Template:Future film Template:Infobox Film Bond

Bond 22 is the working title of a future EON Productions' James Bond film, the sequel to the 2006 film Casino Royale, which rebooted the Bond franchise. Daniel Craig will reprise the role of James Bond, and Marc Forster will direct. Screenwriters Paul Haggis, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade returned for the film. Bond 22 was originally scheduled for a 2 May 2008 release, but was pushed back to 7 November 2008 to allow more time to complete the film.

Premise

A backstory had been written for Casino Royale and its potential sequel. Eva Green said it may come into play with the introduction of Vesper Lynd's Algerian boyfriend, who was intended to be one of the antagonists in the film. Paul Haggis has confirmed that the film will pick up two minutes after Casino Royale, when a wounded Mr. White is confronted by Bond. Daniel Craig noted that the filmmakers have "set up the idea now that there's an organization out there that needs to be sorted out, and got a sense of revenge."

Cast

  • Daniel Craig as James Bond: Craig stated that Bond continues to learn throughout the film, and that he would be "still too headstrong and always make the right decisions." Writer Paul Haggis said that Bond will be "a very human and flawed assassin, a man who has to navigate a morally complex and often cynical world while attempting to hold onto his deep beliefs of what is right and wrong." The actor gave advice to Haggis on the script and also helped choose Marc Forster as director, being a fan of his films. Craig's training for his reprisal involves more boxing and running, so as to avoid injuries caused by the lack of him running and jumping for the stunts from his debut. He also practised speedboating.
  • Mathieu Amalric as Maurice Green, the villain.
  • Anatole Taubman is playing a secondary villain to Almaric's character, though he said his role is larger than a mere henchman.
  • Joaquin Cosío as General Medrano, who is Bond's enemy in Latin America.
  • Judi Dench as M. Dench had not read the script a month before filming began. "I've only been told that this will be an original storyline — and that's it," she said.
  • Giancarlo Giannini as René Mathis: A French double agent who helps Bond find who Mr. White and Le Chiffre worked for.
  • Jesper Christensen as Mr. White, whom Bond captured after he stole the money won at Casino Royale in Montenegro.
  • Gemma Arterton in an unnamed role.

Although imagery of her character may feature, Eva Green will not film any new footage as Vesper Lynd for the film. Haggis stated that he would like Jeffrey Wright to return as Felix Leiter. The characters Miss Moneypenny and "Q" are not in earlier of the story. According to casting notices sent out by the producers Broccoli and Wilson, one of the Bond girls will be played by a Latina actress in her late 20s, preferably from South America.

Production

In July 2006, as Daniel Craig's debut as James Bond, Casino Royale, entered post-production, EON Productions announced Bond 22 would be based on an original idea by producer Michael G. Wilson. Roger Michell was being negotiated with to direct. The film was confirmed for a 2 May 2008 release date, with Craig reprising the lead role. Michell, who previously worked with Daniel Craig on Enduring Love and The Mother, decided not to direct the film, stating, "I was very nervous that there was a start date but really no script at all. And I like to be very well prepared as a director." Sony Entertainment vice-chairman Jeff Blake admitted that a production schedule of eighteen months was a very short window. The release date was eventually pushed back to 7 November 2008.

Neal Purvis and Robert Wade completed their draft of the script by April 2007. Wade said that the film would continue Bond's arc from Casino Royale: "It can't just be he's tough and he's tempered steel and totally impervious. There are things he still has to resolve." The following month, Paul Haggis, who had polished the Casino Royale script, began his re-write. Haggis turned down directing the film because, "It's a two year commitment basically to do it. If you do that on top of writing, it's almost a three year commitment." In writing the script, Haggis drew inspiration from Bond creator Ian Fleming, and author John le Carré. In September 2007, Haggis began his second draft, and he completed his script two hours before the Writers Guild of America strike of November 2007 officially began.

In June 2007, Marc Forster was confirmed as the director of Bond 22. He was surprised that he been approached for the job, stating he was not a big Bond fan as a child and that he would not have accepted the job before he saw Casino Royale. He felt Bond had been humanized in that film, explaining, "People travel a lot more now, and with the Internet they’re more aware of what the rest of the world is like. In a way the most interesting place for a James Bond movie to go is inward — deeper into Bond himself." Born in Switzerland, Forster is the first Bond director to not come from the Commonwealth of Nations, although he slyly noted that Bond's mother is Swiss, making him somewhat appropriate to handle the British icon.

Production designer Peter Lamont, who has been a crew member on eighteen Bond films, will not be continuing with Bond 22. Despite commenting on the state of the production earlier in the year, leading many to believe he was continuing his role, Lamont has stated that Dennis Gassner will take over the production designer role. In addition, London-based tailors Dunhill will be providing Bond's suits. The Italian Brioni had provided the costumes for the film series since GoldenEye (1995). Dunhill had tailored suits for Daniel Craig to wear at various publicity events.

Filming

File:James Bond 22small.JPG
Daniel Craig was present during the 2007 Palio di Siena

The town council of Siena gave permission for the crew to shoot at the Palio di Siena horse race on 16 August 2007. Fourteen cameras were placed around the arena, though helicopters were banned, and the crew were forbidden from showing any violence "involving either people or animals". The shots of the race will be edited into the action sequence, which will be filmed during the main shoot in 2008. Afterward, scouting took place in Craco, the Montecotugno di Senise dam and the road around San Biagio and Maratea. From 23rd-29th August, the second-unit shot at Madrid, and were scheduled to be in Panama during early November.

Principal photography was going to begin on 10 December 2007 but was pushed back to 4 January 2008. Filming will be based at Bond's spiritual home of Pinewood Studios in the UK, including the newly rebuilt 007 Stage. The shoot will last six months, beginning in Central America, where locations include Panama and Bolivia. Filming will also take place in Italy. Forster has expressed interest in the Swiss Alps as a location and also scouted Bregenz in Austria in late June 2007 to test shoot a production of Tosca on the lake's floating opera stage.

Vehicles and gadgets

Ford has a three-film deal that began with 2002's Die Another Day. The Aston Martin DBS V12 will return in the film, and will be supplied with some gadgets. After seeing the Israeli weapon the IMI Tavor TAR-21 at the MILIPOL exposition in Paris, one film producer has suggested to EON to include it in Bond 22.

Video game adaptation

Main article: Bond 22 (video game)

In May 2006 Activision acquired non-exclusive rights to develop and publish James Bond games; an exclusive deal with Activision took effect in September 2007. During an earnings report, Bobby Kotick, the CEO of Activision, announced that their first Bond game would be released in May 2008. Previously it was reported by Variety that Activision's first game is expected to be a tie-in to Bond 22.
