Bond 23 AND 24 Updates - Plus Blood Stone Opening Title Sequence
With Sony expected to come on board as the distributor to Bond 23 - much as the studio had been for Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace - more news about the arrangement has come to light, including a tidbit about Bond 24.
Writes Commanderbond.net, "Under the deal not only would Sony get the distribution rights to Bond 23, but Bond 24 as well according to the LA Times. Sony will fund half of Bond 23 and 25% of Bond 24. As suspected, the deal also includes theatrical distribution of other MGM films including Dan Bradley’s remake of the 80′s cult classic Red Dawn which has been completed. Additionally, MGM’s huge library of 4,000 films will be taken over by Sony for home distribution which should include the entire James Bond franchise. Currently those rights are held by 20th Century Fox." Bond 23 will be released on November 9, 2012.
Additionally, the director of photography of Bond 23 is expected to be Roger Deakins, the nine-time Academy Award nominee (including for 2010's True Grit). His other credits include Fargo, No Country For Old Men and Revolutionary Road, the latter directed by Bond 23's Sam Mendes.
