This is an April Fools

According to the online forum CommanderBond.net and one of its members, sloppy_joe007, reportedly working for Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, actor Daniel Craig will be driving a Tata Nano in the upcoming Bond film.

That’s pretty much all we know about the next flick. Responding to several critics denouncing the information as false, the informer says the producers decided on the Nano to take advantage of the explosive popularity of movies in India, and thus broaden the franchise’s audience.

Hmmm. And what, pray tell, would he do with a Nano? Use it as bait, blowing the nefarious bad guys up thanks to its spontaneous combustion properties? One thing’s for sure, Bond won’t score any smokin’ hotties when he shows up behind the wheel of a Tata.

We can only hope that his next nemesis won’t be Rowan Atkinson and his padlocked MINI…

Bond23 (the official title hasn’t been made public yet) is scheduled for release on November 9, 2012. Craig will be reprising his role as Her Majesty’s spy for the third time. According to the most recent information, shooting should begin in November, under the direction of Sam Mendes.
