The Internet lit up today with MGM’s announcement that Peter Morgan (Froxt/Nixon, The Queen) had joined two of the writers of the last four Bonds, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, to write the screenplay for the as-yet-untitled James Bond 23.

The first James Bond movie I ever saw in a theater was The Spy Who Loved Me. My older brothers had seen it first and I remember them chattering excitedly about the ski jump and the submarine car and this crazy [...]
