 James Bond sequel planned for 2-007 Originally posted at femalefirst.co.uk (!), but linked from CommanderBond.net:
Quote: ames Bond bosses want to release the sequel to new movie 'Casino Royale' next year - because the date ends in 007. Producers are keen to take advantage of the numerical significance with the suave spy's special agent number and want to start work on the project as soon as shooting has finished on the current film. A source told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "The next one will be in 2007 - Bond's year. It will mean back-to-back shooting but then the next film will pick up where 'Casino Royale' leaves off anyway." However, the decision will mean new Bond Daniel Craig will not have a break between movies and will have to juggle promotional commitments for 'Casino Royale' with filming. Since Craig was announced as the latest actor to don the secret agent's famous tuxedo he has faced a barrage of criticism. Some angry fans of the franchise even started an online petition, found on website http://www.craignotbond.com, urging movie goers to boycott the new film.

whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
I think everyone involved understood how significant 2007 was, it's probably been on the forefront of their marketing strat since 1995 or earlier.
But back to back films with an unproven Bond. Not to mention an apparent series story arc?
god no. NO NO NO.

Hmmmmm, it is very risky, but it could pay off.

Since the new one is coming out in late 2006, they might as well just push the release dat a couple of months to 2007. I know the Bond films used to be released a year apart, but that was grueling for Connery even when the productions were shorter. I think Craig will do good, but I think they should just push back the new one than rushing a 2nd on into production, especially if this one is suppose to be very good anyhow

I feel confident in Casino Royale after that teaser, but it's really a risk to take on a second Bond within one year with an actor that hasn't proven that he can be a good Bond.
Despite the '2007' release date, if people don't accept Craig in Casino Royale, this might not do well.

Not to mention, SMERSH, SPECTRE, and key characters aside, 007 films are stand alone.
As interesting as it would be for Pierce's Bond to talk about how hot Bambi and Thumper were, there just isnt any spill over story wise.

It might be a bit risky, but I'm now getting the feeling that people are underestimating Casino Royale. I'm not worried.

If this was on their radar, why didn't they just push Casino Royale to 2007? It would have made more sense then trying to do back-to-back Bonds. If they had delayed Casino Royale a year, they would have got the double whammy of having both Fleming's first book back in movie form and 2-007. Plus the new Bond. Hell, if they had pushed it back a year, maybe they could have found a better Bond.  It just doesn't make sense to have another Bond movie next year. It'll do really poorly. _________________Magic Mike wrote: zwackerm wrote: If John Wick 2 even makes 30 million I will eat 1,000 shoes. Same. Algren wrote: I don't think. I predict.
