Haggis set for Bond

From Wednesday's Globe and Mail

June 20, 2007 at 4:00 AM EDT

Toronto — Haggis. Paul Haggis.

The Canadian screenwriter-director is set to take on his latest project - the screenplay for the next James Bond movie, Variety reported yesterday.

The multiple Oscar winner will tackle the 22nd edition of the blockbuster franchise, working from a draft by Neil Purvis and Robert Wade. Haggis also put in writing work on the most recent Bond film, Casino Royale, which was widely credited with refreshing the film series.

Variety also reported that Marc Forster will direct the new Bond film. Best known for his work behind the camera on Stranger Than Fiction and Finding Neverland, he is currently working on the big-screen adaptation of Khaled Hosseini's novel The Kite Runner.

The new Bond movie will begin filming in December.

Correct me if I'm wrong: ALL writers collaborated on "Casino Royal" already so the artcile is bit off?

Anyway, this is good news. Still, every time I read the name Paul Haggis I get melodramatic. Thanks again CBS for cancelling the brilliant "Family Law" - the fact the man behind the show has won two (?) Oscars afterwards should speak volumes what a wise decision that was...

Paul Haggis earned my distaste the day he took potshots at Brokeback after Crash (a film I liked but did not think was that good) was called on undeservingly winning too many awards because it was the safer movie for Hollywood liberals who just didn't feel comfortable being "that liberal." But he has done good work on the past.

I preferred some of the other names who were linked to this project, not him.

    • Andre has the worst fashion of the males which is off putting for someone as fine as he is. His jackets and sweaters look dated and no vintage does not work for him
    • I don’t recall MSW having a toy line in the late 80’s or early 90’s like all those Saturday morning cartoons did LOL but thought this was cute when I saw it in a vintage toy store yesterday:

    • Copying and pasting pasting this here as to not to derail the KL thread lol Wow I forgot CBS actually did try multiple attempts to come up with a soapy replacement for Knots on Thursday nights in the 10/9 slots for the 93-94 season.   Angel Falls had promise but CBS didn’t give it a fair chance. Latham’s Second Chances got even worse ratings than Angel Falls and wasn’t given a second chance when the Northridge quake destroyed the show’s sets. One West Waikiki looked gorgeous but was a blink you missed it affair. Finally we got Hotel Malibu, a quasi follow-up to Second Chances that stayed as the summer replacement series it was. CBS switched gears and had Chicago Hope air in the slot…against ER. It made the Top 30 but obviously underperformed below expectations. CBS gave up, and gave us 48 Hours for years there. It wasn’t until the 2002-03 season when CBS finally produced a Top 20 show for that spot with Without A Trace against an aging ER.
    • Of course I join in on wishing that Peacock & Corday & Sony would all together come to the conclusion that NOW would be a fine time to put some of these gems in the archive on full display!!! But, at the same time I'd like to give kudos to the fact that behind the scenes they've been doing the great work of preservation by taking tapes, etc. & converting them to modern digital formats. Besides the important fact of preserving them it means they are ready to go!

    • Bill and Hayley’s living room set should be redressed as their bedroom. We’ve not seen their gorgeous circular entry way set since the first week? Why not utilise that more and build them a living room off those double doors? The hotel room also doesn’t have a bed? Does only Dani have a bedroom?
