Now on the CBn main page...
Check out this rather depressing article from SuperheroHype! QUOTE Bond 22 Targeting Nov. 7, 2008
Source: The Hollywood Reporter September 1, 2006 Columbia Pictures has moved James Bond 22 -- the yet-to-be-named film that will be produced after November's Casino Royale -- to Nov. 7, 2008, rather than the original date of May 2, 2008, where it was in competition with Jon Favreau's Iron Man adaptation. Sony Pictures Entertainment vice chairman Jeff Blake told The Hollywood Reporter that the studio, along with partners MGM and British production company EON Prods., are in talks to bring on a new director after Roger Michell (Notting Hill) bowed out of the project. The new date also gives the filmmakers the standard two years to complete the next film -- the usual time between Bond movies. "Eighteen months was a very short window," Blake said. "We're going to stay the course." Daniel Craig will star as 007 in the 22nd Bond film as well. |

I fear this will descend into yet more "completely accurate box office impact analysis" / "they are running scared because they have cast a deformed goblin" / "horrendously boring guesswork" very soon.

There goes the summer release. Seems they still don't have the script and a new director in place...

I think they're afraid to clash with other big blockbusters like IRON MAN, and prefer to have a release date in a quite period.

Oh well; shame we have to wait a bit longer, but no tragedy I suppose.

I fear the same, Jim. ... and here I start: My take is, the early summer date was born out of enthusiasm for "CR" and Craig´s Bond. So, SONY wanted to get the second one as early as possible. With Michell on board it seemed to be possible to rush it into the summer of 2008. With Michell gone, it became difficult to find a good director who was free and could go in directly. So, they delayed it. And I´m fine with it. Maybe my hopes are coming true and Campbell will continue - having now a bit more time to cool off and relax. |

Think you're right SecretAgentFan, I'm not too worried about this anyway. 2008's a while away and if it comes a few months later, thats alright. I prefer the later releases anyway, it feels more like Bond that way, too me. |

I assume they announced the May date when THEY assumed they had Michell in the bag and were ready to start pre-production. But now they're just giving themselves extra time to find a director, I think we'd all prefer them to take the time to make a quality product rather than crank it out ASAP. Maybe there IS a certain director they're after who was not previously available but with the new date is now able to do it? Oh and this obviously means Bond 22 will gross $137.9 million in the US, if the wind blows the right way on the Tuesday before. |

I don't care, it just means 2008 as a whole is the year of Bond, instead of just May

I see this is coming from the Hollywood Reporter, but is this actually confirmed?

It sounds like quite a reliable piece of information which seems a shame. I imagine that confirmation would come in the form of another press release from EON/Sony. Will be interesting to see what reasons they give officially - doubt they'd admit they're running scared of another movie.

I can't imagine they're scared of "Iron Man"; it will probably be another crappy comic book adaptation that bombs horribly. They probably don't have a director and a finished script and thought this was a better excuse.

Maybe they are less than enthused with the finished product in Casino Royale and are having to rethink their strategy. That seems the most logical explanation.
