Madam Medusa

you do wonder why the intercon festival city of all places has been picked to be featured in the book though when there really are some other quite fabulous hotels here...guess they paid shed loads for the privilege...

Blue Cat

Jeffrey Deaver stays there when he visits as they are one of the sponsors of Emirates Festival of Literature, I imagine he got an upgrade

The Dean

.... but what's the movie situation? Daniel Craig still hasn't signed for any more (or that was my last information a while back), and Sebastian Faulks is wavering over Devil May Care.............

Autonomy

Bond 23 is 100% confirmed. Sam Mendes to direct Daniel Craig. It will be shot in 3D (which I am a general fan of, but not sure about Bond in 3D)....

Sam Mendes with the new dark bond - I think this could be a cracker...

Spugsy

they are damn good the new bond films.

The Dean

Thanks Auto, but which story is the movie going to be?

Casino Royale was the best for decades. It had that hard edge (a bit like the Bourne films). Genuine thriller, not merely a poser's paradise.

Blue Cat

Jeffrey Deavers new novel

Autonomy

I seriously doubt it. They've not announced the title of the movie yet, but they have announced the book title.

There are 3 script writers, 2 of them have done the recent Bonds, the other did Gladiator etc.

Blue Cat

haven't they, they were on about it on the radio the other day I assumed it was his last novel?

The Dean

But that would mean Devil May Care isn't going to be a movie?
