Don’t fret my friends, my absence was merely temporary and now, I am back to litter your mind with news of the next couple of Bond movies. According to Rotten Tomatoes, Daniel Craig recently stated in an interview with newspaper The Daily Express that the producers of the films want “more gags”, especially after the gunmetal shades of emotion displayed in Casino Royale. “The next one’s going to be a lot funnier. Octopussy and Pussy Galore-style gags. They’re all great names — but that’s the thing, the Bond jokes will be flipped on their heads.” he said, continuing to express that a more human, less macho version of Bond is what he wants to personally achieve with the character, “Bond is supposedly the most male moment [in film] but to me he’s never been macho. That Bond is something that Sean Connery created in Dr. No, there’s no point in trying to compete with every Bond that came before. You manage to make it your own.” Codename Bond 22 (the next film) is due to begin shooting at the end of this year and shall hit our screens sometime in 2008, rumours also slate Bond 23 for a 2010 release.
