I have to share this with you. I know most of you don't care about the subject matter, but oh well. I'm excited.
EON productions, the company who makes James Bond movies, has officially announced today the next Bond film, called Bond 21 until now, will be titled Casino Royale and be directed by Martin Campbell. Campbell directed the 1995 Bond film Goldeneye. It is considered by many fans the best of the Pierce Brosnan era. I would agree with this.
The news is wonderful for many reasons. 1. Campbell did a great job with the last Bond picture he did. 2. The title is the only one of Ian Fleming's that hasn't been used. 3. If the rumors of going back to the roots of Bond and doing a small scale film, instead of an action piece, are true then Casino Royale is the perfect book to follow.
The only down side of this news is the producers, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, didn't confirm who the new James Bond would be or if John Cleese would appear as Q. Speculation is saying Q will not be featured in the new film. That would be a huge mistake on the producers and writers part.
This news has made me so happy, which is good because I was having a downer of a day. This is so great.
