‘Bond 25' Now Has Writers In Neal Purvis And Robert Wade, A New James Bond Actor A Possibility With Daniel Craig Undecided

The New James Bond movie, which doesn't have a title yet but is using "Bond 25," now has writers to work on the script for the movie. But with Daniel Craig still undecided to return, it may be time for a new actor to play the iconic British agent.

According to a report from The Telegraph, Daily Mail reporter Baz Bamigboye tweeted that screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade has been hired for the new movie. The two writers have already worked on the scripts of all Bond movies since 1999.

The report adds that the writers hinted in a previous interview that the new movie "would have to be" radically different from "Spectre." Wade said they "closed off a certain way of doing" the movie in "Spectre."

Purvis also revealed that writing "Spectre" was a difficult process for them, saying that the movie was "already in pre-production" and they wanted to see the script all the time. He also said there were also times when people couldn't decide on something until they see it written.

The report said that it seems that the studio has learned its lesson in hiring the screenwriters early on. Their only problem now is the actor who will play Bond, as Daniel Craig is still undecided if he will return to play the character he has been playing for 11 years.

Since Craig has been non-committal about returning to play James Bond, Stephen Silver of Screen Rant said that it might be time for a new actor to play the character. Though, it will be hard considering that Craig's portrayal of Bond has been successful, as all four films are worldwide hits.

Sliver also said that "Casino Royale" and "Skyfall" also earned the respect of the critics. As for who can play the iconic British agent, there appear to be several actors being linked to the role, including Idris Elba, Michael Fassbender, Damian Lewis, Jamie Bell, or Tom Hiddleston.

Nevertheless, the studio already took a step forward with the hiring of screenwriters. Check out the top ten James Bond moments in the video below.
