EXCLUSIVE: MGM is announcing that "BOND 23" is set to go into production in late 2011. Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli of EON Productions, together with Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum, the Co-Chairmen and Chief Executive Officers of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc., today announced that the 23rd James Bond film will have a worldwide release on November 9, 2012. Daniel Craig will be returning as the legendary British secret agent, with Sam Mendes directing a screenplay written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan.

Sean Connery has always been the definitive Bond to me. Action Hero and charisma.
Roger Moore will always be Simon Templar, The Saint to me--but before him, I like Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.

Sean is Bond...but, Daniel Craig is a close 2nd...I like Craig's performance as Bond, because he uses strength and wits, instead of fantastic gadgets....

I concur, ironically, with Doc!

The title stinks!

[Opera Ghost]

The title stinks!

Seriously??

uh...it's a working title

[Dr.Teufel Geist]

the title does stink.. 

[Opera Ghost]

the title does stink.. 

They always begin with titles for Bond films as such. until they release the actual title

Timothy Dalton is easily my favourite Bond. He played the character closest to the one in the book - grim, lethal and  businesslike. This was deliberate on his part. He first read the books before playing the part and set out to be the character as originally envisaged by Ian Fleming.

Dalton could have been a good Bond, but the stories were weak.  Lazenby was a so so Bond, but the story was great and the ski segments were state of the art back then. Plus Diana rigg is a goddess.

[Dr.Teufel Geist]

I was fixin to ask who the heck voted for Dalton....he was worse than George 

[Hepcat]

Nonsense. Timothy Dalton acted the part.

We'll that put him ahead of the filmakers, who tended to ignore the books when writing the screenplays.

Opera Ghost, I've seen several of the George Sanders Saint movies and they are quite fun! As for Bond, I have a pretty nice 007 collection of toys and film items and the collection starts and ends with the Sean C. years......Bud

[Dr.Teufel Geist]

speaking of Dalton...whatever happened to him, I never hear anything about him anymore.

Daniel Craig acts the part...if ya want non gadget Bond.

Dalton had a major guest role in Dr Who last year as the Time Lord Rassilon and he was quite good. I also like Daniel Craig alot as Bond, I think he is very close to how Ian Fleming wrote Bond in the books. I was never a big fan of Roger Moore, but I think that is more the fault of the film's storylines themselves than Moore's portrayal. I did like Dalton but as was mentioned, his two films were very weak-I would have liked to see him continue in the role. I also liked Brosnan as well, but Sean Connery is by far my favorite Bond.
