I mean my god you make all sort of personal attacks over me cause of my opnion Mods talk to captain cause this is the 3rd time he has attacked me and this time i'm right.

No, you're just blindly ignoring everything that has gone before.

Bored now.

Lol. nice.

Seriously though, there's no reason to get all frustrated about such a topic. There are far worse things to get angry at in the world.

[Quantumofsolace007]

It's calling me dense that is what i don't like. What i find hilarious is that everything offical agrees with me yet captain is so stubborn and dense he takes one out of context rumour and calls that gospel and those who don't agree are "dense" To quote the joker "And people say i'm crazy"

[Captain Tightpants]

You're still on about that? I'd have thought you'd have learned by now that not everyone agrees with you simply because you think you're right, not everyone plays nice and sometimes the two go hand-in-hand. The conversation has moved on; so should you. 'Cause if you don't, I'm going to like you less than I already do.

2010 can't come fast enough

[DLibrasnow]

Can you imagine being a die hard fan between 1989 and 1995? Geez...

I survived...I think we still have support group meetings for any who suffer the odd flashback and wake up in a cold sweat.

I'm just looking at the big picture calendar wise.

89-95...Yeah, those were the dark hours, days, months and years.

*shudders*

Again, here's to 2010.

I remember it well. The thing that was reaaly terrible about those six years was the fact that for some time it appeared there would be no more Bond movies period.

I recall the 1989 interview with Timothy Dalton in 1989 in which he said that Licence to Kill would probably be the last of the Bond movies (in an issue of "Bondage" if anyone wants to check the exact quote.

I remember the gut wrenching feeling in my stomach when Michael Winner was lamenting the state of the British film industry on the BBC and said "We used to have the Bond series, but that's over and we now don't even have that."

Those were dark days and the Gardner books and that cartoon "James Bond Jr." were the only things 007 related out there.

So your saying i'm dense Michael G wilson Said writing will begin January 2009 so now I'm dense and MGW is a liar? If He says writing is gonna begin January 2009 then writing will begin 2009 and where where does it say "i'm taking off a year" give me links Cause here you go


“This time we haven’t started, but in January we are going to get some writers together and start kicking some ideas around.”

Is this the same Michael G. Wilson who said the writers were already working on the script for Bond 22 (which would become Quantum of Solace) at the press conference to announce Daniel Craig as the new 007 on Oct. 14, 2005?!

So the writers were working on the script of a movie that would not be released for over three years.

Well, the thing about LICENCE TO KILL was that it fared poorly at the box office - in no small part due to a marketing campaign that was even worse than the one used for QUANTUM OF SOLACE (where they couldn't even pitch the film the right way) - and so the immediate future of the franchise was in doubt. The writers had taken Bond to a very dark place when he set out for revenge, and by removing his Licence to Kill, they had essentially made him a murderer. It didn't help that Krest, Dario, Lupe's lover and Sanchez all sufferred deaths that could be considere particularly horrific, and so it would be difficult to bring Bond back into the fold of the British government without punishment for going rogue. An extended hiatus was probably better than simply making another film; audiences could simply assume that Bond had been punished in the interim. The thing that really brought James Bond back into the mainstream popular culture was the fall of the Soviet Union. Until GOLDENEYE, Bond had always existed in a world where the Cold War was the major geopolitical mark in the sand; with the Union of Soviet Socıalıst Republics falling into disarray and then fragmenting, the perfect opportunity arose: EON now had a chance to explore whether or not the world still needed James Bond - GOLDENEYE is loaded with dialogue (like that between Bond and M in her office) and iconography (like the entire scene in the graveyard of statues) that explores how Bond exists in the world now that it has so ramatically changed - as well as exploring whether audiences still needed James Bond, particularly after LICENCE TO KILL.

[eddychaput]

The idead that the producers wanted to see whether or not audiences needed James Bond after the collapse of the Soviet Union rings very true. Personally, I thought Goldeneye handled that quite successfully, although I know there are several on the boards who might disagree.

With regards to Bond being punished for several years, hence the fictionalized explanation for his long hiatus...that's rather clever. I had never thought of that to be honest. I don't think it'll be part of my thought process now, but it's an interesting idea to toy with.

