Peter Morgan to Help Write Next James Bond Film

By • June 15, 2009 • 4 Comments

The acclaimed Frost/Nixon writer Peter Morgan has just been announced to be writing the 23rd installment of the Bond franchise which will once again have Daniel Craig playing 007. MGM sent us the press release with more details on the announcement. Morgan is a great writer and is collaboration with Purvis and Wade, will definitely keep the continuity going with the new Bond films. I just hope that this film doesn’t become droll like Solace did. I didn’t hate Solace but it was not nearly as good as Royale. I think the film must have a substantial villain.

Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli of EON Productions Ltd. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures have today announced that Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon, The Queen), Neal Purvis and Robert Wade (Quantum of Solace, Casino Royale) will be the screenwriters of the 23rd James Bond adventure.

Daniel Craig will reprise his role as Ian Fleming’s James Bond 007 in the film, which will be a MGM release of an EON production. Bond 23 is the latest installment in the longest-running franchise in motion picture history and will be produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. A date for the start of production is yet to be confirmed.

“Peter, Neal and Robert are extraordinarily talented and we’re looking forward to working with the three of them,” commented Wilson and Broccoli.

Peter Morgan is the award-winning writer of such films as The Last King of Scotland, The Queen and Frost/Nixon, which was based on his play. He has also scripted the upcoming The Special Relationship for HBO and Hereafter for DreamWorks. He will turn his attention to Bond 23 on completion of these duties.

Since 1991, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade have collaborated on a diverse range of projects including The Italian Job, Johnny English and the past four Bond films. They recently adapted John Le Carre’s The Mission Song and are also working on the upcoming sequel The Brazilian Job.

    At this point – why don't they bring back some of the classic villains. It would be great to see a new odd job or jaws. They basically rebooted the series – so why not?
