Oscar winning writer/Director Paul Haggis (Flags of Our Fathers, Million Dollar Baby, Valley of Elah) penned the Casino Royale screenplay and has been working on the next James Bond adventure to be Directed by Marc Foster (Monsters Ball, Finding Neverland)
Recently attending press conferences for his latest effort The Valley of Elah, Haggis also shared a few thoughts about writing the next installment of the lucrative franchise, "Bond is just pure imagination; you just get to have fun. It's escapism and it's fun, but I try to ground him as a human being."
Haggis also shared a little of his perspective on the 007 character-
"My Bond is an actual assassin; when he kills someone, he kills them with a knife, they're bloody and he pays a price. He denies that he pays a price, but he does. When he sees a woman who witnesses something horrific, and he sees her taking a shower, he doesn't just go in there and f*ck her, like the old Bond would have done. He sits there with her, and she says, 'I can't get this blood from my fingernails.' So he helps her get the blood from her fingernails; that's what he does, that's my Bond. So it's a different guy; it's a guy who's much more like these guys, these heroes (in 'Valley of Elah')."
As far as the plot goes he had only this to say, "It picks up 2 minutes after the last one, and it's going to be fun."
Fun indeed, if this next one continues at the high standard of Casino Royale the reinvigorated secret agent saga may never Live and let die.
