The other thing confirmed in that article is that they are going right into Bond 24 for a 2014 release.

Yeah be nice to see them get back to doing a film every 2 years!

My dream Moneypenny casting would still be Emilia Fox but not gonna happen sadly.

I hadn't noticed who wrote this post until I reached this sentenace. At that point, I didn't need to check.

My reputation precedes me...

I don't know. I'd rather they work slowly and polish the script so we don't get a Quantum Of Solace again

Quantum of Solace was a victim of the writer's strke. Craig and Forster actually had to come up with dialogue on the fly for a few rough patches in the script.

Exactly, I think it gives them plenty of time to get a decent script together--hall back in the day they used to put out a Bond a year (which might be pushing it a bit nowdays!)

As long as the quality is there. The Moore films ran into trouble being assembly-lined out too quickly. Also they need to give Craig room to breathe in other roles otherwise he might bolt if he finds himself stuck doing nothing like Bond (very few people can name anything else Roger Moore did other than Bond between 1973 and 1985 - I can only think of a cameo in Cannonball Run, an obscure war film called Sea Wolves, which was actually erroneously reported as a Bond film by some media when it was announced, and an even more obscure action film called ffolkes. That's pretty much all I can think of).

Exactly. As soon as The Spy Who Loved Me came out we had "Moonraker"

They weren't bad but they weren't that great.

"For Your Eyes Only" was great.

Followed by two lackluster entries with Octopussy and A View to a Kill

[Starkers]

Re Rog he also made The Wild Geese (my second favourite war film of all time) North Sea Hijack and Escape to Athena during his Bond tenure.

In fact for anyone who doesn't think Roger Moore was a convincing cold blooded killer I really recommend The Wild Geese, inside the first ten minutes he forces two mobsters at gunpoint to eat a bag of poisoned cocaine, then leaves them dying in agony on the floor with a coldblooded farewell that makes Connery look almost camp by comparison.

And it strikes me that 2 years between films gives Craig plenty of time to do other things, in fact given some of the underwhelming films he's done since Quantum it might be better for him if he didn't have so much time on his hands.

Besides, I want a Bond film every two years and that settles it

Lots of pictures on the net of the Turkey shoot


Here is some. Daniel Craig's wife Rachel Weisz stopped by the set

[Rush Limborg]

Wasn't there a big rumor that Rachel Weiz was supposed to be in the film?

Whatever became to that?

[Captaindemotion]

^ I think you may be thinking of The Bourne Legacy.
