I think it’s fair to say next to no one is looking forward to the new Bond movie with any form of anticipation, perhaps until now. From Coming Soon

Oscar-nominated writer Paul Haggis (Million Dollar Baby, Crash) has been tapped to do a rewrite of Casino Royale, Sony and MGM’s 21st installment of the James Bond franchise, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson have brought back Martin Campbell (GoldenEye, The Legend of Zorro) to direct his second 007 film. Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who wrote Bond films The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day, penned the previous draft.

Now this could be exciting news, but if you consider the control that the Broccoli’s have over the franchise and all to readily use, it may not mean that much. What do you think? Higher hopes?
