Recognized for his great works in the latest two "Bourne" series, action designer Dan Bradley has been appointed by EON Productions and Columbia Pictures to handle stunt matters for their highly-anticipated "Bond 22" as the second unit director.

Both the stunt coordinator and second unit director who plotted out also directed the fight sequences and car chases in the second and third "Bourne" installments, Bradley is now expected to service the Marc Forster-directed project in much the same capacity. Producers reportedly want him to continue and build on the more realistic and gritty approach to the British super-spy.

The follow-up to last year's hit "Casino Royale", which marked a reboot of the 007 franchise, "Bond 22" currently is being planned to commence principal photography in this winter with Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli returning to the producer's seat. Pic recently was reported by CommanderBond.net to shoot on location in Madrid, Spain during late August, taking shots of Madrid de Los Austrias and its surroundings which include the Royal Palace and Royal Opera.
