Daniel Craig Says Bond 23 To Start Shooting Late 2010

Screen rant ^ | 10.24.09

[Perdogg]

Yesterday, a snippet of info from James Bond himself, Daniel Craig, made its way online about the upcoming sequel to Quantum of Solace, referred to as simply Bond 23 for the time being. A Bond fansite called Commanderbond.net picked up on the info which came from when Craig was signing autographs after a performance of his stage play, A Steady Rain, with Hugh Jackman.

[Borges]

They should totally keep the title ‘Bond 23’.

[omega4179]

Is this the one where he goes gay?

[fantom]

No . This is the one where he votes against the Labour Party.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Any truth to the rumor this one will be called “Iceberg Lettuce” ?

[ozzymandus]

I can’t figure out why they picked an ugly little man who looks like Vladimir Putin to play James Bond. Not that it matters, I haven’t bothered to watch a Bond movie in years.

[NormsRevenge]

I have to give a 2 thumbs in yur eye award to the latest James Bond for getting the living begeesus beat out of him and always coming thru at the end. wow.

[red-dawg]

< yaaaawwnnnn > I can't wait.

The last two were more like batman movies than James Bond. Just a bunch of fist fights, seriously lacking on the fancy new gadgets and not very much plot.

[papasmurf]

“Is this the one where he goes gay?”

My thought, too. I hope not. I liked this guy as Bond, but if he does, I’m outta’ here.

[trisham]

I think he’s the best since Connery, but if the plots take a left turn, I will no longer be a fan.

[papasmurf]

I feel the same way. First Bond in a long time I actually felt as though he WAS Bond...

James Bond.

[trisham]

Exactly. :) Imho, the worst was Roger Moore. No sense at all of threat behind those eyes. He was the most limp-wristed of the Bonds.

Bond should be a tuxedo wearing, martini drinking, sophisticated gentleman with a bit of potential violence lurking just barely under the surface.

[papasmurf]

No, no, no! LOL Brosnan was the worst, he made Moore look like Ali! hahaha

If any Bond should should have “come out” as gay, it’s Pierce Brosnan, the little sweet bird that he is. LOL

[trisham]

Are you KIDDING me!

Seriously, both were bad. :)

[Snurple]

Agree! I always liked this pic of craig as bond. He looks like he would enjoy popin a cap in a bad guy.

[papasmurf]

hahahaha

[Shqipo]

I like this guy as Bond. Hardass, less techno-crap use, goes for the jugular without being cute about it.

[trisham]

Agreed. I also thought this was the best Bond girl: She and Craig had chemistry, and she was much more interesting than the others, who always struck me as one- dimensional.

[papasmurf]

He really does look the part, especially considering the times we are in. Him and Connery...the best.

[Oratam]

I thought the plan was to “reinvent” the franchise by making movies faithful to Flemings stories in the order they were published. Am I mistaken?

[papasmurf]

Who's the best?

Have a favorite Bond moment? Maybe it's one of the best Bond moments.

	Sean Connery (1962 – 1967; 1971; 1983)		Timothy Dalton (1987 – 1989)
	George Lazenby (1969)		Pierce Brosnan (1995 –2002)
	Roger Moore (1973 – 1985)		Daniel Craig (2006 – present)

The Lesser Known Bonds:

David Niven (1967)

Barry Nelson (1954)

[papasmurf]

Money trumps art.

[Revolting cat!]

Geez, haven’t they run out of clever titles yet?

[papasmurf]

Are you kidding, she and I had chemistry! :O)

[Snurple]

She is a very hot looking girl....

[Revolting cat!]

Is this the one where he goes gay?

Where have you been? Bond has always been as macho as Rock Hudson.

[trisham]

Heh. :)

[trisham]

Maybe it’s because she had more of a role than the other Bond girls, but she was so much more interesting a character. I’ve seen more than a few Bond movies, and that was one of the best.

[Snurple]

Unlike many of the bond women Eva Green can act (as well as look good) :) Loved her in Kingdom of Heaven.

[trisham]

I haven’t seen that, but you’re right. She can act. I was impressed.

[papasmurf]

Is this the one where he goes gay?

Where have you been? Bond has always been as macho as Rock Hudson.

