It is being reported that MGM have announced the next Bond film will be going into production later this year with a scheduled release date of 9 November 2012. The future of the franchise has been uncertain for some time with MGM experiencing financial troubles and having to rethink its strategy for the future.
With the recent news of production starting it is also being said that Daniel Craig will be returning to the role for his third time, and that director Sam Mendes is still attached to the project.
Plot details and a possible title are still yet to be revealed, one of the things I love about the series reboot has been the reintroduction of a shadow organisation spanning multiple films that Bond works against, such a throwback to the organisation ‘Spectre’ from the early Bond movies has been fantastic.
