There are conflicting messages across the board about the schedule for Daniel Craig's third James Bond film. Initially, it appeared as though Eon Productions would hold off committing to a shooting date until the fate of MGM studios is resolved. This was followed by rumors that the new film might go into pre-production this summer. Now that scenario becomes doubtful as Daniel Craig is said to be close to signing on to replace Robert Downey Jr. as the star of
Cowboys and Aliens, a sci-fi film set in the old West in which cowboys and Indians join forces to combat invading aliens(!) If that seems implausible, we still can't figure out how a British leading man fits into the mix unless the "aliens" refer to immigrants. Nevertheless, it seems unlikely that Craig, who will next film
Dream House in Canada, would be able to accommodate Bond any time soon with two major films on his schedule. This might mean we won't see the next 007 flick until 2012. For more
