Up until very recently producers were unsure if Point Blanc would be made, because despite being an accomplished and entertaining film, Stormbreaker did not 'storm' the box office. That said, author Anthony Horrowitz has reportedly produced a film script for Point Blanc. Most significantly though is that the movie is registered on revered movie database www.imdb.com as an 'In Development' project with a scheduled release date of 2008. Some people say some time in November!!!
