has scored all of Sam Mendes‘ previous films except for Away
We Go, and the two are set to reunite again for Mendes’ upcoming
James Bond film, Skyfall. According to MI6,

due to his work as the music director for the 2012 London Olympics.
Producer
Michael G. Wilson confirms the title of the 23rd James Bond film is SKYFALL. Producers Michael G. Wilson and
Barbara Broccoli today presented the cast of the 23rd James Bond adventure,
entitled SKYFALL. The film, from Albert R. Broccoli’s Eon Productions,
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, and Sony Pictures Entertainment, is directed
by Academy Award® winner Sam Mendes and stars Daniel Craig, who returns
for his third film as James Bond 007. The screenplay is written by Neal
Purvis & Robert Wade and John Logan. SKYFALL, which goes into
production on Monday, November 7th, will begin its worldwide roll-out in
the UK and Ireland on October 26th 2012 and in North America on November
9th 2012.
Joining Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli
and Director Sam Mendes were members of the cast of SKYFALL, including:
Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Dame Judi Dench, Naomie Harris and Berenice
Marlohe. The filmmakers also announced Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney and
Ben Whishaw.
In SKYFALL, Bond’s loyalty to M is tested
as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must
track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.
“We’re so delighted to have Sam Mendes
direct SKYFALL and be working once again with Daniel Craig. We’ve a
great script, an extraordinary cast and an incredibly talented creative
team for this latest James Bond adventure,” said Wilson and Broccoli.
The Director of Photography is Roger Deakins,
a nine-time Oscar® nominee who previously shot the films Jarhead and
Revolutionary Road for Mendes. The Production Designer is Oscar® winner
Dennis Gassner, who previously designed Quantum of Solace and collaborated
with Mendes on the films Road to Perdition and Jarhead. The Editor is
Stuart Baird, A.C.E., whose many credits include Casino Royale. Jany
Temime, whose many credits include the Harry Potter series, In Bruges, and
Children of Men, is the Costume Designer. Action specialist Alexander Witt
is the 2nd Unit Director. Gary Powell is Stunt Co-ordinator, Chris
Corbould is SFX Supervisor and Steve Begg is Visual Effects Supervisor,
all of whom have worked on previous Bond films.
-The cast is confirmed: Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem (villain),
Bérénice Marlohe, Dame Judi Dench, Naomie Harris, Ralph Fiennes, and Ben
Wishaw. The first five are on stage.
The reason the press conference is being held in a central London hotel
and not Pinewood Studios is because shooting today is based around
Whitehall.
-Bérénice Marlohe will play ‘a glamorous, enigmatic character called
Severin’. The tabloid press actually got that one right. Confusion with
the villain’s name from the ‘Carte Blanche’ novel is bound to ensue,
despite confirmation that SKYFALL is not related to any existing Bond
property.
-Naomie Harris says she has spent two months training for her role. She
will play a field agent called Eve. No word of Miss Moneypenny being in
the film.
-Mendes responds to the tabloid chatter about his desire to scoop Oscar
nominations given his incredible cast. ”It’s not the reason you do a
movie and not the reason you do a Bond movie. For me, Bond movies are for
the audience and what happens afterwards is out of my hands.”
-Javier Bardem is talking. ”Who told you a villain is a bad person? For
me, it’s an honour to be at this table for many reasons. It will be fun
to do.”
-The budget for SKYFALL will be similar to ‘Quantum of Solace’ –
nothing will be cut back, and nothing in the script has been cut back from
their plans.
-The new girls have been busy honing their skills. Harris has been doing
Yoga three times a week, stunt driving, and firing machine guns – which
she loves – stunt training, jumping out of cars and running up and down
stairs. Marlohe has been shooting guns, too.
-The press conference has concluded. The panel did
an great job of keeping everyone engaged for 30 minutes whilst still not
giving too much away about the film. Not a huge amount of surprise for
readers on the details revealed, except perhaps the Severin character name
which was largely thought of as tabloid bunkum.
-When the panel is asked if the reason why three character names have not
been revealed it is because fans would recognise them, the audience is
told the question is well phrased and hint that is exactly the reason.
--Barbara Broccoli responds ”Definitely!” when
asked if Daniel Craig will do more Bond films after SKYFALL. Craig himself
says ”If I could do this for a few more years then I’ll be happy.”
It seems he will be on for Bond 24 at the very least.
-SKYFALL will be similar in tone to ‘Casino Royale’ – news which
will be received well by the vast majority of fans. Daniel Craig confirms
he does have a shirtless scene, too. Bond Girls rejoice.
-When asked, Sam Mendes hopes to direct another Bond
movie ”if this goes well”. The title SKYFALL has an ‘emotional
meaning’ which will be revealed in the film. Quantum will not be
involved.
The next Bond will start in October or November. I’m
really excited about the script, it’s fantastic,” he says. Craig became a
household name after his debut as Bond in Casino Royale (2006), a fact he
accepts with modesty. “I was glad to know that Bond fans accepted me after
Pierce Brosnan, who was incredible as James
Bond, he says.

