"We will take some more risks and shake things up a little bit more."

Barbara Broccoli, Daniel Craig and Jeffrey Wright discuss the past, present and future of James Bond

Producer Barbara Broccoli has hinted that the next James Bond movie will complete a Daniel Craig trilogy.

Speaking to Coming Soon, Broccoli said that the 23rd Bond instalment is likely to finish the story started in Casino Royale and Quantum Of Solace.

She said: "Hopefully at the end of Quantum Of Solace, we have this 'whole' character. And now we can do what we want.

"I think in some way, he will go after the [Quantum] organisation. So in that sense, it may become a trilogy, but we haven't really structured it that way."

Broccoli noted that the next Bond movie will contain one of the hallmarks of the franchise's earlier films.

"The trouble is, everyone has gadgets," she commented. "We will need to come up with a few that have not been invented by the Sony Corp!"

I'm happy and worried.


I fear they now have this great orqnization and now they waanna get rid of it in bond 23?


Smersh was dirrectly responsible in most of fleming novels (save for Moonraker i belive and the blofield trilogy)


I want Quantum to be similar i want them to be devloped not shot out in bond 23.

though it's interesting the producers are begining already to se where bond 23 could go.

[bondrules]

Just as long as they are very careful not to dwell into DAD territory regarding the gadgets.

[BlackFire]

That's good because Quantum left some doors open; I'm talking about...

Spoiler

the Dams, Camille, Mr. White, Yussef and Quantum itself.

Happy to hear that 23 may tie in directly with CR and QOS. I wouldn't mind seeing Quantum ending after 23 though. I am sure there are many stories to tell about Quantum but I would hate the "people are everywhere" crutch being overused. No need for Bond to become a who-dunnit type of series. "We thought that was a good guy but it's really a bad guy" can become real cliche and I think that is the crux of the Quantum storyline.

I don't think so. Quantum might just take a break like Spectre did in Goldfinger. And return in Bond 24.

It's not who dun it at all Quantum could be similar to Smersh in the novels wiht different people going about different schemes.

Go, Babs, Go!

It's really a shame that TWINE usurped (lamely) the M kidnapped idea, because I think an adaptation of Colonel Sun could really work in the Craig era, especially at this point in the Bond/M relationship.

I am happy to hear that Bab's and Mickey are gonna keep pushing the envelope! I want a triology with Qunatum (my mouth is watering as I say that ... Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Bond triology). Bond was developed in the CR and this movie, quantum was fleshed out in this movie and now EON has a great opportunity to create a climax movie in bond 23 and the end the trilogy with a bang.

We have a somewhat developed character in bond and a truely sinister organization in Quantum. The personal angle is now done, so lets go to the top of quantum and unvelie some truely sinister plan that threatens the whole world ... economic meltdown ... oooops happening already! EON will think of something. I hope as long as Craig is in the role bond won't become superhuman. Like the man had said many times he loves flawed characters and lets keep it that way. Its a great day to be a bondophile!

[jaguar007]

I want to see Quantum hijack a couple of nuclear warheads and hold them for ransom or detonate them.







just kidding

Probably best not to drag out the Quantum thing. The financial and corporate types who make up Quantum are popular hate figures at the moment (as someone on the Millarworld forum put it, it’s like sending Bond in to terminate the board of ENRON) but by Craig’s fourth film they’ll probably have to find something more topical.

Besides, Fleming only needed three novels to wrap up SPECTRE/Blofeld.

while this is true I look at Quantum to be a little like Smersh in the novels or spectre in the early days.

Now don't get me wrong I don't want Quantum dragged out till the cows come home (Cows they always stay out so late LMAO) but don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Quantum is blabnk page they can do many things with quantum that they coukldn't do before and Quantum allows them to possibly bring in Characters, Situations and locations thought up by fleming but never explored until now.

I mean come on who doesn't want bond to go to Seychelles Island to meet a station head named Fidel Barbery or meet a fellow agent Gala Brand or battle Von Hammerstien or Dr Gutham Von Shatterhand (I'm of the belif that alternate names not used in orignal films like Simone Latrie and Von Der Drache can be used as names of new characters as nods to fleming fans without "remake" being used as let's face it "remake" is an ugly ugly word)




Enough of my rambling

to some up I like pushing the envelope I loved Casino Royale and Quantum of solace.

