With Bond 22 gearing up for production next month, two actors have gone on the record about their participation — or lack thereof — in the sequel to last year’s 007 franchise reboot, Casino Royale. Actor Joaquin CosÃo informed the Mexican newspaper El Diario that he will play one of the villains in the Marc Forster-directed film. Cosio revealed, “There are various enemies, and I’m one of them. I’m General Medrano, Bond’s enemy in Latin America, but there are other enemies waiting in Europe for Bond.” Cosio didn’t know when his scenes would be shot, but he revealed that he is expected to film in London, Panama and Bolivia. CommanderBond.net reports that Anatole Taubman, who was also recently cast as a secondary villain in Bond 22, will also be among the cast members filming in Bolivia.

Daniel Craig is disputing rumors that suggest that he has signed on for four more Bond films. Contrary to statements made by MGM honcho Harry Sloan to the Hollywood trade papers, actor Daniel Craig is not signed on to do four more James Bond films. So says 007 himself. While doing press in London for his new film The Golden Compass, Craig was asked about his contract for future Bond films. “I never said that,” Craig replied according to HisDarkMaterials.org. “Well, that’s what’s been said, it’s not that it’s not true, because I haven’t signed up. What I’ve done is I’ve signed up on the next movie [Bond 22], after that we’ll see. That’s the way I’m doing it, and certainly it’s not four more — that’s the truth. It’s certainly not four more.” As for the storyline, Craig reiterated what screenwriter Paul Haggis already revealed, saying, “It will actually follow on quite closely after the last story. That’s in, sort of elements of what happened in the last movie are going to be putting over into this one.” Click on the link to read the entire article: Buy the movie posters: Casino Royale Movie Posters New DVD Releases - Tuesday November 6, 2007Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

Mr. White Returns for Bond 22Monday, September 10th, 2007
Danish actor, Jesper Christensen will reprise his role as Mr. White in Bond 22. Mr. Bond isn’t done with Mr. White just yet. Danish actor Jesper Christensen, who played the mysterious Mr. White in Casino Royale, has informed the Danish press that he’ll be reprising his bad guy role for Bond 22. Both MI6.co.uk and CommanderBond.net point out that Christensen confirmed in an interview with Denmark’s vip.tv2.dk that Mr. White will be back. Looks like 007 (Daniel Craig) didn’t kill him at the end of Casino Royale after all. Mr. White was part of the shadowy terror-funding network that Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen) worked for. Mr. White killed Le Chiffre during Royale’s infamous torture scene, and was later seen absconding with the British funds that Vesper Lynd had stolen. Casino Royale ended with Bond ambushing White at his lakeside villa, shooting him in the knee before finally introducing himself as “Bond, James Bond.” Click on the link below to read the entire article: Buy the movie posters: Casino Royale Movie Posters Haggis Talks Bond 22Tuesday, August 28th, 2007
Paul Haggis talk about Bond 22. Read what he has to say and go to IGN.com to watch video: Oscar winner Paul Haggis was making the rounds doing press this past weekend for his new film In the Valley of Elah where he was peppered with questions about Bond 22. Haggis is currently rewriting the Bond 22 screenplay for Sony and director Marc Forster. “I’m on page 22. I’m not writing it today because I’m here, but I was writing it up until 8 p.m. last night. It’s a lot of fun. It’s a whole different set of muscles,” Haggis said at a press conference, according to Collider.com. He continued, “It’s something I was really concerned about doing because I liked Casino Royale so much, I had such fun doing it and I thought I could only fail by trying to do it again. But I’m giving it a shot and it’s an original and it’s not based on any book or short story or anything that Ian Fleming had done. Although it is based on Ian Fleming ideas. And it starts right after the last one, two minutes after Casino Royale this movie starts.” Haggis also said the film will not be jokier, as had previously been reported. ComingSoon.net quoted Haggis as saying that rumored contender Carice van Houten would not be playing the film’s Bond girl role. “She’s great, isn’t she — but she’s not going to be in this one,” Haggis reportedly said. “Everyone says they know what the ending is, and they’re wrong. Everyone thinks they know about the Bond Girls, and they’re wrong.” Click on the link to read the entire article and watch the video interview: Bond Goes Dutch?Thursday, April 26th, 2007
The next Bond Girl just might be Dutch Actress, Carice van Houten. Read on: The Bond movie rumor mill is back in high gear now that the 22nd installment in the long-running franchise is slated to begin shooting later this year for a 2008 release. The rumors are mostly focused on which actresses are in the running to play the “Bond Girl” love interest. Bear in mind, however, that most of these rumors turn out to be rubbish or are planted by actresses’ reps in order to raise their client’s profile. Following in the steps of previously rumored contenders Sienna Miller and Abbie Cornish is award-winning Dutch actress Carice van Houten. According to MI6.co.uk, van Houten “is currently being considered for the lead female role in Bond 22.” Click on the link below to read the entire article: Release date: November 7, 2008 Related All Movie Replicas Products Casino RoyaleWednesday, February 14th, 2007

