- Oscar-nominated writer Paul Haggis (Million Dollar Baby, Crash) was recently hired to rewrite Casino Royale, Sony and MGM's 21st installment of the James Bond franchise. The Hollywood Reporter talked to Haggis in Toronto about what the film will be like.
"It's going to be good," Haggis said. "We're trying to reinvent Bond. He's 28: no Q, no gadgets." The movie's script is based on the 1953 Ian Fleming novel.
Martin Campbell (GoldenEye, The Legend of Zorro) will direct his second 007 film. Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who wrote Bond films The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day, wrote the previous draft.
Haggis adapted James Bradley's World War II book Flags of Our Fathers for director Clint Eastwood, currently filming in Iceland. Director Tony Goldwyn is editing Haggis' romantic comedy script The Last Kiss and Haggis is set to direct New Line Cinema's Honeymoon With Harry.
He is also working on Warner Bros. Pictures' military true story Death and Dishonor, based on a Playboy investigative piece about a career officer's search for his soldier son, who went missing on his way home from the front lines of Baghdad. "Hopefully, Clint will star," he says.
