Writers Purvis and Wade hint at short story elements for Bond 22

MI6 reported in March that 007 regulars Neal Purvis and Robert Wade were continuing their run of the previous three films to pen the screenplay for James Bond 22. That work has now been completed and the draft screenplay handed to producers.

The first Bond 22 Pre-Production Diary on MI6 stated that Purvis and Wade were reportedly working out a script based on Ian Fleming's short stories The Hildebrand Rarity, The Property Of A Lady, Risico and 007 In New York.

The duo have now hinted that the short stories did have previously untouched details which could make it in to the Bond 22 script.

When asked by HMSS.com whether there was any Fleming material left untapped,they said "there's a few morsels but you'd have to say the carcass has been pretty stripped. There are still a few details from the short stories that it would be nice to use."

When asked specifically, the duo ruled out "Risico" and "Property of a Lady" from the short stories up for grabs. These have both been previously used in "For Your Eyes Only" and "Octopussy" respectively.

So does this mean 007 will visit New York again? Stay tuned to MI6 for all the latest Bond 22 news.
