Bond 24 Screenwriter Hypes Next Movie
As day follows night you can be sure of more Bond movies, although what isn’t always assured is who will return to write, direct and star. No changes there, the team that brought us Skyfall are returning for Bond 24 – that is Daniel Craig starring, Sam Mendes directing and John Logan writing.
As it happens, Logan has talked to Empire Magazine to hype up the project and on whether or not Quantum or S.P.E.C.T.R.E would return;
“There might be! Honestly, not being evasive, but the great thing about Bond is that I have fifty years of movies – 23 movies and all the Ian Fleming novels and short stories, all of which are fodder. And when I’m working on the new Bond I’m constantly going back to Fleming and the other movies – what are the bits and pieces, what are the resonances?
One of the things we learned in Skyfall is that the audience really enjoyed those, they enjoyed when they saw the Aston Martin, they enjoyed when we had references to things they grew up with, either from Ian Fleming or from the other movies, and that’s always been a part of my thinking about Bond.”
Personally, I think this combination is shit. See: Skyfall Review, Top Five: Worst Action Movies Of 2012, ManlyMovie Shits On 2015 Blockbusters and… finally, Ever Since GoldenEye, Bond Has Sucked.
“Right now the first draft is almost done,” he told us. “I’m terrifically excited about it! I’ve been working very closely with Sam (Mendes), and it’s been joyous to pick up from our work on Skyfall and just continue on with the storytelling. The new movie continues the themes of Skyfall. Some of the characters and themes that we began to introduce in Skyfall will play out, I hope successfully, in the next movie.”
On whether or not we’ll see any elements from CASINO ROYALE or QUANTUM OF SOLACE in BOND 24:
