Paul Haggis on rewriting Bond 22 script

Writer director Paul Haggis is currently hard at work on the screenplay for the 22nd James Bond movie, and the CASINO ROYALE co-writer has revealed that the original idea for the next 007 adventure was thrown out at the last minute. Now, Haggis is hard at work on a rewrite of a Neil Purvis and Robert Wade script. He spoke to Esquire magazine back last month."This one's tougher than Casino Royale, which wasn't a small amount of work, but there was an existing book. I thought I had come up with a terrific plot, and we'd worked it all the way through, and yesterday we tossed it out." He admitted.Bond 22 is set to start filming in December.
