Thankfully, the departure of Sam Mendes from the Bond franchise has not slowed down the process for the next film. As previously reported, producers are heavily engaged in the next adventure for the intrepid spy. A script is currently in development and now we have some more news regarding a director. According to MGM Chairman and CEO Gary Barber:
"We are very excited about the franchise, we are looking forward to announcing a director soon. We are currently developing the screenplay and working with our partners. We look forward to developing the script soon and signing a director. We are hoping within the next three years it will be released."
I know. I know. Pretty vague but I will take what I can get. Furthermore, the producers stated the next film should be released within the next three years which (assuming the company follows past trends) puts a new Bond film in November 2015 or 2016.
This may be a disappointment to Bond fans, as previous reports indicated the film would likely be released in November of 2014. Personally I'm glad that the producers are taking their time with this one. I'd rather have another quality Bond cinema experience ala Skyfall then get another Quantum of Solace.
My only concern might be Daniel Craig's age and his continued interest in the franchise. In any event, bring on the next Bond!
