Bond 23 Set To Shock
Written by Ian Cullen on December 22, 2009 – 11:00 am -
Fans expecting the next bond movie to take on a lighter tone like the Roger Moore era will likely be disappointed. Bond 23 screenwriter Peter Morgan whose other writing credits include The Last King Of Scotland and Frost/Nixon has revealed that the next movie will be darker and grittier than the previous two Daniel Craig offerings.
While speaking to the long running James Bond fan site MI6, Morgan revealed that he and co – writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade (who worked on the previous two movies) have “a shocking story” for the movie.
He didn’t elaborate other than to say that the new movie will be “shocking”.
Pre-production on Bond 23 begins in February, at which time the financially-screwed MGM should have a new buyer. It’s believed the Lion’s new owner will immediately green-light Bond 23 to help recoup some of the coin they’ve just shelled out on buying the company. Expect the film sometime late 2011.
