Bond 22 pre-titles sequence being filmed this week?

02-Jul-2006 • Quantum Of Solace

The latest James Bond film Casino Royale has not even wrapped shooting yet, let alone had its cinema release (November 17th), but word is already starting to spread about the next adventure: Bond 22.

According to a post on SuperHeroType, filming may have already started on the pre-titles sequence for the next film, which may have a target release date of 2007 or 2008.

I was able to get in contact with some of my friends connected to the production in Pinewood and the rest of the UK. They told me that most of the footage for the Bond 22 opener has been shot. Whether it is used for a 2007 rlease or not, it is very likely the action scenes will be used. They take place straight after Casino Royale's ending. Craig is said to only have shot close ups and the slow paced action while the second unit took a short time to do some more action. This was mainly because Daniel was still needed for the rest of Casino Rouale's shoot and they couldn't risk losing him at all. It is said he'll go back at the end of July to finish his part completely.
It is said to involve a huge army shootout and Jesper Christensen's character Mr. White.
