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.

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?

Money trumps art.
Geez, haven’t they run out of clever titles yet?
Are you kidding, she and I had chemistry! :O)
Where have you been? Bond has always been as macho as Rock Hudson.
Heh. :)
Unlike many of the bond women Eva Green can act (as well as look good) :) Loved her in Kingdom of Heaven.
I haven’t seen that, but you’re right. She can act. I was impressed.
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.
He said that was a joke.
Craig said he would show his wee wee or kiss a guy to make the Bond movie a success.
Are you suggesting that Rock Hudson was GAY?
“Are you suggesting that Rock Hudson was GAY?”
LOL
The nerve of some people. :)
No way. The man could sing!