I like that we have a new orgnization but i want to leave it that i don't know anything about Quantum for one more film by all means make people belive that Von Der Drache is the villian of bond 23 and the head of Quantum but then end the film with Drache being killed by bond and mr White meeting the real head or heads saying "we have to either kill bond or use him to our advantage"


I can think of a lot of fleming ideas that could be utlized in interesting ways.


Brainwashing for example intially i hated the idea but what if bond is brainwashed in the begining realizes he is and must find out who his target is and stop the assaniation without assaniting the person himself.


Ok now i'm really rambling but you get my idea. I want quantum to last for 4-5 films hell smersh lasted 6 novels I don't think they were in Diamond or Moon raker or The man with the golden gun?

3 seems to short and anything beyond say 6 seems pushing it.

[Harmsway]

Sounds good.

[Conlazmoodalbrocra]

I'm glad to hear they're taking more risks. Most of them seem to pay off.

[Qwerty]

They're on a roll lately. Here's to hoping it keeps going for Bond 23 and beyond.

[Loomis]

Go, Babs, Go!

It's really a shame that TWINE usurped (lamely) the M kidnapped idea, because I think an adaptation of Colonel Sun could really work in the Craig era, especially at this point in the Bond/M relationship.

Well, heck, they could simply do it again. This is a rebooted franchise and Dench isn't even playing the same M she played from 1995 to 2002. Leastways, that's the way I see it.

[Agent 76]

How about, instead of being kidnapped, we could see Dench's M killed by Quantum and another M (male or female) filling the place?!

just an idea...

[Scrambled Eggs]

Colonel Sun wouldn't be a bad title to use but I don't entirely see the point of filming the book.
Even if we assume the average movie goer has excised TWINE from his/her memory (which wouldn't be that difficult) what elements of the book, other than the kidnapping, are all that exceptional? There's a good torture sequence I suppose...

And of course, there are other ways to put M in peril: An assasination attempt at that smart London pad she has?

I'm much keener on seeing them use all the glorious unused bits from You Only Live Twice.

[crheath]

My only concern is who they're going to hire to direct 23. After I saw QOS last night, I'm glad Forster's not coming back (though I still enjoyed it).

And no one saw The World is not Enough anyway, did they?

Another M kidnapped plot done better (and lets face it how can it not be as zencat alludes to) would be fine in my book.

[Hockey Mask]

I wouldn't mind seeing Judi's M killed during a storyline as long as it didn't set up another "revenge" type of storyline. There is honor and being able to go out with a death scene and she deserves it.

[MR. BOND 93]

I hope the revenge storylines come to a hault here soon. I'm sick of them. I wanna see something that's strange and old-school.

Agreed. I'd personally love to see Craig in a proper COLONEL SUN adaptation.

[draxingtonstanley]

Some very nice ideas here.

My two pence worth: Bond spends two thirds of the film following a deliberately set false trail,while we see the real threat developing. Tension builds,by the time Bond finds out what is really going on the clock is really ticking and it's a race against time.

Sorry if that's a little vague,but it's late,I'm tired and there is still so much to be done...

I agree heck i began writing an adaption of cvolonel sun over the summer with Colonel Sun being a member fo qquantum then i figured i should watch the film Quantum of solace to see where that leaves off. I'll finnish my treatment next summer and post it for all you to see .

[sharpshooter]

These comments please me to no end. They will continue the line they have taken with Craig's era so far.

And Craig in a faithful Colonel Sun would be a dream come true. It's a fantastic novel and worthy of Fleming. It's a title similar in concept to that of Goldfinger, etc as well. That is of course if they would use the title.

I like the idea in theory, but I think it'd be incredibly dull if we watched the threat develope while Bond was going in another direction. A bit Pink Panther don't you think?

I'd love your idea, but let us find out Bond is going down the wrong path the same time Bond does, make it be a big "WTF" moment. I've always felt that if we know more than the main character it makes the film a bit dull (YOLT comes to mind).

Having us too far ahead of Bond runs the risk of making Bond look stupid. We should never be too much smarter than the hero of a movie. Enough to create suspense, but not enough for us to throw our Raisinets at the screem while yelling, "WAKE UP, GODDAMNIT!!!!!"
