Longtime Bond Writers Purvis and Wade Leave Series After Skyfall

The latest James Bond film Skyfall marks the last Bond movie for the series' veteran screenwriting team of Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. The duo's Bond film debut was The World is Not Enough and they then worked on Pierce Brosnan's last Bond film, Die Another Day, as well as all three Daniel Craig entries.

Purvis and Wade made the announcement while appearing at the Doha Tribeca Film Festival. “We’re very happy to have done five Bond movies, I think we’ve gotten it to a good place," Wade told The Hollywood Reporter. "I know that John Logan and Sam Mendes [Skyfall's co-screenwriter and director, respectively] have come up with a plot for another one, which takes the pressure off, because these films take up a lot of time.”

Meanwhile, MI-6 reports that Sony Pictures has launched their "For Your Consideration" Oscar campaign for Skyfall, pushing the film in the categories of best picture, best director, best adapted screenplay, best actor (Daniel Craig), best supporting actor (Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, Ben Whishaw), best supporting actress (Judi Dench, Naomie Harris, Berenice Marlohe), best cinematography (Roger Deakins), best film editing, best art direction, best costume design, best makeup, best sound mixing, best sound editing, best visual effects, best original score, and best original song (Adele, which seems the most contender to actually land an Oscar nomination let alone a win).
