Bond vs. Bourne, Continued
Posted by Nicholas Cote on December 8, 2008
Via Dark Horizons, two bits of spy flick news.
1) Daniel Craig says the next 007 film won’t be a direct sequel like Quantum of Solace was to Casino Royale, but the Quantum organization’s presence may still be felt. More importantly, he’s up for adding Q and Moneypenny. Maybe I was right:
The filmmakers used the gun barrel at the end of the film as a punctuation mark, as if to say “Bond is now Bond.”
And Felix is Felix, and M is M. Bring on the whole gang.
2) Uber-producer Frank Marshall discusses the future of the Bourne saga. Universal basically has the rights to Robert Ludlum’s non-Bourne books, and apparently Marshall and company are considering using The Parsifal Mosaic as the backbone of the next Bourne film. I haven’t read that one, but I’m a big fan of many of Ludlum’s books (it still suprises me how long it took for Hollywood to discover their potential as films). But: I’d rather see them incorporate the Carlos storyline from the Bourne books.
Give Bond his friends, and give Bourne his nemesis!
