He then went on to say, "I don't think Bond is ever going to die. He's come this far, and he can go on into the next millennium."

Swordfish: Hugh Jackman ("X-Men") has joined this drama starring John Travolta, where he will play a recently paroled computer hacker coerced by a spy (Travolta) into a heist -- one final job before the hacker can put his crooked life behind him.

Skip Woods wrote the script.
