Marc Forster Unveiled As New Bond Director

Marc Forster, director of �Monster�s Ball� and �Finding Neverland�, has been hired as the director for the next Bond film.

The film has yet to be titled (at the moment it�s simply known as �Bond 22�), however it�s rumoured to be called �Risico�, after one of Ian Fleming�s short stories.

German director Forster was brought in after �Casino Royale� director Martin Campbell ruled himself out of the production, said to be a direct sequel, in terms of story, to the 21st Bond film.

Speaking about the assignment Forster said: "The new direction that the Bond character has taken offers a director a host of new possibilities and I look forward to working with Daniel Craig."

�Bond 22� is scheduled for a November 2008 release starring Daniel Craig, Judy Dench and �ER� star Goran Visnjic is rumoured to appear.
