Director Martin Campbell, who was recently announced as the director of the new Bond film CASINO ROYALE, recently spoke to The New York Daily News about his plans for the upcoming film. He mentioned, first of all, that this film will be a "grittier, tougher and more realistic Bond movie." So, don't expect to see any invisible cars or ice boarding in arctic weather. As for who will be playing Bond, Campbell does offer some insight, mentioning "in the new film, Bond is essentially starting out in his career, and has just recently become part of the double-0 section," adding "the idea is to put a bit of the dash back in Bond. By the end of the movie, the character will have been forged into the wiser, harder Bond we know." Campbell is currently filming the sequel THE LEGEND OF ZORRO with Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta Jones.
All of these going back to the begining movies (batman?). This actually sounds really awesome because the Bond movies have become so cheesy.
