James Bond fans rejoice! One of the longest running film franchises in history will continue! MGM has set an official release date of November 9th, 2012 for a new James Bond movie, as first reported by Deadline Hollywood.
Perhaps the best part of the news is that actor Daniel Craig will once again carry the license to kill. As SBGLA previously reported, Kate Winslet’s ex, Sam Mendes, will direct the film. The screenplay for the 23rd Bond movie has reportedly already been written, but the plot is being kept confidential.
Principal production of the action flick is scheduled to commence toward the end of 2011. In light of MGM’s restructuring after its merger with Spyglass Entertainment, the film does not yet have a distributor. It looks as though four Hollywood studios, Fox, Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros., and Sony will enter into a bidding war for the distribution rights.
This will possibly be Craig’s final outing as 007 so hopefully it will be a memorable film. And I’m sure our Daniel knows the first rule of Hollywood….always leave ‘em wanting more!
