The character of James Bond is to be reinvented for the next movie in the series.

Paul Haggis, who is working on the script for Casino Royale, has revealed that Bond will be younger and will not be using any gadgets.

"It's going to be good," Haggis told the Hollywood Reporter. "We're trying to reinvent Bond. He's 28 - no Q, no gadgets."

Producers have yet to decide on an actor to play the spy in the movie, which is due out next year.
