And has that wesbite (which tends to be extremely general at best) ever announce a new Bond film?

[tdalton]

Happily or Sadly I believe they are going to play ball with MGM.

007.com is announceing a new bond Project which I believe is Bond 23.

I'm more inclined to believe that the "New Adventure" they're talking about on the site is this "Bloodstone" videogame that I keep hearing about rather than Bond 23. MGM doesn't have the financial capability right now to get Bond 23 off the ground, and they probably won't for a while unless they can strike a deal with a company like Summit Entertainment (as was rumored earlier in this thread, which would be a great idea, IMO) or can find a way for the company and Time Warner to find a common ground in terms of pricing for the sale of the studio. Until that happens, or until MGM just goes out of business completely, Bond 23 will remain on the shelf.

I doubt very much it's Bond 23. I mean, to my eye, that is clearly a videogame box.

Beside, Bond 23 isn't coming soon. At this moment, it isn't coming at all.

[DamnCoffee]

I don't think the site generates enough attention anyway to even create some hype, let alone excitement. If Bond 23 was announced, it probably would be on a popular news network.

[Quantumofsolace007]

If Bond 23 was being announced, I'm sure that the 'New Adventure' thing would not be at the bottom of the screen, in a small box.

Perhaps I'm not sure

And has that wesbite (which tends to be extremely general at best) ever announce a new Bond film?

Again Not sure. But i'm told several times to not assume things based on what has happened in the past so maybe for bond 23 they will announce it on 007.com.

My problem with everyone believeing it to be Bloodstone is that if that was true why didn't Activision showcase it at E3 i mean by not doing that they are automatically hurting their sales because E3 is a huge gaming event. So if they wanna get non bond fan gamers to buy their product (because it will be an amazing game) wouldn't they want to showcase it at E3?


Again I know I'm being WAY too hopefull here but the fact of the matter is we have 3 options


1. Bond 23
This to me seems THE most likely because 007.com is usualy for the bond films. It might not be but I feel it's the most likely

2. Bloodstone
Nope. If we didn't see it at E3 we aren't gonna see it on 007.com

3. Project X
possibly but they are about 2 weeks late on showcasing it.

1. Bond 23
This to me seems THE most likely because 007.com is usualy for the bond films. It might not be but I feel it's the most likely.

You have heard of the MGM situation, yes? And you are aware what stance the production house of Bond 23 has had to take over the matter, yes - well, what the "official line" is?

[tdalton]

2. Bloodstone
Nope. If we didn't see it at E3 we aren't gonna see it on 007.com

"Bloodstone" (or a different Bond game) is the most likely candidate to be the "New Adventure" advertised. Just because it wasn't shown at E3 doesn't mean it doesn't exist at all. Perhaps they didn't want to put it out there for fear it would be overshadowed by the new GoldenEye 007. Maybe it just wasn't ready for a showing at E3, and we have a while to wait for the game.

One thing, though, that is pretty much certain, though, is that the "New Adventure" is not a new film.

[Quantumofsolace007]

Zorin didn't you always tell me EON never stops?


I'm near positive you did.


Besides i get a "new" Daniel Craig as James Bond Adventure in november anyway so I'm Happy.

[Sebastian Tombs]

Bond 23? I have my doubts; my gut instinct is that it's for a new video game. My impression is that EON would announce it through a press conference rather than a website. I could be wrong, but I would be genuinely shocked if indeed it was for a new Bond film.

[killkenny kid]

Of all the things I'm catching up on here at the forum. This thread is the saddest. I guess I'll just have to keep the faith, that Eon will ge 23 made at some point.

well the website could go live at the time of the press confrence...
we'll know eventually what the new adventure is.

[Single-O-Seven]

Clearly it's a promo for the forthcoming James Bond cereal brand. That's what the mysterious box is.

Gah, as I see there's one reply below it and I'm scrolling toward Reply, I'm thinking to myself "Don't be a Double-O's joke, don't be a Double-O's joke..."

Had to beat me to it.

