First up, David Fincher's English-language adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon which he calls an adult thriller to take us back to the kind of film that hasn't been seen its heyday since the 70's.
“It’s as adult as you can possibly make it. This is adult drama. I grew up, as we f-ing all did, watching The Godfather and that, movies that were made for adults. And this is a $100 million R-rated movie. Nobody makes those anymore. And Fincher, he’s not holding back. They’ve given him free rein. He showed me some scenes recently, and my hand was over my mouth, going, Are you f-ing serious?. It’s not that he simply showed me footage that was horribly graphic,” Craig says. “It was stuff that was happening, or had happened. And somehow you don’t see it.”
Then of course, there's Bond 23 to which he says "Sam’s gonna do it, Sam Mendes , and I’m really f-ing really lookin’ forward to the fact that he’s gonna do it” - referring there to the film's director who previously directed him in Road to Perdition
Meanwhile Baz Bamigboye's new column for the Daily Mail states that Javier Bardem Ralph Fiennes and Naomie Harris are set to joion Bond as previously rumored.
Harris will NOT be playing a Bond girl, rather she's in the final stages of talks to take on the role of - Miss Moneypenny.
M's (Judi Dench) flirtatious secretary has been around since the very first Bond film "Dr. No" in 1962 and was greatly played by Lois Maxwell through until 1985's "A View to a Kill". Caroline Bliss delivered a very dull interpretation of her for Timothy Dalton's two outings, Pamela Salem played her in the unofficial "Never Say Never Again", while Samantha Bond played her in Pierce Brosnan's films
The character has been absent from both of Craig's two outings as 007. Her return was inevitable and much welcomed, Harris is an unexpected but interesting choice. This means that she's probably signed for multiple films.
Bardem's role was previously said to be that of the villain, Fiennes part is said to be “one of extreme complexity and only an actor of great ability and dexterity can take it on.” It has also been said the “revolutionary” pic will feature an ensemble cast as “the first of a new generation of Bond films, and the ideas Mendes has push the film into darker territory where the characters are modern, mature and challenging.”
The film will begin shooting near the end of the year for its November 9th, 2012 bow
