Bond’s Back in 2012 with “Skyfall”

Posted by @coltondaniel on November 4th, 2011

It’s official: the 23rd film in the James Bond franchise will again star Daniel Craig in Skyfall. Production begins Monday and it will hit North American theatres on Nov. 9, 2012.

Sidebar: this announcement was made in London 50 years to the day that Sean Connery was announced as the original Bond for Dr. No.

At Thursday’s press conference for the film, director Sam Mendes confirmed the cast will include Javier Bardem (as the cliche foreign-villian), Dame Judi Dench and the Bond girls will be …drumroll please… Naomie Harris and Berenice Marlohe! All were in attendance for the presser at London’s Corinthia Hotel in Whitehall Place.

Additional cast members who weren’t present due to work commitments include Albert Finney, Ralph “Lord Voldemort” Fiennes and Ben Whishaw.

The budget sits at a mere $230 million, despite MGM’s recent economic turmoil, which is the same budget as the previous Bond film, Quantum of Solace. This keeps Craig well-nourished and enables the crew to shoot in London, China, Turkey and Scotland.

As usual, the plot is kept fittingly secretive, though MGM released a statement that states “Bond’s loyalty to M. is tested as her past comes back to haunt her.”

One more detail was revealed, prepare yourselves because there will be: “a lot of action.”

Connery Wants To Be Bond’s Dad

Posted by andPOP Staff on March 22nd, 2007

SIR SEAN CONNERY wants to come out of acting retirement to play JAMES BOND’s father in the next 007 film.

The 76-year-old has been “resting” since making 2003 film THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN, but reveals he would jump at the chance to return to the superspy franchise – if producers can afford him.

Connery says, “I am resting from acting. So you could say I’m retired. It would have to be something really considerable to bring me back. It would have to be an offer that you can’t refuse.

“If there was a good part in a Bond film, I’d certainly look at it.

“I would never return as James Bond. If the part was well written, I could come back as Bond’s father but it would cost them. It would definitely cost them.”

The actor reveals he quit at Bond because of the overuse of gadgets – and his disappointing salary as the secret agent.

He adds, “I was getting disenchanted. Apart from the payment, which was puerile, they were bringing in a lit of science fiction stuff, like the poisonous shoe in FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE.

“They had all these gizmos, which today are commonplace, that I didn’t mind, but when you get into the nuclear stuff…”
