Daniel Craig to Return as Bond

Daniel Craig to Return as Bond

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.

Leith spent most of his formative years growing up on the coastal fringes of Western Australia without a cinema in sight. There he grew up on the wonders of home rentals before relocating to Perth and gaining access to a proper cinematic experience just in time for the Star Wars Special Edition re-releases. From there Leith's love of movies expanded to volunteering on a Star Wars fan film, reviewing films, writing about film news, and attending film and pop-culture related conventions on the other side of the world. Leith's favourite films are too many to mention but all start with the Star Wars saga, Back to the Future, the Dark Knight trilogy, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings and all things Kevin Smith. With an insatiable appetite for all things pop-culture related Leith also has an unhealthy addiction to the world of comics and can often be found buried under a pile of unread back issues madly trying to catch up on a number of titles coming out from mostly DC and Darkhorse.
