Sam Mendes Got "Physically Ill" at the Thought of Directing More James Bond Movies

Nick Romano — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 20:00:52 +0000

Many of us loved the latest James Bond movie, 'Skyfall,' which reflects in the film's $1 billion worldwide box office, but the film is something its director, Sam Mendes, does not want to repeat. We all know (or rather should know by now) that he doesn't have plans to return for the next 007 movie -- in fact, the very thought of doing so makes him "physically ill."

'Bond 24′ Moving Forward, Eyes a 2015 Release Date

Jacob Hall — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:20:42 +0000

It's the question on the lips of every fan now that 'Skyfall' is on their DVD shelf: when is the next James Bond movie coming out? After all, 'Skyfall' made over $1 billion at the box office, earned universal acclaim from critics and audiences and even took home a few Oscars. Surely they must be fast tracking 'Bond 24!' Although there's no date locked in yet, it looks like they have plans on 'Bond 24' hitting theaters in November, 2015.

2013 Oscars: The James Bond Actors Will Not Appear Together

Jacob Hall — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:35:49 +0000

It was the kind of news that turned the heads of James Bond fans everywhere, even those who would normally never give the Academy Awards a second glance: all six actors who have played Agent 007 would appear on the 2013 Oscars stage together to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic spy franchise. It would be a legendary sight...so it's too bad that it's not happening.

Bond 24: 'Skyfall' Director Sam Mendes Ready to Return

Eric Walkuski — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 14:46:40 +0000

With 'Skyfall' firmly enshrined as the biggest James Bond film of all time (not to mention one of the biggest movies of all time, period), it only makes sense for the producers of the venerable series to keep the good times rolling and start talking Bond 24. They locked up screenwriter John Logan almost immediately after 'Skyfall' first dropped, and now it looks like director Sam Mendes is close to returning as well.

Jump after the break to find out just how close.

'The Girl Who Played With Fire' Dropping Daniel Craig From the Story?

Nick Romano — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 14:47:43 +0000

It's been a decent while since 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' premiered in theaters, launching Rooney Mara into stardom and giving Daniel Craig yet another beefy role to add to his resume. Despite the less-than-expected box office numbers, Sony was and still is planning the next sequel, 'The Girl Who Played With Fire.' So what's taking so long? Well, apparently they're weighing whether or not to cut Craig's character out of the script.

2013 Oscars: All Six James Bonds to Appear Together For the First Time?

'Skyfall' Without Daniel Craig? Current James Bond Says "I've Been Trying to Get Out of This"

Nick Romano — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 15:30:12 +0000

'Skyfall' is finally making its US debut this week, but it's already gone above and beyond at the UK box office. Since its October premiere overseas, the latest James Bond flick has surpassed the country's sales of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2' and has blown away the last two Daniel Craig-led Bond films, and the hopes are even higher for its release here.

But what if our current 007 actor wasn't around to bask in the success of 'Skyfall' (or 'Casino Royale' and 'Quantum of Solace,' for that matter)? Despite the film's successes, talk has recently shifted to Craig as he revealed that he -- how can we put this delicately? -- kind of hates portraying James Bond.

'Skyfall's' Iconic Aston Martin and the Best James Bond Cars of All-Time

Danny Gallagher — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 20:00:48 +0000

With the 23rd James Bond movie 'Skyfall' premiering in the US this Friday, we've come to realize that Mr. 007 has given guys a lot to be jealous of during his 50 years on the big screen. Not only does he get paid to travel the world in first-class lux

James Bond's Two-Part Movie Plot Is a No Go, Says Daniel Craig

Eric Walkuski — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 16:18:48 +0000

Earlier this week we learned some potentially huge James Bond news. A report circulated that 'Skyfall' screenwriter John Logan (who we know is returning for the series' next installment) had secretly plotted a two-part plot line for 'Bond 24' and '25,' which would be a rather major turn of events. Today, however, we're learning from 007 himself not to believe the hype.

George Clooney, Daniel Craig, Bill Murray and More Are 'The Monuments Men'

Eric Walkuski — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:30:23 +0000

George Clooney has never had any trouble assembling an all-star cast for his productions. Indeed, why would he? But his latest is looking like it boasts the most impressive line-up to date. Don't believe it? How does a movie featuring Clooney, Daniel Craig, Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray, John Goodman and recent Best Actor Oscar winner Jean Dujardin sound?

'Skyfall' Writer Planning to Link 'Bond 24′ and 'Bond 25′ Plot Lines

Nick Romano — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 19:16:12 +0000

While the latest James Bond flick 'Skyfall' inches closer to its November 9 release date, we've only just received word that one of its co-writers John Logan will be returning to pen the script for the next movie in the franchise. Though the storyline for 'Bond 24,' planned for a late 2014 release, is under wraps, we've just learned another piece of information that reportedly links the next two James Bond movies together.

'Bond 24′ Coming in 2014, Will Bring Back 'Skyfall' Writer

Eric Walkuski — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 14:50:54 +0000

Some of us are lucky enough to have seen 'Skyfall' already; indeed, it can safely be said that it earns the hype it's receiving as one of the best Bond movies ever. Just thrilling entertainment from start to finish. Part of its power stems from a complex, incisive, character-driven screenplay, and it looks like the Bond producers are well aware of that, as they've just hired one of the writers back for the next installment.

'Skyfall' Review

Mike Sampson — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 03:34:12 +0000

Towards the end of ‘Skyfall‘ one character remarks to James Bond, “When all else fails, sometimes the old way works best.” After an unfortunate stumble with the clunky ‘Quantum of Solace,’ 007 is back with a thrilling adventure that manages to be both classic Bond and a top notch modern action film.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 16:21:16 +0000

While 'SNL' has been having a pretty stellar season already in just two episodes, with more to come from the likes of Christina Applegate and Bruno Mars, it certainly remains to be seen how the steely blue eyes and stoic demeanor of everyone's favorite modern James Bond Daniel Craig will lend themselves to sketch comedy. Will his icy on-screen persona break out into comedy, or be the target of the cast? Check out the first promos of Daniel Craig promoting this week's 'SNL' for your answer!
