The New James Bond movie: Bond 22




Well it's underway ... so there won't be a long wait as there was after "Die Another Day." Thank Heavens! It still doesn't have a title but production started on January 7 at the Pinewood studios in London, and if all goes well the movie will be released on May 2, 2008. So get ready. It promises to be a big one.

Daniel Craig is again in the lead role as 007, but there will be a lot of new faces. Two new " Bond Girls" have been selected. They are the sultry Ukranian actress Olga Kurylenko, who will play opposite Bond, and the British actress Gemma Arterton, who will play an MI6 agent. The villains have also been selected; they are the French actor Mathieu Amalric, and the Swiss actor Anatole Taulman. And returning to her role as M is Judy Dench.

As you might expect with the tremendous success of Casino Royale, this is a sequel. Bond is out for revenge for the killing of his girl, and it promises to produce some exciting action. It will be filmed mainly in Siena, Italy, with scenes in London, and possibly Austria.


The Aston Martin DBS will be featured as Bond's car, but no one has said much about gadgets. And since there weren't any in Casino Royale, I expect this trend will continue. It would be nice, though to see a few. But I'm sure the action will make up for it.


So get ready!!
