    Was there ever any hint that Bond's parents were murdered? I didn't ever get that from anything.

    Rumor bin is kind empty. I do hope to hear about Deakins on board next, but I'd also love to know the villain. Do you think the script is done? Are they far enough along to start asking actors about playing the villain?

    No there wasn't, and I didn't either.
    Besides, we already knew that they died in an accident, so...

    I'd also loooove to hear good news regarding Deakins. [-O<

    I think the script may be in decent shape by now. Logan and Mendes supposedly hammered out some ground ideas last year so if nothing has changed they continue on from there. It may very well be more than a draft, and i'm sure they're eyeing for people but that's nothing is definite - yet.

    I heard a rumor many moons forthwith; that M will die.

    So the Helen Mirran thing is interesting I hate to say it but until 2014 I fear this place will be very quiet.

    Any Blofeld rumours would be most welcome!

    I know I said it elsewhere, but I think Mirren as the head of Quantum (I know a few of us have stated our interest in the head of Quantum being played by a woman) would be a good choice, though if it comes to thinking of an even better choice for a female head, I'd go with Tilda Swinton or (level with me) Brigitte Nielsen, circa 'Beverly Hills Cop II.'

    Roland Emmerich wants to direct a future Bond film
    Bond News - 05-09-13
    "Independence Day" director Roland Emmerich has gone on the record that he wants to direct a future James Bond film.

    In a new interview with Yahoo Movies, the director dispelled a myth that he was once under consideration for the job on "Die Another Day" in 2002 (directed by Lee Tamahori) but admits he woudl be up for the job now, “Especially after the last one [‘Skyfall’],” he said, “because they’ve finally have the guts to go in different moods.”

    He added: “I think [directing] a classic Bond film, no. But if they would let me do my Bond film the same way they let English director Sam Mendes do his Bond film, then that’d be interesting. Have a word with Barbara Broccoli when you get back.”

    Emmerich 's next big project is "Independence Day 2"

    "Skyfall" director Sam Mendes will be back to helm Bond 24 in 2015 with Daniel Craig donning 007's tuxedo for the fourth time. He is contracted for five films.
  • 'Pots and kettles' springs to mind seeing as all of Emmerich's films are a poor excuse for a CGI-fest with absolutely no plot or character development. I would personally hunt down M&B if they ever let this guy ever near Bond.

    Oh god I hope not. Emmerich is as overrated as Michael Bay. We'd have another DAD on our hands.
  • Emmerich makes Tamahori look like a good director.

    (OK he doesn't, but I'm just emphasising how much I don't like him).

    If Emmerich directs a Bond film, then we know the plot already: finding out who is responsible for blowing up the White House.

    Also starring Will Smith as M! Can't forget. Out of all of the director's I've heard throw their name into the 'directing rumor bin' for Bond films, I think the only one I'm really interested in is Christopher Nolan. I would love to see a Tarantino or Michael Mann Bond film, but I'm sure the former's would be way too different and the latter's style would be so different that people would probably hate it. I'm sure I would love it, though.

    Actually, Buckingham Palace being blown up could be interesting.

    I hope his wish doesn't come true. Emmerich is precisely that type of "generic action" director who should never be hired for a modern James Bond film. He falls into the same category as Rob Cohen.
  • I read an article that said Ariel Winter was being considered for 24's love interest. And I mean, yeah, she's cute and all, but still, underage Bond Girl, eeeeeeewwwww. Bond himself agrees, doesn't he, Bibi?

    Thankfully, upon closer inspection, I found the article was hosted on a parody site.

    Which, I daresay, would merit its, ahem, <u>exclusion</u> from this thread.

    James Bond 24: good kissing BIU Health
    biusante published by April 1, 2014
    A scene from the next James Bond turned to the BIU Health

    After the Bibliothèque Sainte -Geneviève , chosen by Martin Scorsese for a scene of his film Hugo Cabret (2011) , it was the turn of another Parisian library, BIU Health , to be chosen as a location by producers Hollywood . And it is nothing less than the most famous secret agent of his gracious majesty that our institution has had the honor of hosting it a few days ago , for the filming of a scene from the next episode of the series , Another Way to kill - if this is indeed the final title that will be used ( James Bond 24).

    Mr. Cobolet , director of the BIU Health , received Sunday, March 30 ( in the greatest secrecy ) Sam Mendes , the director, Daniel Craig , who plays James Bond, as well as the technical team for the realization of a scene in the reading room of the Medicine pole. The sequence consists of a filmed interview turning psychological confrontation between James Bond and his nemesis , Blofeld , finally back in the series in the guise of actor Benedict Cumberbatch . Regulation of the library , which does not normally allow animals in the reading room was exceptionally relaxed so that the British comedian can hold her white angora cat.
    Only authorized Photo : Cat Blofeld enthroned before the paper library files .

    Director Sam Mendes Cobolet thanked for its hospitality and said he was very pleased with the decor and light , which he considered a perfect fit with the desired intensity for this scene . He returned the next day his team and the rest of the cast , Ralph Fiennes (M) , Naomie Harris ( Moneypenny ), Ben Wishaw (Q) and Penelope Cruz ( new Bond girl ) , for other sequences shot Paris. These would include a large action scene having the Esplanade des Invalides framework .

    James Bond 24th name released in the UK October 23, 2015.


    Picking apart the rumour

    - possible title: 'Another Way to Kill'

    - scenes filmed at The Inter-University Science Library (BIUS) and L'Hôtel national des Invalides, Paris

    - psychological confrontation between Bond and Blofeld (Benedict Cumberbatch) complete with white cat

    - Bond girl: Penelope Cruz


    It's certainly high time Bond went to Canada, and I do see Cruz as a Bond girl. Is it merely nonsensical ramblings, an April fools joke, or could it be something more?

    Well, what on earth do we know about the source?

    It smells like just someone having a lark, And it's on a blog, for pity's sake.
    How can this not be a joke?

    Of course I do. That's why I'm taking it with a grain a salt.

    Every bit of it is false. I was stumped as to why you'd think for a moment that there may be something more to it.
