Franchise runners Michael G. Wilson & Barbara Broccoli have officially announced that Daniel Craig will be heading back for at least one more turn as James Bond. The upcoming "Casino Royale", based on the first of Ian Fleming's 007 novels is due to hit cinemas November 17th, and it looks as though Craig won't have long to rest up, because "22" has been tentatively slotted in for release on May 2nd, 2008.-moviehole
At the moment, the film is thought to be an original story from Wilson, and "Notting Hill" Director Roger Michell is currently in negotiations to helm the next outing.

Well, it's about time they return to the shooting schedule of the 60's. It's not one per year, but November 06 to May 08 isn't that far off. Better than four years or more between them. I understood the reason for the delay between License to Kill and Goldeneye, but From The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day and then DAD to Casino Royale was just insane.
According to Variety, helmer Roger Michell (Changing Lanes, Notting Hill) was in talks to direct the next James Bond( following Casino Royale) , but the negotiations have fallen through due to "creative differences."
So, the search for the next "James Bond" director is still on.

According to The Los Angeles Times, Paul Haggis (the Oscar-winning writer-director of Crash and co-writer of Casino Royale) will return to work on the script for the "Royale" follow-up, temporarily titled Bond 22.
Haggis will polish the Bond 22 screenplay by regular Bond writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade (The World Is Not Enough, Die Another Day).

GoldenEye (1995) Tomorrow never Dies (1997) The World is not enough (1999) Die another Day (2002)
Traditionally there's been a 2-year gap between Bond films ever since Thunderball, but There has been exceptions like the 3-year gap between "The man with the golden gun (1974)" to "The Spy Who loved me (1977)"
The only longer transitions have been between changing Bond-actors like the gap between License to Kill and GoldenEye and from DAD to Casino Royale.
"The Flux capacitor. It's what makes time travel possible."
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the next Bond film now has a director.
Marc Forster has signed on to direct the next installment. It would be Forster's first attempt at a big-budget action flick. His previous films include "Stranger Than Fiction," "Finding Neverland" and "Monster's Ball".
He's definitely not your typical Bond director.

People said the same thing about Jonathan Demme when he was making Silence of the Lambs, and look what happened. I think it's bloody fantastic that the producers are going with a less obvious choice. Marc Foster is a brilliant director, Stranger Than Fiction was one of my favourite movies of last year. I think he'll bring something fresh and very interesting to the Bond franchise. He may not be experienced with visual effects and stunts, but he knows drama, and he knows character. I'm really looking forward to seeing what he comes up with.
Some interesting news from Paul Haggis who is returning to write the next Bond film of the series.

As for the storyline, Mr. Haggis wasn't giving anything up including any possible shooting or setting locations, however he would say, "It picks up 2 minutes after the last one, and it's going to be fun."
No idea what the hell it means, but I like the sound of it.
Yeah, I was hoping that our resident Bond expert (George) could shed some light on what the title means and what the original short story was about. edit:
Here is the logo that was displayed at the news conference.

As for the title, after some dictionary.com-ing, I found that quantum means a particular amount of something; a share or portion. And solace obviously means comfort in sorrow; or consolation. So Quantum of Solace basically means "a portion of comfort." As for the short story, I have no idea. I've never read it.
But I do like that title, it has a very old fashioned vibe to it, like Casino Royale.
"Quantum of Solace" is a short story from this collection of five stories:
Love the motorcycle helmet nipple haha. That is so Bond.
The story, however, sounds dreadfully dull, involving Bond at a dinner party of all things.
But I know for a fact that some of these movies have nothing at all to do with the stories by Fleming. I read "The Spy who Loved Me" a long time ago, and virtually the whole thing took place at one motel. I suspect the same thing here. The story will likely reveal very little about the film.
