Bond is coming back home. The makers of the long-running James Bond movie franchise will shoot their next 007 adventure at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, England, the site where many earlier Bond films were shot. For the franchise’s last effort, “Casino Royale”, studio filming took place in Prague’s Barrandov Studios. The owners of 007, Eon Productions, gave notice to Barrandov explaining why they would not be coming back and of course it had to do with monetary issues. It turns out that the Czech government’s cash incentives to attract international film productions to film in the country have become less attractive due to competing offers from other neighboring countries.

Filming on the 22^nd James Bond movie (which still does not have a title) will begin this December for a November 2008 release. Daniel Craig will reprise the role of the secret agent for the second time. If recent comments made by the actor are to be taken at face value, the producers want to inject more humor into the picture. Craig cites the Roger Moore films as examples of what kind of slapstick fans should expect to see.
