Skyfall director Sam Mendes has recently been back in talks with the Bond producers for the next 007 film. But after three interviews, he reveals that he is still considering it. He told the BBC... "Well, I'm in discussions about it, but I've said to everyone involved that I'd like to open Charlie and the Chocolate Factory first before making any kind of final decisions. They've been very understanding about that. Frankly, I've had no time to talk about it let alone think about it because this has been a full time job for the last six months. It'll be nice to have some spare time again to think about things other than chocolate, children and Willy Wonka." In another interview with the Daily Telegraph, he told them... "I’ve said I’ll discuss the possibility of doing the next one. There are discussions ongoing but no decision will be made until after I’ve opened the show." And finally, to HeyUGuys... "In answer to the question you’re going to ask, I don’t know yet. I’m in discussion over the ‘B’ word and I won’t make any decision until this is open. It’s taken a long time to get this open and this has been my focus." In other news, Penelope Cruz has officially announced that has not been approached by the producers and doesn't wish to take part in Bond 24. Plus, Ben Whishaw turns down an opportunity to fulfillthe role of 'Doctor Who' in the series of the same name for fear of missing out on playing 'Q' in the next film.

With just one month to go before the attraction opens its doors, the countdown to the launch of BOND WORLD 007 has started. Work is in full swing and the visuals and acoustics have made strides forward too. The final preparations for the June 29 Grand Public Opening with George Lazenby are well underway. The experience on the trip to Gimmelwald – Mürren – Birg and Piz Gloria starts at the new look valley station. The acoustics in the cable cars from Stechelberg to the summit are designed to attune passengers to their Alpine surroundings and set the mood for a visit to BOND WORLD 007. The entire Schilthorn Cableway team is working hard on the finishing touches of BOND WORLD 007 and particularly on the Grand Public Opening of 29 June 2013. Recent reports from the Daily Mail claims that Penelope Cruz is close to signing up as a Bond girl for BOND 24. ‘The producers have tried to get Penelope before, but she has never been available because of other commitments. The discussions have been going on for some time and they are working out the contract details now' a 'source' told the paper. As well as this, Sam Mendes is rumoured to be back on track for Bond 24 according to Showbiz411 blog. "Sam Mendes is the definite director of Bond 24 and most likely Bond 25. He’s in, after exhaustive negotiations. Mendes obviously got what he wanted and will be a rich, rich man when his time with James Bond is over. The director of “American Beauty” did want to keep his theater career alive and will, even with the long planning for the Bond movies. But “Skyfall” was too much of a hit to let him go, and really no one else compared to him. Mendes and Daniel Craig will see “Bond” through to the end." If Mendes returns, it will be the first time since John Glen's "Licence To Kill" that a Bond film has been shot back-to-back with the same director. |