The Bond sequel will not be based on Fleming’s short story, Risico. Read on: With James Bond proving to be more popular than he has been in years thanks to Casino Royale, the inevitable sequel to that film is already being hotly anticipated. Now, word has come from two of the writers of the film that contrary to previous reports, the follow-up film will not be based on the Ian Fleming short story Risico. “That’s not the case,” Robert Wade and Neal Purvis tell The Trades, before adding that the current plan is to start shooting the tightly guarded screenplay (for what is at the moment only known as Bond 22) at the beginning of 2008. The scripters also say that there’s currently no plan to reintroduce fan favorite characters like gadget-maker Q and ever-faithful secretary Moneypenny, both of whom were dropped for Casino Royale. “Some people think they should be there, and some people know that they shouldn’t be there,” Wade says. “With the way Casino Royale ends, you know there’s still unfinished business for Bond. He may say, ‘The name’s Bond, James Bond,’ but there’s still a lot of stuff churning up inside him. So, if you’re going to explore that, and we’ve got this great actor to do that with, what you don’t want to do is suddenly clamp it down with all these familiar elements that keep your focus off him. He’s the great asset.” Click on the link below to read the entire article: 007’s Next Mission Revealed?Thursday, December 14th, 2006
The follow-up to Casino Royale has been revealed. Read on: The follow-up to Casino Royale will reportedly be based on the Ian Fleming short story Risico, which appeared in his 1960 book For Your Eyes Only. “Bosses were so pleased with how well Casino Royale has been received that work has already commenced on Risico at Pinewood Studios,” claimed a source for the British tabloid The Sun. “Some of the same characters will crop up again. But one of the main aspects will be to develop Bond’s complex personality.” The problem with Risico is that its basic plot and characters was already used for the 1981 film version of For Your Eyes Only. In Fleming’s Risico, 007 is sent to Italy to investigate a heroin ring and crosses paths with the likes of Colombo and Kristatos, both of whom were featured in the Roger Moore movie. It should be noted that, although A View to a Kill (another short story in For Your Eyes Only) and FYEO have both been filmed, neither movie truly used the plots from their respective source novels. Fleming’s From a View to a Kill saw 007 investigating the murder of a dispatch-rider; FYEO had M sending Bond on an “off the books” assignment to avenge the murder of his old friends, the Havelocks, by Herr von Hammerstein. The film featured the murder of the Havelocks and the inclusion of their vengeful daughter, but M’s employing 007 as a means to fulfill a personal vendetta was not used. Fleming’s short stories 007 in New York and Quantum of Solace have never been referenced in any Bond film, and only a semblance of The Property of a Lady can be gleaned from the big-screen version of Octopussy. 007’s investigation of a female Secret Service double agent in that story could prove an interesting challenge for Bond in the next movie, especially in light of what transpired in Casino Royale.
