James Bond Will Return (Again) November 2012
Thu, November 4, 2010 
Good to be wrong here, folks.
Bloomberg reports MGM is aiming their gun-barrel for the next James Bond installment for a November 2012 release. If all goes according to plan, the studio will return to the tried-and-true formula of putting a new Bond out every two years.
My growing concern with their money-woes was the longer this dragged out, the less likely we'd see Daniel Craig in the role again. Since his introduction in the 2006 reboot Casino Royale was so well-received, the higher-ups were smart enough to fatten his contract from three films to, correct me if I'm wrong here, five. So retaining his services wasn't an issue.
Plans were well underway for his third outing (Peter Morgan was brought on to write and Sam Mendes to direct). But everything came to a grinding halt until MGM's problems were resolved. Thus Craig aligned himself with potentially two other franchises - David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Cowboys & Aliens. Hey, the man has to eat!
Well as we all know by now, MGM finally stopped shitting their pants and using the toilet (financially speaking), and here we are. The more we get outta the Craig tenure, the better.

good news, i cant wait to see what the next bond will be about. i would also love for some more classic elements brought in.
At last, some film news that isn't depressing. Hopefully, we'll see Bond on the job (so to speak) in this one.
