Brittiske manusförfattaren Peter Morgan ersätter Paul Haggis som författare till Bond 23.

Producent–duon Barbara Broccoli och Michael G. Wilson har nu den första bekfräftade nyheten kring Bond 23 klar, Peter Morgan ersätter Paul Haggis som ny manusförfattare. Neal Purvis och Robert Wade stannar kvar i organisationen ännu en gång. Peter har annars haft ett berömt liv som manusförfattare, han har bland annat vunnit Award för filmer så som: The Last King of Scotland, The Queen och Frost/Nixon.

Robert Wade och Neal Purvis kom till serien första gången till The World Is Not Enough (1999), därefter har de varit med och gjort Die Another Day, Casino Royale senast Quantum Of Solace.