http://www.metro.co.uk/ Shooting for the
movie could start as early as next summer, according to Deadline
Hollywood. The website reported that Sam Mendes has had to pull out of the
film The Hunger Games because he is getting ready to shoot Bond 23.
Daniel Craig is set to reprise his role as the womanising agent in the new
movie.
The future of the film was put in jeopardy after movie studio MGM - who
owns all the rights to the 007 series - was put on sale. Producer
Michael G Wilson said on the Bond website MI6: “Our timeline's a little
up in the air what with the situation at MGM, so we have to be flexible.
We just don't know enough about the situation to comment, but we know it's
uncertain.” Craig said previously: "I have
every confidence in Barbara [Broccoli , co-producer] and Michael's
decision and look forward to production resuming as quickly as possible."
007 producers, Michael G Wilson and BarbaraBroccoli
of EON Productions, today announced they have suspended development on
the next James Bond film previously scheduled for release 2011/2012.
"Due to the continuing uncertainty surrounding the future of MGM
and the failure to close a sale of the studio, we have suspended
development on BOND 23 indefinitely. We do not know when development...

Avatar, betting agencies are tipping Sam Worthington to slide into James
Bond's Aston Martin as the next 007.
The Australian hunk has become favourite, ahead of Will
Smith to replace Daniel Craig as the famed British spy on the big screen.
His interpretation of Corporal Jake Sully, a disabled soldier who falls in
love with an alien from Pandora in Avatar helped the James
Cameron film to overtake Titanic as the highest grossing film
ever.
Names being touted as his potential love interest as new Bond girls
include Britain's Cheryl Cole and Freida Pinto, who starred in Slumdog
Millionaire.
Worthington has also been mentioned as the man most
likely to reprise the role of Dracula in the next Hollywood incarnation of
the villain from Transylvania.
The only other Australian to play the hero, most
famously brought to life by Roger Moore and Sean Connery, was George

James
Bond fans to name new 007 blockbuster. London: James Bond
fans are being urged to suggest the title of the 23rd blockbuster 007
film, scheduled to hit cinemas next year. Bosses at MGM have admitted that
they are running out of names based on the best-selling novels of Ian
Fleming.

However, fans are lobbying studio executives to choose
between the names of two Fleming short stories with box office appeal.
And they've also come up with their own promo posters to show how good
they'd look.
One army of 007 fanatics is promoting Risico, originally written as part
of the For Your Eyes Only novelettes. It sees Bond being sent by M to
investigate a drug-smuggling operation based in Italy that is flooding
Britain with narcotics.
A rival group wants the next film to be called The Property Of A Lady,
another Fleming short story that sees Bond on the trail of a gorgeous
Russian double agent who has infiltrated our Secret Service.
A senior MGM executive said that director Sam Mendes has
been 'blown away' by creativity of the fans.

James Bond offered starring role in Versailles.
Parisian civil servants have tried to persuade 007's producers to set the 23rd
Bond adventure in the 17th-century château
Its overblown grandeur has been the setting
for many a period tale, from Stephen Frears's Dangerous Liaisons to
to Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. Now the guardians of the nation's most
famous château want the Palace of Versailles to make its mark on a much wider
audience - by virtue of a starring role in a future James
Bond movie.
Parisian civil servants have gone so far as to write a
storyline for 007, aimed at luring series producers Eon to the 17th-century
palace. Scenarios might include Bond chasing through the palace after
environmental terrorists, or perhaps making his escape through gardens designed
according to the exacting tastes of Louis XIV.
"We want to give the producers some ideas, because it
would be great to have James in the magnificent decor of the château," Stéphane
Martinet, the deputy director of the Paris region film commission, told the
Times. "Producers tend to think of it as a setting for period movies, but
these are not the most profitable films these days. We would like to get across
the message that Versailles could be a location for all sorts of different
movies."
A total of 165 movies have been filmed at Versailles, the home
of French royalty from 1682 until the revolution of 1789. The palace has been
increasingly opened up to film-makers since the French government asked it to
manage its own budget a decade ago.
These recent changes have sparked anger among some
traditionalists, with opponents claiming that the château is being turned into
a theme park. But Mr Martinet said the initiative, which is part of a concerted
attempt by French authorities to lure movie-makers from Hollywood, could only
help boost tourism and create employment.
Crews who cannot afford Versailles's €16,000-a-day (£14,000)
rate can choose to shoot at an ordinary château for as little as €4,500. Last
year the government also introduced a 20% tax break for film-makers shooting in
France's stately homes.
Bond's 23rd adventure is set for
release next year, with Daniel
Craig reprising his role as the secret agent; the Oscar-winning
British film-maker Sam Mendes is to direct.

