JAMES BOND 24 On Track For An Autumn 2014 Release; John Logan To Pen Screenplay
The currently untitled James Bond 24 is reportedly set to begin production this time next year for a 2014 release, while Skyfall (released today in the UK) writer John Logan will return to pen the screenplay by himself. Read on for details!
Skyfall hits UK cinemas this weekend (it's not out in the US until November 9th) and The Daily Mail are reporting that plans are already in motion for the next instalment. There was a four year wait between Quantum of Solace and the latest Sam Mendes helmed film, but with Daniel Craig signed up for at least another two Bond movies, the studio clearly don't want to wait as long this time. According to the site, "Bond 24 is already in pre-pre-production and the plan is for it to start shooting at Pinewood Studios around this time next year and be ready for cinemas in the autumn of 2014." They go on to add that regular screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade (who have worked on a total of five Bond movies) will not be returning for the follow-up, with Skyfall writer John Logan instead set to return to pen the script by himself. At this point, there is of course currently no word on the title or plot.
Daniel Craig is back as James Bond 007 in Skyfall, the 23rd adventure in the longest-running film franchise of all time. In Skyfall, Bond’s loyalty to M (Judi Dench) is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.
