So who could it be? P&W, Haggis or someone new. The Afghan story seems to point things in the direction of Haggis, as he loves writting about that sort of thing.

[DamnCoffee]

I hope to god, Quantum of Solace was P&W's last.

[Tybre]

I would imagine the same team as the last two. We'll just have to wait and see.

Actually Purvis and Wade have vastly improved since Die Another Day....but that could be due to the involvement of Paul Haggis!! As long as Haggis returns, I have no problem with them returning..

[Quantumofsolace007]

Perhaps Michael G wilson and Paul Haggis?


Anything is possible but I think because there is no big announcemnt it is the same crew as last time or Haggis solo.

[Loomis]

I am sure that Purvis and Wade will be involved once again.

The stick P&W get on here makes me laugh. To listen to some people, one would think they were solely responsible for DAD*, but had nothing to do with CR.


*Not that I think there's much wrong with DAD. It kept a lot of people in work, made a healthy return for its investors and provided a couple of hours of undemanding entertainment for a general audience. Not much wrong with that in my book.

...or Haggis solo.

I loved him in Star Wars.

What I like about Purvis and wade is they genuinly try and include SOME fleming in their work I'm not sure what their QOS would of looked like or what remained. Should be interesting what bond 23 will be about if the 3 of them are writing together.

It's so true. Few have an accurate understanding of the roles played by scriptwriters, directors, and editors in the film industry or their relationship to one another. Comparing Purvis and Wade's work on, say, Die Another Day and Casino Royale can be revealing in this regard.

I loved him in Star Wars.

I preferred his Irish cousin, Potato Solo.

Didn't Potato work for Pizza the Hutt

I'd prefer a brand new team of writers to come in and give us a different perspective on the Bond character.

[JimmyBond]

I am actually. Shhh don't tell anyone.

I'd be down with that as long as they don't totally rape the character.

[chrisno1]

P&W were responsible for the mostly incomprehensible plots of TWINE and DAD and I cannot forgiev them for that, regardless of anyone else's input.
CR was so much better because they (& Paul Haggis) had a decent novel to work from. IMO the best bits of CR are the bits that come directly from the novel.
It was no suprise that QOS suffered in conparison. I think Haggis helped immeasurably here, but the script still wasn't a patch on CR.
I read in the Observer (where do they get this info from?) that Haggis IS "LIKELY TO FEATURE AS SCRIPT WRITER" Bond23, but his current project is to write and direct Charlize Theron in an American remake of Anything For Her (Pour Elle).
(n.b. Why do Amereican's have to remake foreign films? Can't they just watch the originals? I hope to god they don't try to remake something as brilliant as The Lives of Others.)
Haggis isn't filming until the summer, so he won't be doing anything with Bond until at least Spring 2010.
Having written all this it sounds like a whole lot of speculation rather than rumour. Even MGW and BB have confirmed nothing except Bond 23 will star Daniel Craig.

[JimmyBond]

I wouldnt mind seeing someone else take a stab at Bond. If the Vesper storyline truly is over, perhaps getting a fresh hand would help for a fresh storyline?

Something lighter in tone, but not betraying the Bond character as presented in Craig's first two films.

[Mr. Somerset]

I want Tom Mankiewicz to write the script.

I want to see Craig utter lines like: " Speak now or forever hold your peace."

[Royal Dalton]

I'd love it if they brought Christopher Wood back for another film. Even if it was just to polish the dialogue.
