Seems like a lifetime away, but James Bond will return to cinemas for the 25th time on November 8, 2019, with Daniel Craig reprising his role as the super-spy 007.
No UK date set in stone but I hear it will be EARLIER than in the US.
Oo-er!
The franchise released the news via Twitter, telling fans: “James Bond will return to US cinemas on November 8, 2019, with a traditional earlier release in the UK and the rest of the world.”
Danny Boyle will be directing and is currently working on the latest script. Speaking to Metro US at a screening of his new TV show Trust, Boyle confirmed his involvement in Bond 25, explaining: “We are working on a script right now and it all depends on that really.”
He added: “I am working on a Richard Curtis script at the moment.
“We hope to start shooting that in 6 or 7 weeks. Then Bond would be right at the end of the year. But we are working on them both right now.”
Craig said recently on a US TV show: “I have been quite cagey about it. I have been doing interviews all day and people have been asking me and I think I’ve been rather coy.
“But kind of felt like if I was going to speak the truth I should speak truth to you.”
Craig went on to say he had known he would be playing 007 again for a “couple of months”.
Naomie Harris is expected to return as Moneypenny, Ben Whishaw as Q and Ralph Fiennes as M, although no official announcements have been made.
An astonishing plot leak has revealed that Bond 25 will see the famous spy completely transform his life.
Page Six claims the leaked plot summary reads: “Bond quits the secret service, and he’s in love and gets married.”
The plot then sees his wife get killed, which brings him back into action – which sounds similar to the plot of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
“The film’s like Taken with Bond,” another leaked comment reads, referring to the Liam Neeson movies.
The woman that Daniel Craig’s Bond marries is apparently Dr Madeleine Swann, played by Lea Seydoux in Spectre.
SOO(7) excited!
