So far only three things are known
from the upcoming 24th installment in the James Bond franchise,
which are that actor Daniel Craig will be reprising his role as 007, that
director Sam Mendes will also be returning to his director duties and that
screenwriter John Logan will once again have the task of making a gripping
story.
In a recent interview to IGN, the
writer about what the creative team behind the project is expecting to achieve with
the film and where is the inspiration coming from.
"My goal is to write a great
movie that's appropriate, to build on what we did on Skyfall, but make it its
own unique animal. The themes, ideas and the characters from Skyfall can
obviously continue on, because it is a franchise, and it is an ongoing story.
So I think there's resonance from Skyfall in the new movie."
Logan mentioned his lifelong love
for the franchise, and that the new film will have elements from all the other
Bond films.
"I grew up on the Bond
movies, The first one I saw was Diamonds Are Forever, when I was a kid. I just
loved them to pieces. I love all the elements, from the books — mostly from the
novels; going back to Ian Flemming is where I started with Skyfall — and
there's certainly elements of the movies and the novels that we've brought into
the new movie, as they did into Skyfall."
We recently reported that MGM’s
lawsuit with the Kevin McClory estate was over, which gives the writer the
possibility of introducing the iconic villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld and his
underground criminal syndicate SPECTRE. When asked if Blofeld and SPECTRE could
appear in the new film, Logan replied.
"You know, I think our
villain's appropriate to the story we're telling."
Bond 24 will hit theaters on
October 23, 2015 in the UK and on November 6, 2015 in the US.