Susan Boyle to star in James Bond movie?
Nu är uppladdningen i gång inför nästa Bond film som ännu inte har fått något
namn men går under Bond 23 tagit fart lagom inför julen.
Namnet är Boyle, Susan Boyle.
Den skotska stjärnan sjunger i nästa James Bond
film, som förbinder Sean Connery annan berömd
skotsk stjärna, att lämna sin prägel på James Bond franchise.
Producenterna av de nya, ännu namnlösa-Bond-filmen, har vänt sig till Boyle för
att sjunga titeln melodi av den nya filmen, den 23: e Bond produktionen, som väntas
släppas under 2011.
Susan's fans har redan gått med i satsningen. En
fullfjädrad Internet kampanj pågår för att få den skotska songstress vråla
ut öppningen tune, liksom Shirley Bassey och andra
ledande stjärnor har gjort tidigare. Det kan även vara lite egenskap del,
enligt rapporter.
Bond-tema kompositör Monty
Norman sade till Sunday Express: "Hon har rätt sorts svepande röst."
Susan skulle bli den andra stora skotska stjärna
från Glasgow att göra sin debut i Bond-filmer.
Sean Connery var ansiktet och persona av James Bond under många år och gjort
rollen berömda.
The producers of the next Bond film have approached Boyle to sing the title
tune.
The name is Boyle, Susan Boyle.
The Scottish star seems set to sing in the next James
Bond movie, joining Sean Connery
another famous Scottish star, to leave their mark on the James Bond franchise.
The producers of the new, as yet-unnamed Bond film, have approached Boyle
to sing the title tune of the new movie, the 23rd Bond production, which is
expected to be released in 2011.
Susan's fans have already joined in the effort. A full-fledged internet
campaign is under way to have the Scottish songstress belt out the opening
tune, like Shirley Bassey and other
leading stars have done in the past. There may even be a bit acting part,
according to reports.
Bond theme composer Monty Norman
told the Sunday Express: "She has the right kind of sweeping voice."
Susan would be the second great Scottish star from the Glasgow
to make her debut in Bond films. Sean Connery was the face and persona of
James Bond for many years and made the role famous. irishcentral.com

Det spekuleras i att James Bond ska bytas ut efter nästa film vilket därmed
betyder att Daniel Craig ska ersättas. Enligt spelbolagen är det
troligast att det blir Colin Farrell som kniper den eftertraktade
rollen. Bland Unibets lista över tänkbara kandidater till agenten med
rätt att döda återfinns tre svenskar, Mikael Persbrandt, Peter
Stormare och Stellan Skarsgård. De har dock väldigt höga odds.
Det finns svenska namn bland potentiella bondbrudar också. Enligt
Unibets lista har programledaren Carolina Gynning större chans att bli
bondbrud än Victoria Beckham. Men även Carolina har ett högt odds.
Hon ger en utdelning på 100 gånger pengarna.
Persbrandts ex-flickvän Maria Bonnevies chanser anses mycket större.
Om hon blir nästa bondbrud ger hon 35 gånger pengarna. Allra troligast
är det dock, enligt spelbolagen, att Scarlett Johanson kniper rollen.
Sveriges egen James Bond, Gunnar Schäfer menar att det är få
Bondbrudar som har varit kända innan de varit med i filmen och att det
därför bör bli en outsider.
– Bland de svenska kandidaterna tror jag på Carolina Gynning. Och i så
fall som den elaka bruden. Varje film har ju en god och en ond, så
kanske kommer hon spela KGB-agent eller terrorist, säger Gunnar
"James Bond" Schäfer, i ett pressmeddelande.
– Det är tretton år sen vi senast såg en svensk Bondbrud och det
var i Golden Eye då Izabella Scorupco gestaltade en rysk
dataprogrammerare. Vi tror att det snart kan vara dags igen, säger
Andreas Slätt, Marknadschef på Unibet i Sverige.
James Bond 23 har ännu inget namn.
