After hearing that the unfortunately delayed next installment ofJames Bondwas being halted by MGM's financial woes, good news came in the form of a plan for Agent 007 toreturn in November 2012. Whilered tape and rumblingsof halted pre-production had recently created skepticism about hitting that mark, today MGM officially announced (via press release) that James Bond will return to theaters onNovember 9th, 2012. And if that wasn't enough good news,Daniel Craigis confirmed to reprise his role on Her Majesty's Secret Service andSam Mendeswill still be at the helm of this23rd installmentof the ever-growing James Bond franchise.Hell yes!
One thing's for sure, Craig is going to be very busy over the next few years since he is also signed for the American adaptation of all three installments of Steig Larsson'sMillennium Trilogywhich begins withThe Girl with the Dragon Tattoocurrently in production. Take that into account with MGM's plans for one Bond movie every two years and Craig's got a busy schedule.
Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan are behind the screenplay, and while we don't have any details yet, that surely won't stop Bond's biggest fans from getting excited. The film is still simply being referred to asBond 23, and we'll be eagerly awaiting the official title sometime down the road. Personally, I can't wait to finally see Sam Mendes take on 007. Craig has just done a phenomenal job as Bond, and thinking back to Mendes work with him onRoad to Perdition, I can't wait to see what these two do with this franchise. Excited?
