There has been what some are calling ‘polite turmoil’ behind the
scenes of the latest James Bond film, resulting in a reshuffle of screenwriters
and a delay to the start of filming. The picture, known for now simply as Bond 24, was being written
solely by Oscar-nominated John Logan, after he was brought in by director Sam
Mendes to pen the last picture, Skyfall.

Interestingly, producers at Eon and Sony had already opted to
delay shooting because of script problems. The script problems were detected
before John Cleese’s stinging criticism in the Radio Times last week about
recent Bond movies.
Cleese, Bond boffin Q in Die Another Day (and Q’s sidekick R in
the earlier The World Is Not Enough) said recent Bond pictures were ‘gritty and
humourless’. He pointed out that big box-office money was coming from Asia,
‘where the audiences go to watch the action sequences, and this made the
producers to hire more seasoned script writers to give the bond movie franchise
some ‘’punch’’.