Where did you get that info? Its not true - they didn´t start before end of 06 - so they might have been 1 to 2 months ahead from now. Not a big deal - but I don´t say, that makes it a sure 2010.

[eddychaput]

In the grander scheme of things, does this debate even matter? There will be a James Bond movie in 2010 or 2011, period. Let's move on.

I love the community here at commanderbond.net, I really do, but sometimes guys...gees.

true i belive the plan was to take advantage of 2007 and there was talks of Roger Mitchell directing which had that happen i don't think we would of gotten the amazing film we did.


honestly Eddie it doesn't matter but till the rumour pour in there isn't much to talk about lol.

[Donovan Mayne-Nicholls]

I also think it's just MGW covering his rear end. BB talked about having it asap and anyway, it'd make no sense delaying while you have the actor under contract. DAD was PB's option for a fourth. DC's initial contract was for three.

It is true. DLibrasnow is right.
The quote is below. There is video footage of the press conference on the Net somewhere.

“Purvis and Wade … are also starting on the next Bond script, so all this is going forward.”Michael G. Wilson, Casino Royale Press Conference, 14th October 2005

I think there may be other factors to determine when we see Bond 23:

1 The next Bond, at the moment, will not be a Sony release but will fall back into the purview of MGM/UA. It is fairly probable that their stockholders will want a new Bond film ASAP. It has been estimated that the release of a Bond film brings a turnover of approximately $1 billion to the studio (with ancillary and licensing revenues). This would be an incredible shot in the arm for the studio and something they would be keen to have rolling into their coffers as fast as yesterday.

2 MGW and BB are developing other non-Bond projects. They may wish to try to get one of those out before the next Bond.

3 It is fairly probable that ideas and notions for Bond 23 exist and perhaps a treatment has already been written. Failing that, a January start date for writing has usually ended with a Bond film in the autumn of the following year.

4 Daniel Craig is still under contract to make a Bond film at the producer's convenience. I think Brosnan only negotiated a break after his initial contract expired and the producers exercised their option for a fourth film. I doubt Craig calls the scheduling shots at this point in his Bond career.

BTW, I remember the 6 year hiatus between LTK and GE. It wasn't so bad - I got distracted by having a life! - but the smallest thing achieves greater significance in times of Bond drought. A cartoon series, a continuation Bond novel, a TV show, an event. These all together become methodone for the jonesing fan.

[Quantumofsolace007]

Ace you have a point.

[Daddy Bond]

A thought just occurred to me. In hell, you'd have to wait forever for Bond 23. You'd never get to see it, even after it came out.

Nope, not even a really bad Bond film.

Is this one of the tracks on Pierce's forthcoming country album?

Where did you hear this ? through the Hell and Damnation gossip column/grape vine ?
The devil probably objects to the overly sentimental aspects of TWINE.

I am fine with waiting 3 years, but would prefer 2. Danny boy is not getting any younger and we may be able to squeeze a 5th out of him if we keep the 2 year cycle, but not at the expense of a rushed product.

this is turning into the jumbled mess the "release the trailer" thread was. Eon should just give us a release date so we can end this sillyness.

Or give us a jucy and slightly ridculous rumour to argue about.

[danielcraigisjamesbond007]

As much as I don't want to say this, I really think that the extra year would give the producers time to "fix" little things with Bond 23. I feel that with Quantum of Solace, the producers kind of rushed to get the "Vesper" storyline completed. But, in their haste, they kind of made a bad movie. If, however, the extra year is necessary, I think that it would give them time to fix any "flaws" with Bond 23.
It's kind of sad, because I'd love to see Bond 23 in 2010...

[Quantumofsolace007]

Untill i see the release date i;'m gonna have faith...however if bond 24 came out in 2012 i'll take a may 2011 release date no problem


and for the record i loved Quantum of solcae and am proud it my name here.

[singleentendre]

My goal is to read all the Bond novels (ALL of them, not just the Fleming ones but the spinoffs too) and get every Bond movie on Blu-Ray before Bond 23 comes out. I figure that'll keep me busy enough.

[eddychaput]

The producers have made good movies before while working on a 2 year schedule, so I remain hopeful.

[darthbond]

Agreed. I'll wait for three years. Some of us younger fans remember the recent 4 year gap between DAD and CR. This isn't so suprising. I'll probably end up doing the same thing as singleentendre to keep me busy.
