Bond news: Haggis talks about why he doesn't direct BOND 22.

I'll try and update the various forums when I come across news relating to them...

Here's the latest news on BOND 22 which was published today:

Mania: Haggis talks about why he turned down the job and why Forster got the directing gig for Bond 22 (http://www.mania.com/55304.html)

Oh, the charmed life of Paul Haggis! To be able to have the option of directing a Bond movie or just writing it!

I have to give my fellow Ontarian props. Nicely done, eh?

What a coincidence, I was just thinking about Haggis' CR script and the "...perfectly formed ass..." line, when the girl in my office with THE most perfectly formed ass just walked past. Anyway.......

I can never get a handle on how much of a Bond fan Haggis is, or isn't. Did he take these gigs out of love for the character, or was there another reason ?

You just reminded me of the girl I met in Domincan Republic. ;)

And now I can't concentrate on all things Bond related......

Every time I read the title of this thread, I think, "Because his name sounds like a horrible Scottish so-called delicacy involving intestines?"
