After numerous delays due to MGM’s bankruptcy and potential sale, and concerns that the project may never even happen or by the time it did the principal parties involved would have moved on, today the company announced Bond 23 is slated to go into production late this year. Despite the delays Sam Mendes is still attached to direct the film and Daniel Craig remains in the starring role as James Bond.
A release date of November 9th 2012 has been confirmed. That means the delay in production cost the film a full year. Details on the still untitled Bond film are being kept under wraps but the story does begin where (or in the time after) Quantum of Solace left off.
