Peter Morgan, Neal Purvis, Robert Wade To Write James Bond 23
Finally, here’s the first official announcement for the 23rd James Bond movie.
Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli of EON Productions and MGM have today announced that Oscar nominated Peter Morgan (”Frost/Nixon,” “The Other Boleyn Girl,” “The Last King of Scotland,” “The Queen“) will team up with Neal Purvis and Robert Wade - co-writers of “Casino Royale” and “Quantum of Solace” - to write the script for Bond 23.
“Peter, Neal and Robert are extraordinarily talented and we’re looking forward to working with the three of them,” commented Wilson and Broccoli.
Daniel Craig is already set to reprise his role as Ian Fleming’s James Bond 007 in the film, and Wilson and Broccoli are producing.
Both “Quantum of Solace” and “Casino Royale” were co-productions between MGM and Sony, with the latter distributing. The new film will be the first to return as a full MGM release. The first 20 pictures in the franchise were distributed by MGM.
A date for the start of production is yet to be confirmed.
A big and important question is - who will direct James Bond 23?
Marc Forster Wants More Bond Girls For James Bond 23
Marc Forster the director of “Quantum Of Solace” turned down the chance to direct the next - 23rd James Bond movie.
There were some rumours that “Slumdog Millionaire” director Danny Boyle will helm new James Bond flick but Boyle said that he enjoys Bond movies but he has no plans to direct one.
Speaking to MTV, Marc Forster suggested that his ideas for the next movie aren’t in the franchise’s best interests.
“They asked me if I wanted to,” he said. “I’ll never say never again, but at this point I would say no…”
“It really depends on what direction they want to take it. For me, I wanted to take it to a harder and darker place, but now that that journey I’ve gone on has succeeded, I feel like the next one can take it to a bit more humorous place again.”
Forster added that the next Daniel Craig spy outing “should take it in a lighter and more humorous way, maybe add a few more girls and a bit more sex, all that kind of stuff. I think that would be interesting.”

Quantum of Solace Reviews
Shorter and more action packed, Quantum of Solace is a James Bond film for the new millennium. Unlike Brosnan’s swan song Die Another Day, the CGI is limited, and unlike Casino Royale the film doesn’t try to be too hip and trendy. From the pulsating opening car chase - you know that you are watching Bond, and like the older movies in the series you feel that it is the end of another adventure (it is) and not a piece of grandstanding from the second unit and stunt departments…full story [Screen Rant]
Be prepared for a few changes in this new entry of the Bond canon. James Bond is back, and this time it’s extremely personal. The rugged, harsh, and rough agent picks up exactly where he left off in another striking thriller that leaves you feeling exhausted, if not exhilarated…full story [Blogger News] Continue Reading…

Marc Forster Will Not Return For “Bond 23″
Quantum of Solace director Marc Foster will not be returning for the 23rd film in the James Bond series.
Actually, Marc Forster has revealed that Daniel Craig convinced him to helm the latest James Bond film. The film-maker had initially turned down the project, claiming he was nervous he would be sucked into the corporate Bond “machine”.
However, he changed his mind after meeting up with 007 Craig.
“I thought: ‘He’s really real. There’s no bulls**t.’ I felt like I wanted to work with this guy. The next thing I knew I was on a plane.”
Forster says he was offered the next one, but declined because he prefers a balance of films.
“They offered me the next one, but at this point the pressure is so intense - it’s a year of not having a life. And I don’t know if I want to do that again. It’s literally not having a life, and I mean that, it’s not exaggerated. I feel like life is short, you have to find a balance.”
Although Forster made that statement when asked about returning for another Bond movie, his experience on Quantum of Solace was certainly fantastic.
If that disappoints you, then you won’t certainly like the rumors going around claiming that Daniel Craig is thinking about not returning as Bond as well. The actor supposedly won’t make a decision until he sees how well Quantum of Solace does.
“Quantum Of Solace” will hit domestic theaters on November 14th 2008.
