Three of a Kind He stated that the productions doesn't have the finished article yet and that Bond would be "still too headstrong and [wouldn't] always make the right decisions." Haggis further revealed that James Bond will be "a very human and flawed assassin, a man who has to navigate a morally complex and often cynical world while attempting to hold onto his deep beliefs of what is right and wrong."

Production
In July 2006, as Daniel Craig's debut as James Bond, ''Casino Royale'', entered post-production, EON Productions announced ''Bond 22'' would be based on an original idea by producer Michael G. Wilson. Roger Michell was being negotiated with to direct.[4] The film was confirmed for a May 2 2008 release date, with Craig reprising the lead role.[5] Michell, who previously worked with Daniel Craig on ''Enduring Love'' and ''The Mother'', decided not to direct the film, stating that, "I was very nervous that there was a start date but really no script at all. And I like to be very well prepared as a director."[6] Sony Entertainment vice-chairman Jeff Blake admitted that a production schedule of eighteen months was a very short window. The release date was eventually pushed back to November 7 2008.[7]
Neal Purvis and Robert Wade completed their draft of the script by April 2007.[8] Wade said that the emphasis would be on the unfinished emotional business at the end of ''Casino Royale'': "It has to be dealt with in such a way that his character continues to have an arc. It can't just be he's tough and he's tempered steel and totally impervious. There are things he still has to resolve."[9] The following month, Paul Haggis, who had polished the ''Casino Royale'' script, began his re-write.[10] Haggis turned down directing the film, as he "felt that it takes a big commitment to direct a Bond film... It's a two year commitment basically to do it. If you do that on top of writing, it's almost a three year commitment." Writer & Director Discuss Bond 22 In writing the script, Haggis drew inspiration from Bond creator Ian Fleming, and author John le Carre. 'Casino Royale' Writer Paul Haggis Talks Next 007 Flick: 'My Bond Is Different' In June 2007, Marc Forster was confirmed as the director of ''Bond 22''. Forster, a Bond fan, said that the "new direction that the Bond character has taken [in ''Casino Royale''] offers a director a host of new possibilities."[11] Forster left Haggis to work on the script alone.
Filming
Daniel Craig was present during the 2007 Palio di Siena
Production will be based at Bond's spiritual home of Pinewood Studios in the UK and will use the newly rebuilt 007 Stage along with other soundstages on the lot. Principal photography is scheduled to start in December 2007.[12] Production designer Peter Lamont, who has been a crew member on eighteen Bond films, will not be continuing with ''Bond 22''. Despite commenting on the state of the production earlier in the year, leading many to believe he was continuing his role, Lamont has stated that Dennis Gassner will take over the production designer role.[13]
Forster expressed interest in the Swiss Alps as a location[14] and also scouted Bregenz in Austria in late June 2007 to test shoot a production of Tosca on the lake's floating opera stage.[15] The town council of Siena gave permission for the crew to shoot at the Palio di Siena horse race on August 16 2007. Fourteen cameras were placed around the arena, though helicopters were banned, and the crew were forbidden from showing any violence "involving either people or animals". The shots of the race will be edited into the action sequence, which will be filmed during the main shoot in 2008.[16] Afterward, scouting took place in Craco, the Montecotugno di Senise dam and the road around San Biagio and Maratea, which may stand in for North Africa.[17] From August 23–29, the crew did second-unit shooting at Madrid.[18]