"Daniel Craig has revealed that he is pressuring producers to include a gay scene in the next James Bond film".

The dialog beteen Vesper and Bond on the train was pretty neat....

Vesper Lynd: [introducing herself to Bond] I'm the money.

James Bond: Every penny of it. James Bond: About you, Miss Lynd? Well, your beauty's a problem. You worry you won't be taken seriously.

Vesper Lynd: Which one can say of any attractive woman with half a brain.

James Bond: True. But this one overcompensates by wearing slightly masculine clothing. Being more aggressive than her female colleagues. Which gives her a somewhat *prickly* demeanor, and ironically enough, makes it less likely for her to be accepted and promoted by her male superiors, who mistake her insecurities for arrogance. Now, I'd have normally gone with "only child," but by the way you ignored the quip about your parents... I'm going to have to go with "orphan."

Vesper Lynd: All right... by the cut of your suit, you went to Oxford or wherever. Naturally you think human beings dress like that. But you wear it with such disdain, my guess is you didn't come from money, and your school friends never let you forget it. Which means that you were at that school by the grace of someone else's charity: hence that chip on your shoulder. And since you’re first thought about me ran to "orphan," that's what I'd say you are. [he smiles but says nothing]

Vesper Lynd: Oh, you are? I like this poker thing. And that makes perfect sense! Since MI6 looks for maladjusted young men, who give little thought to sacrificing others in order to protect queen and country. You know... former SAS types with easy smiles and expensive watches. [Glances at his wrist] Vesper Lynd: Rolex?

James Bond: Omega. Vesper Lynd: Beautiful. Now, having just met you, I wouldn't go as far as calling you a cold-hearted bastard...

James Bond: No, of course not. Vesper Lynd: But it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine. You think of women as disposable pleasures, rather than meaningful pursuits. So as charming as you are, Mr. Bond, I will be keeping my eye on our government's money - and off your perfectly-formed arse.

James Bond: You noticed?

Vesper Lynd: Even accountants have imagination. How was your lamb?

James Bond: Skewered! One sympathizes.

Vesper Lynd: Good evening, Mr. Bond.

James Bond: Good evening, Ms. Lynd.

Vesper Lynd: [introducing herself to Bond] I'm the money.

James Bond: Every penny of it.

[Perdogg]

He said that was a joke.

[omega4179]

Craig said he would show his wee wee or kiss a guy to make the Bond movie a success.

[trisham]

Are you suggesting that Rock Hudson was GAY?

[papasmurf]

“Are you suggesting that Rock Hudson was GAY?”

LOL

[Snurple]

[trisham]

The nerve of some people. :)

[trisham]

No way. The man could sing!

[Snurple]

LOL. Truth is stranger than fiction...Gomer and Rock lovers????Nah....didn’t see that one coming.

[trisham]

Fortunately, there are no gay actors today. Whew!

[The Wizard]

I woun’t be going to see putin as bond

[papasmurf]

Rock was (what is called) a “chicken hawk” in the gay community. He liked the young ones.

Nabors has never admitted to being gay, despite the rumor that he and Rock were secretly married. NNDB lists his sexual orientation as: Matter in Dispute. LOL

[Justaham]

Daniel Craig also said that the next Bond should be a black man. And Jamie Foxx was the first to bid for the role.

[papasmurf]

He’s a good actor, no doubt. But, I’d prefer someone more like Samuel L. Jackson or Laurence Fishburne, I say “like” because they are too old, IMO. Cuba Gooding or Will Smith would be great.

[Tainan]

A Better Bond...and none of the poof questions would have ever entered the conversation:


Thean who should be Bond....James Bond.

[papasmurf]

Well, I would like to keep Craig around for a while, as long as he doesn’t go all tooty-fruity on us. If he does, btw, he’ll seriously damage the Bond “franchise”.

[Perdogg]

I saw Thunderball tonight uncut. Women in the media have certainly changed in 45 years. Neither Luciana Paluzzi nor Claudine Auger, nor Molly Peters were skinny women. In fact, Claudine was putting her high waisted white shorts to the stress test. However, they looked like women! But boy, that black and white bikini on Claudine at the beach.

[Impy]

Even it wasn’t a joke the producers would never do that.
