The release date for BOND 22, the sequel to CASINO ROYALE, has penciled in it's release date as May 2, 2008.

Daniel Craig will reprise his role as a British secret agent for Columbia Pictures. The story is as of yet unknown.

Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli made the announcement saying, "As we wrap production on 'Casino Royale' we couldn't be more excited about the direction the franchise is heading with Daniel Craig. Daniel has taken the origins of Ian Fleming's James Bond portraying, with emotional complexity, a darker and edgier 007,"

CASINO ROYALE will be released this November.

Isn't this jumping the gun quite a bit?

Can someone explain the necessity to plan ahead for another Bond even though the new 007 has yet to appear on screen. This could be another Lazenby episode, or it could be trying to turn the franchise into some kind of wing ding wannabe Bond/Matrix style. Which could work for the times but has to be done well, and redoing an already well established story with Casino Royale is someones best intentions and minimal thought process at its worst.

So, the guys marketing The Omen were smart enough to tie it in to 6/6/06 but the people behind Bond aren't smart enough to tie in 2007? I mean, push Casino Rouge back to January 2007, and rush Bond 22 to get it out for December 2007... you've got the Year of Bond. They started pre-production on Bond 22 before Casino Rouge even began filming, so they could get it done in time.

You know what would make me REALLY like Bond? If they stopped making them for like five years. The rule of them for Hollywood is trilogy. Bunch of trilogies. Yet with Bond I can't even count how many there are. Its like all the Star Trek stuff. Let it die down and the WHAM! hit us with a new one. I'd like it more then. Oh and nikodemos is right. It'd be cooler if Bond was in 2007. Lot more to market. Someone dropped the ball on that.

Wessmith... I'm not saying its really a big deal, I just think its kind of funny, purely from a marking perspective. You are releasing a 007 movie in 2006 and one in 2008, and skipping the obvious 2007 tie in. I realize production issues, etc., all have a big part in that, but I just found it interesting. And, I agree, as a Bond fan, I really just want a good Bond movie, no matter when it is released.

Release dates should not matter, what did Hollywood forget: "Quality, not Quantity"

I said it before - i could give a rat's ass. casino royal has even been released yet

I agree with nikodemos...the Omen campaign paid of big and they could have definetly done the same with Bond.

Hmm. Too soon. One of the reasons Bond has remained popular is that because there's always such a huge gap between films, every single one these days feels like a major event. I think having the sequel so soon after Casino Royale might hurt the hype, making it just another sequel rather than The New Bond Film.
thelastonelives 7/21/2006 1:19:15 PM
I beleive you summed it up DocV. The gaps between say the Moore/Dalton years, and the Dalton/Brosnan years helped make the films work out better. It seems Bond is going from Suave, to Cheeky, to Brooding, to Flashy, to Amped.
