A THINKING, TAILORED, BOLDER SPY
By Stefan Rogall on 2012-10-31Catching Bullets – Memoirs of a Bond Fan author Mark O’Connell looks at the 23rd James Bond 007 film, Skyfall.
SPOILER WARNING!
“We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield”

Help us celebrate Pierce Brosnan this November.
By Tony DeCaro on 2012-10-30Ten years ago next November, marked the release of Die Another Day, and as it turns out, it was the last film of Pierce Brosnan. We here at CommanderBond.net wish to celebrate the man who gave us four James Bond films and brought many new fans into the fold. I’m putting together a retrospective of the man, and his films debuting on this page sometime next month. As a companion piece I would love to put together thoughts from you.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
Two paragraphs (to me, a paragraph is about four sentences long) explaining what you like about Brosnan, what you like about his films, what he means to you, and/or a fond memory of his time as Bond. You can write about all of those, or you can write about one of those. It’s up to you.
Now to get your submissions to me, there are two methods. You can e-mail me at [email protected]
Or if you’re a member of our forums you can go to this thread.
Deadline for submissions will be November 9th. However if I feel I don’t have enough, I will extend it.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Reports: John Logan scripting original two-part story for Bond 24 and 25
By Matt Weston on 2012-10-28
John Logan
Skyfall is just days into what looks set to be a record-breaking run in theatres, so it’s not surprising that the wheels appear to already be in motion for James Bond’s next adventure. Or should that be adventures?
According to reports in Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, Skyfall screenwriter John Logan has signed on to pen the 24th and 25th films in the James Bond series.
The Hollywood Reporter claims the scripts will feature an original two-part story arc, not based on the Ian Fleming novels. Variety, meanwhile, speculates that the Logan deal could see Bond 24 and Bond 25 filmed back-to-back.
The reports claim Logan pitched the story to 007 producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli and that he has already begun solo work on the screenplays.
The news follows an earlier report in the Guardian claiming that Logan had signed on for Bond 24. That report also revealed Neal Purvis and Robert Wade would be bowing out from the series, having written or co-written every Bond film since 1999’s The World Is Not Enough.
MGM declined to comment on the latest reports.
Head on over to this thread of the CommanderBond.net forums to discuss this news.
