what does the Bond timeline look like or is there one? Like, I don't know when all this shit is supposed to be happening.

Joe Cool

Directly after Casino Royale.

It's said to pick up right after he shot the guy at the end of the last film and Vesper will be mentioned with a possible cameo in a pretaped message before she died.

I liked it too.

Blade from what I read that film was considered the re-boot and every film afterwards will follow that timeline.

So basically it was a start over.

I heard that months ago so it may have changed. Necro would most likely know more than me now.

Daniel Craig Talks Bond 22

This weekend, ComingSoon.net has been in London for the international press junket for New Line's The Golden Compass based on the first book in Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" series, and we had a chance to talk to Daniel Craig, who plays the evil Lord Asriel in the film. Of course, talk quickly turned to Craig's more famous role as the newest James Bond 007, because everyone wants to find out what we can expect from the follow-up to the blockbuster Casino Royale, which is scheduled to start shooting very soon.

ComingSoon.net: How have you been coping with your post-Bond fame?

Craig: I run away. Having a sense of humor is really key. You have to have a sense of humor with these things and I've just tried to remain who I am. My life has changed. It's changed in the fact that I don't have the freedoms I did before, but I've also got a huge amount of other freedoms that have come along.

CS: How apprehensive were you to take Bond on originally?

Craig: Very resignated. I was against it, very much against it.
<hr>
CS: What changed your mind?

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Craig: The script and the fact that it seemed to me that I would be able to sort of dedicate and get involved with and make something of. I've always been a Bond fan. I've always wanted the films to be good. When it came along and I read the script I thought there was genuinely an opportunity to make a good movie with one of the most classic icon figures in movies.
<hr>
CS: What sort of sensibilities does Marc Forster, a non-Brit, bring to the Bond franchise?

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Craig: If you look at Marc Forster's current body of work, that in itself makes me very excited. If you look at "Monster's Ball", "Finding Neverland" and then "Kite Runner", which is just stunning, it's such a diverse look at the world, I'd want us to have that. Marc is very solid. That for me is crucially important because this movie needs to jump on from "Casino Royale" and take it somewhere else. Marc is totally inspired and is really just keen to get started.

CS: Is the next script based on Ian Fleming's work at all?

CS: Have they decided not to adapt any of the John Gardner's novels?

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Craig: I don't think they ever would, because they don't own them. |I don't know what the deal is with that. We're taking the original idea. The funny thing is if you read Fleming's (novels), which I try to plow through occasionally, there's an awful lot of story lines that have never been used because obviously the films are based on the books. There are still ideas that we can sort of pluck from.

CS: This new movie starts right after "Casino Royale" ends?

CS: How difficult for you as an actor to develop the character because of his iconic status?

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Craig: Not difficult at all really. Paul Haggis is involved. We've got someone who can take on story and take on a character and take them to a different place. It's always a struggle, but you've got to find themes, you've got to find reasons for doing it and you've got to put them all in the right place. The same rules apply.

CS: Will the writers' strike affect production on the next film?

Craig: We'd basically have to start now. The SAG strike starts in July. The writers' strike doesn't affect us because we have a script. As it stands at the moment, it doesn't affect us.
<hr>
CS: I read somewhere you're going to inject a bit more humor into the next movie.

Craig: I was lying. I said, "Yes, it's going to be funny." I don't remember saying that, but if I did, I'm not going to shy away from the fact the occasionally there should be humor. I just don't like gags. I don't like written gags. That's not the way I've ever liked working and I don't think that's funny myself.
<hr>
CS: "Casino Royale" marked a welcome return to the style and sensibilities of the earlier Bond movies, rather than the jokey more recent movies.

Craig: The idea of having jokes in Bond I don't think is completely wrong, but I think the jokes to need to come out tension. There needs to be moments of humor because we've all been sitting on the edge of our seat. I don't think you should write gags in Bond.
<hr>
CS: I understand there's already a script for a sequel to "The Golden Compass." Have you read it yet?

