BOND 23 gets a title and a story?

Movie James BondSam Mendes by

Word has it that Bond 23 has got it's title and story, according to Bleeding Cool. It's reported that a Serbian cellist named Jelena Mihailovic is going to perform the opening score for the film. She apparently performed in for Sam Mendes and the films producers during Cannes and they were very impressed with her.

Here is an account of the performance from Blic Online:

At one of the many concerts the musician held in France during the Cannes Film Festival, the producers and the director of the next Bond film were in the audience, who were staggered by what they had heard and on the spot offered Jelena a chance to write the opening score for the new James Bond film, entitled Carte Blanche.

Even veteran actors often let important details slip about a film and it's production, so I can believe that she could have accidentally given the title.

There is a new James Bond novel being written by Jeffrey Deaver titled Carte Blanche. Below is an excerpt from the book’s plot summary on Wikipedia:

[Bond] starts his assignment on the outskirts of Novi Sad in Serbia where an Irish sapper-turned-enforcer named Niall Dunne is planning to derail a train carrying three hundred kilograms of methyl isocyanate, dumping it into the Danube. Bond is able to prevent the catastrophe by derailing the train himself at a much safer place along the line. He is unable to detain Dunne, who kills Bond’s Serbian contacts in the course of his escape.

Last week we reported a rumor that one of the films action sequences would take place on a train, so this could fit in nicely. As for now this is just a rumor, but we will report the confirmation if and when we get it. I am a huge fan of Bond movies, so I will see this no matter what. What are your thoughts?
