My Name is Bond, James Bond

I've been busy studying finals, or at least I should have been. However, I ran into this article that I couldn't help but post. The next James Bond movie, number 22 to be exact, has been confirmed. And not just confirmed, but the plot is said to pick up where Casino Royale left off.

007 ASTON MARTIN

I personally think that Casino Royale is the best modern day 007 movie that I've seen. I can't speak for the earlier ones, but I definitely prefer the new Bond, Daniel Craig, over Pierce Brosnan. The style of the movie is very different from the Pierce Brosnan era: instead of focusing on special effects and fancy high-tech gadgets, Casino Royale centers around the characters and their relationships with one another. It draws the audience in, and creates an emotional link between the viewers and the onscreen characters. Emotions other than those triggered by testosterone may begin to surface. However, the main theme of shooting people and sleeping with Bond girls is still there. Thank goodness. Hopefully the next Bond movie will continue this new style, and be as enjoyable as Casino Royale.

The bad news is that the movie doesn't come out until November of 2008!

With that being said, here's a snippet of the official article, as well as a link to it:

"Production designer Peter Lamont, who has worked on nearly every Bond film in some capacity, briefly discussed Bond 22 at a tribute to Pinewood Studios in France last week and confirmed the sequel approach." ... read the rest here.
