What Can We Expect From The Next Two Bond Films?
The latest installment of the James Bond franchise, 'Skyfall,' hasn't even landed in theaters yet, and already plans are being solidified for the next two films in the series. This shouldn't be an enormous surprise when considering the longevity and legacy of this franchise, but the turmoil at the studio of late made the continuation of these films anything but a certainty. According to reports, Academy Award nominated screenwriter John Logan ('Hugo'), who wrote the final draft of the script for 'Skyfall,' will not only write Bond 24, but Bond 25 as well. Evidently the next two films will contain one over-arching story. Though it is not set in stone who will direct the next outings, the studio hopes to have Bond 24 in production by fall of 2013.
This is mostly great news. After that whole MGM bankruptcy thing that threatened the franchise, it's good to know we don't have to worry about the possibility of those delays happening again for some time. My only wish is that they had made this deal, and settled on a title for the next one, a few months ago so we could get a return to the old school Bond formula involving the "Bond Will Be Back in XYZ" postscript that used to follow the roll of each end credits and hint at the next movie. If early reactions to 'Skyfall' are any indication, locking down Logan for two more films was a smart move. My only concern is that the last time we had one of these two-movie story arcs, it was across 'Casino Royale' and 'Quantum of Solace,' and let's just say the conclusion to that story was anything but satisfying. My hope here is that there will be a more cohesive narrative threadline that connects Bonds 24 and 25, and the fact that it looks like they'll pretty much be shot back-to-back is encouraging.
What do you guys think? Does the idea of another two-movie story arc entice or concern you? How can they avoid the story pitfalls of 'Quantum of Solace?'

I think they could avoid the pitfalls by not having another writer's strike. I don't think QoS was the POS everyone else thinks it is, but it's script was clearly rushed and sloppily put together, and the strike didn't help that. It didn't suck because it was a two-part story.

For my money, the only problems that Quantum of Solace had (aside from the TERRIBLE editing) was that it was facing the writing stages right when the writers strike was happening, so they greenlit it too fast. I'm not gonna justify the flaws it has, it can be hard to watch, but I don't think that it should be used as an excuse not to do two episode arcs.

You can't always judges a writer's talent because a couple of movies he wrote are not good. Considering a script has 3 lifes in movie bussiness, writing, filming and editing. The best script of all time can be butchered in any of the 2 following phase, and a so-so script can be elevated by the following 2 steps as well.
But i would agree, like in everything, there are bad ones and good ones.

John Logan has to be the most overrated writer in Hollywood. "The Last Samurai" blows, "Star Trek: Nemesis" blows, and I didn't even see that Sinbad movie, but I'm sure that it blows too. Given his sketchy performances I would not give this guy control over any franchise. EVER.

I don't mind them doing two movie arcs, but bringing back SPECTRE and having a long term villain organization would be nice.

Stop with the interconnecting of Bond movies! That's not what they're about!
