The petrol heads over at motoring ezine skiddmark recently conducted a comprehensive interview with Mr David Arnold, music composer for James Bond. Within the interview the composer gave some hints to his future involvement in the new James Bond movie, Bond 23. When asked if he was returning to score the new Bond film (currently on hiatus), Arnold reportedly replied:

“I would never presume anything, but I would be surprised if I wasn’t but prepared not to be just in case it happens! I mean, I don’t know when the next one’s going to be, we were supposed to be doing it next year but obviously we have to wait for the situation with MGM to settle down, so I think it’ll probably be the year after. Certainly we’ve been talking about it with that in mind – that I’d be doing it – and I’m still involved with other things with EON anyway, for example I’m in talks to do some things for the 50th anniversary…”

Arnold has recently produced a studio album for 3-time Bond song-mistress Shirley Bassey, dubbed (excuse the pun, Dame Shirley) The Performance.

Michael Sheen jokes that he wants to play Miss Moneypenny in Bond 23

Posted by M in Actors, Rumors | No Comments

The Welsh actor who has become synonymous with the award-winning co-screenwriter of Bond 23, Peter Morgan joked to the presses recently that he would love to play M’s secretary, the lovely Miss Moneypenny – who has been absent fro the Craig era to date.

Last year Sheen was connected to the role of Blofeld by the tabloids but denied the rumors, most of which sprang from the announcement of Morgan’s involvement. The pair have both been involved in The Queen, Frost/Nixon, The Special Relationship and The Deal.

Peter Morgan has written the story for the next Bond film so there was that connection and then a journalist wrote as a joke that I would be playing Blofeld and that went viral,” he said. “When people ask me, I always say I’m playing Miss Moneypenny, which I wish was true but is not!

“I suppose it’s hard to play Blofeld now because of the Austin Powers films where Mike Myers plays Dr Evil. Roger Moore dropped him down a chimney didn’t he, so he’d have to come back all f**ked up!”

Sheen is clearly making light of the press’s original rumor.

Rumors suggest Craig’s Cowboy adventure will delay Bond 23 and a possible release date

Jan 29

Posted by M in Pre-Production, Releases, Rumors | 1 Comment

DreamWorks funded flick Cowboys and Aliens will see James Bond star Daniel Craig take the lead in this fantasy adventure film.

The film has been muted for some time and was waiting on Hollywood sensation Robert Downey Jr to be available to take the lead. Ultimately this has not been possible and the producers have turned to 007 star, Daniel Craig, who is of the same calibre but seemingly already available.

Entertainment Blog HitFix is claiming that this production schedule (shooting in mid 2010 for a release in 2011) may impinge on the new James Bond film. This prediction is in light of Dan’s unfavorable comments about the very tight shooting schedule on Quantum – going so far as to predict a very conservative summery 2012 release. At Bond 23 we have reservations about all speculation of this kind and advise fans to be wary of jumping to conclusions.

That said – the Bondsphere has gone dark since the leaking of Sam Mendes’ involvement in the Bond 23 production and very little is known about the exact shooting schedule of James Bond 23.

The latest rumors that hit the tabloids and internet sources in January was that if Mendes’ involvement was to be confirmed, we could be looking at a shooting schedule commencing in the summer of 2010. Before this revolation, Craig said it was his understanding that the production was to take place in late 2010.

HitFix also explain to us that it is their belief that a “Nov. 18, 2011” release date has been penciled in by the production. In general we have been expecting a late November release but we are yet to see a day in the 11th month muted by a reliable source. At this stage any fan might as well join a lottery and pitch in with release date predictions. At Bond 23 we are surprised that the tabloids have yet to predict a 11/11/11 release.
