When I decided to divide film news and articles from actual discussion of the films I was going to segment the news into a subcategory but then I saw there was 95% discussion of Bond articles and rumors and it was easier to separate actual film discussion of which there is very little.
But there's always more "News", no matter how pie in the sky, sketchy or seemingly . Case in point:
From Moviehole: Still Bonding Part II
6/26/06
I heard from a comrade at Sony, that Kevin McClory might be – but admittedly, when hasn’t he been? – interested in doing a second remake of “Thunderball”. You’ll remember that McClory has the remake rights to that film, and that film only, and has already redone it once – as 1982’s “Never say Never Again”. What’s amusing is that my Sony contact - I can tell you that he’s an executive producer on something out soon - tells me that all the folks that were ‘runners up’ for “Casino Royale” – a.k.a ‘the official Bond’ film – are being considered for the role of James Bond in the new “Thunderball”. They include everyone from to Dougray Scott to Joel Edgerton and …… Pierce Brosnan. Yep, apparently there’s some serious talk that the opposing crowd might – like they did with Sean Connery – be trying to sway Brosnan into doing another Bond movie. That would be a real kick in the teeth for EON, wouldn’t it?

Michael wrote me with some interesting news regarding BOND and Pierce Brosnan:
Hey Guys,
Greetings from Northern Lincolnshire.
Something interest this morning on Carl & Gloria (BBC). They mentioned that they've been trying to get a peekaboo onto the sets of "Casino Royale" - and said they'll probably have more luck getting in on the rival Bond film that they're going to make. He then proceeded to tell her that Kevin McClory is trying to make "Thunderball" for a third time - it is the only film he owns, apparently - and that the word is, Pierce Brosnan is going to be in it! That would be a smack in the mouth for "Casino Royale", I'd think?
Michael.
Thanks Michael for the heads up.