Craig: There's an outline. It's a pretty good outline. I haven't looked at it. I've seen bits of it, but haven't looked at it.

CS: Assuming Golden Compass is a hit and they make a second film, and you're already signed up to do the next Bond, are you looking ahead to work both into your schedule?

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Craig: That will be the plan, but it just depends on how well we do here. I try not to count chickens. I really do because there's no point. You'd go crazy. We're in good shape and I'm very happy with the way this is working out. I'd love to get involved with it. If they do another movie, I'd love to do it. We'll fit it in. It's not my job to make that work. I pay people fortunes to make that.
<hr>
CS: How important is it for you to have the freedom to do riskier projects?

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Craig: Oh, completely. I've completed a film this year with a close friend of mine called "Flashbacks of a Fool," a movie which he wrote about five or six years ago and we've been trying to get it off the ground. I play a movie star who goes through a huge change in his life. It maybe sounds a bit arrogant to sort of do something like that, but the story is about growing up and what we learn when we're children and how we formed as adults. We shot it in South Africa. It's a very simple story.
<hr>
CS: What do you think will happen in July if SAG decides strike?

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Craig: That's a good question. Really, good question. I don't know what the latest news is on the writer's strike, but I know it's not settling. It needs to be sorted and people need to come to the negotiating table.

Aston Martin has announced that their new flagship model, the DBS, will once again be driven by James Bond (Daniel Craig) in the next 007 film to be produced by Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for EON Productions, and directed by Marc Forster.

The Aston Martin DBS made its first public appearance in Casino Royale when it smashed its way into the Guinness World Record books for 'The Most Cannon Rolls In A Car'. The record-breaking stunt saw stuntman Adam Kirley taking the helm of Bond's famous Aston Martin. The stunt proved one of the most spectacular in movie history when he rolled the DBS an amazing seven times.

Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer, Dr Ulrich Bez, said: "Aston Martin is proud of our long association with James Bond. The DBS has its own unique character which equals that of James Bond. It is explosive power in a black tie. It is the perfect car for James Bond as it delivers the complete driving experience and bridges the gap between our road and track cars – the DB9 and DBR9. It is equally at home on a twisting mountain circuit as on the open road and we are all very excited at the prospect of seeing it on the big screen again."

Bond 22 hits theaters on November 7, 2008.

A Third Bond 22 Villain?

It seems as if James Bond will be facing more than one enemy in Bond 22. After the confirmed castings of French Mathieu Amalric and Swiss Anatole Taubman, Mexican actor Jaquin Cosio claims to have landed the role of a Latin American General called "General Medrano". Mexican newspaper El Diario runs a big story on the casting in today’s issue.

"There are various enemies, and I’m one of them. I’m General Medrano, Bond’s enemy in Latin America, but there are other enemies waiting in Europe for Bond", he told El Diario while phoning from Mexico City. According to the actor, he was chosen from a list of about 500 Latin American actors, among them stars such as Daniel Jimenez Cach (Y tu Mama Tambien).

"I’m really pleased to be chosen to participate in such a huge film, it’s a great achievement that the film will feature a Mexican actor" the 45-year old told the newspaper. Shooting will start for him in early February 2008. "I still don’t know much of the script, I don’t really know what my scenes will be like, but I know that I’m going to film in Panama, Bolivia and London", the actor said. Related to this, CBn has just learned that Anatole Taubman is also scheduled for a Bolivia shoot, which makes Bolivia the fifth official location for Bond 22. Other locations include Italy, Austria, Panama and England.

Cosio also confirmed what has been rumoured long before: Italian actor Giancarlo Giannini will reprise his role as Rene Mathis from Casino Royale. "I’m very delighted to be in one film with Giannini and Judi Dench", the Mexican said. Still, "so far I’m not thinking about leaving for Hollywood after Bond 22. I’m very pleased with how my latest projects are going here in Mexcio."
