "007 In New York" is the title.

Yeah and I hope it's true. Like I said in another thread, they should film something at Carnagie Hall.

[Quantumofsolace007]

I wonder if the title will be 007 in new york

[Captain Tightpants]

Given that the Powers That Be have said they want to have a break before Bond 23, I'd say it's entirely too early to be calling this one.

I wonder if the title will be 007 in new york

Not likely.

[Quantumofsolace007]

you never know Captain.

[AgentBentley]

Please, not New York. Already overused in way too many movies and TV stuff.

Unless they can find some great-looking arty site that us out-of-towners don't know about, for just a short sequence, then yes.
There are so many great cities around the world where Bond could go, we don't need another NY movie. Even Woody Allen has left.

[MR. BOND 93]

Ooooh, I like this.

Well they will have atleast a 1 year break wont they ? If I were EON I would have start working in summer 2009 for a 2010 summer or autumn release.

Absolutely not. There are so many reasons why it wouldn't happen.

No seriously, this rumor is not worth a thread.

[tdalton]

I certainly wouldn't mind a Bond film being primarily set in New York City. Yes, it's a city that countless films have been set in, but there hasn't been a Bond film that has featured the city in any significant way (he's only been there once in the films, if I'm not mistaken, and even that wasn't for a significant period of time).

[Skudor]

I prefer my Bond outside the US - but that's not to say they couldn't make something new out of New York.

As to this story - I really don't believe that Daniel Craig and Barbara Broccoli were location scouting, together anywhere or at any time - let alone a month and a half before the release of the latest Bond film. She met him for dinner and they joked with the gossip monger.

[kyleargyle]

The hell with New York...when's Bond coming to Canada? Toronto or Montreal all, maybe. Or Vancouver!

I'm sure they'd use Toronto to double for New York