No I don't

I'd like to hope bond 23 is coming out next year then assume it will never come out.

the James Bond film Franchise is dead bond 23 will never come out CBN should lock this forum as there is no point discussing a film that will never happen.

I'm not sure that anyone has said that BOND 23 won't be made eventually. It's just not going to be released next year, that's a certainty at this point. It'll make its way to theaters in 2012 at the absolute earliest, and perhaps even with a new actor in the role (still unlikely at this point, but who knows), but there will eventually be a BOND 23.

until October 2010 comes and goes there is still hope for a director to be announced and casting to happen and filming to commence in 2011.


why October I figure they were able to grab a director October 1996 for Goldeneye's follow up and it wasn't that bad. Far better then Die another Day.


Bond producers have surprised us in the past. I mean No one expected half of the events of the Craig era Goldeneye 2010 included.

Correct.

I'm not a delusional whack job.

Besides I'm very excited about Project X and Goldeneye (and the next bond game after that) so while i want bond 23 to come out i have other things bond related to enjoy before then.


Better then 2009 when there was nothing bond related coming out.

[Zorin Industries]

Except the centenary celebrations for Cubby Broccoli, a myriad of events plus some remaining Fleming centenary events...?

What's October 2010 got to do with it maybe happening? I don't know if anyone has noticed yet, but this MGM saga is not winding up. If anything it is gearing up for the long haul.

I figure they were able to grab a director October 1996 for Goldeneye's follow up and it wasn't that bad. Far better then Die another Day.

But you are talking about a timeline for BOND 23 based on events that happened around 15 years ago in an entirely different financial climate, an entirely different studio climate, an entirely different creative context and with an entirely different set of writers, directors and actors at the helm.

And just because there was some all important announcement about BOND '97 whenever in 1996 does not mean the film only gave itself a twelve month production period. As I have said quite a few times, the press conferences for the Bond films tend to happen months and months (and even a good year) after the films have privately been given the greenlight. MGM doesn't have any greenlights to give. And even if MGM's finances were sorted in the morning and they announced 8 films and one Bond film, the whole thing goes nowhere until Eon HQ are entirely happy with the legalities (which will, in turn, take time to sort).

Zorin I keep misreading you. You make it sound like the producers are working behind the scenes on bond 23 and when i say the same thing i get made fun of.


As for last year Events are good but they are nothing new with our favorite spy.

this year we have a New Game to look forward to and a New novel to look forward to next year and possibly second video game to look forward to again possibly coming out next year.



In terms of 007 stuff there is plenty of non film stuff to be excited about versus very little with bond last year (except the story of who was writing it that was exciting)


We'll see if bond 23 ever does get out in the mean time I have a few bond related things to keep me excited till then.

[Zorin Industries]

Well of course BOND 23 will be taking up some mental time for Bond HQ. The production house of Bond never closes. The cogs still turn and avenues will be explored, but - as the press release suggested early this summer - a line has to be drawn until MGM sort their act out or someone fires the final bullet.

Eon will be sort of pressing on amongst themselves. It would be naive to think they have shut up shop altogether. They are in the business of making James Bond movies and they are not able to do that as of right now. Annoyingly.

[Sebastian Tombs]

I'd also throw out there that, based on my previous experience with the 'net and the Bond rumor mill, that it would be highly peculiar for an announcement about a new Bond film in the works to be coming so completely out of the blue, with no indications anywhere else that things are moving. Usually the rumor mill is all abuzz about what's going on with the latest Bond flick, but this time there's zip. Nada. Every indication is that things are at a standstill. If they are getting things moving on Bond 23, they are doing so under a cloak of secrecy that is unparalleled in Bond history. And that's what makes me think this isn't about a movie at all, but a video game.

[Captain Tightpants]

Better Captain?

I'm not saying that Bond is dead, I just think it's foolish to get your hopes up that the "New Adventure" advertised over at 007.com is BOND 23. There is no evidence to support your theory, and none of the usual sources of information have even picked up on it.

this is why I should just stick to talking about project that it's OK to be excited about

like Project X and Goldeneye.
