The 24th James Bond adventure, Spectre, arrives on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK next week. Its box office take didn’t quite match that of the 23rd film, Skyfall, and nor did the reviews in truth. But still, you’d be hard pushed to call it anywhere close to a failure, and the film has no shortage of fans.

Speculation is currently rife as to whether Daniel Craig will return for a fifth outing as James Bond, especially given his commitment to a new TV series, Purity. You can read more on that here.

However, as far as EON – the company behind the Bond films – is concerned, it’s business as usual. Gregg Wilson, son of producer Michael G Wilson, and himself associate producer for 007, was chatting to Filmweb in Norway, and has given some clues as to the direction of James Bond 25.

“We’ve just begun to doodle with ideas for the next movie”, he said (the rough translation coming from BMD). “Each script process begins when we ask ourselves the question ‘what is the world afraid of now?’ In the case of Spectre the theme was global monitoring and utilisation of information. So now we are trying to find out what will be relevant in the coming years”.

Cyber warfare and bankers, would be our guess. They don’t seem to be going away.

Wilson added that “we always want to do something new with the Bond character and see him in situations we have not seen him in the past”, noting that “we must give the audience something new every time”.

“Often it helps to go back to Ian Fleming’s novels for inspiration, whether you’re talking about grades or mood”.

We don’t expect too many details of the next Bond adventure just yet, not least because there’s no sign of a director on board yet (Sam Mendes confirmed that Spectre was his last Bond film).

As we hear more, though, we’ll keep you up to date.
