Alleged details of new ‘Bond’ film revealed

Popular spy may be travelling to Croatia in next instalment of British series

With Daniel Craig's return as James Bond having been confirmed, fresh rumours about what to expect from the next instalment in the British film series have been rife of late.

According to The Mirror, Bond will be journeying to Croatia for a film based on the 2001 novel Never Dream of Dying by Raymond Benson, the author of Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day. A source said, “Bond scriptwriters feel it could be the perfect follow-up to Spectre. They are hoping to film in Croatia next year.”



Other exotic locales the film is expected to traverse include Japan and the south of France, the alleged setting of the novel's opening scene. The film's working title is Shatterhand and will see 007 up against a blind villain.

Never Dream of Dying sees Bond start a relationship with Tylyn Mignonne, a film star whose husband is connected to The Union, a crime organisation within the 007 novel series. Despite no official confirmation, Christoph Waltz and Dave Bautista are both expected to return as villains while Naomie Harris (Miss Moneypenny), Ben Whishaw (Q) and Rory Kinnear are all set to return.



In the running to replace Sam Mendes as director after Skyfall and Spectre are Yann Demange ('71), David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water) and Arrival's Denis Villenueve whose Blade Runner sequel arrives this October.

Apparently, producer Barbara Broccoli is "determined" to bring back Adele to record another Bond theme following her Oscar-winning lead track for Skyfall.

Bond 25 is scheduled to release sometime during November 2019.
