Here is an excerpt from the report over at Deadline. For even more details about the movie, be sure to follow the link to the exclusive report at the bottom of this page.
MGM is announcing that "BOND 23" is set to go into production in late 2011. Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli of EON Productions, together with Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum, the Co-Chairmen and Chief Executive Officers of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc., today announced that the 23rd James Bond film will have a worldwide release on November 9, 2012.
Daniel Craig will be returning as the legendary British secret agent, with Sam Mendes directing a screenplay written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan. That script is being kept under wraps. The reason for the 007 delay is because it took that long for MGM's future to sort itself out what with the failed auction sale of the studio, then the pre-packaged bankruptcy getting approval, and eventually Spyglass taking over studio filmmaking.
I'm not sure about you guys, but I for one am extremely glad to hear this! As a big Bond fan (the books and recent films especially) it's great to hear that the British spy will be heading back to the big screen the same year as other fantastic looking movies like
The Avengers,
The Dark Knight Rises and
Spider-Man!
