"James Bond 23" officially slated for 2012!

[Aldo]

True, but I was commenting on the pictures I posted from filming, where Craig is in fact sporting a bit of stubble.

[Captaindemotion]

^ Fair enough. But was he onset or shooting in them (not a facetious question, I genuinely don't know)? They may or may not be shooting or rehearsals and he may or may not shave it off that night before tomorrow's shooting!

[Alidar Jarok]

He has make up used to represent blood in one of them. Doesn't strike me as a walk through rehearsal.

[Aldo]

If you look at one of the pictures of him sitting in the back of the truck, you can see a camera mounted in between the front two seats.

He's filming

I'm going to turn a bit fanboy here for a second, but about the song, I think there's a great opportunity here to do something really epic and have a Waters and Gilmour duet--something akin to pre-Darkside acoustic Floyd.

I mean what better way to celebrate an anniversary than blend the most "British" film franchise of the last half-century with the most "British" rock band of the last half century.

Okay, I know when I'm beaten!

I would love to see that but I know it will never happen.

Skyfall is a good name for a Bond flick. I'm really looking forward to this.

I was just wondering something, is Q coming back for this movie? And if he is, who is playing him.

[Whofan]

Well, there have been rumors that he and Moneypenny might be back in some form, but as far as crazy gadgets and stuff, they're still trying to distance themselves from the excess of the Brosnan era (Although there are still gadgets in the Craig films, they seem to have a more practical use). Then again, Q had fairly large roles in the Dalton movies, which like Craig's films were going for a more serious tone.

Are you saying that Q kind of equals crazy gadgets? I'm not sure I agree with that. Much like they did when they switched from Brosnan to Craig, they can find ways to scale back Q while still making him great.

Since Q stands for Quartermaster, we've actually already seen him, in all but name, in CR, implanting the chip into Bond's arm...

[David cgc]

Ah, yes, guy with mustache and no lines! I remember him, I always expected him to say something Q-ish.

[TedShatner10]

They need to get back a big brass band for the next Bond theme, avoiding grunge style rock at all fucking costs.

I'd actually thought that the fellow with greying hair guiding Bond through the portable defibrillator was Q, and the younger one was "R", as it were....

Still the bald mustached guy would also be a good candidate, I agree....
