Now THIS is news! Thanks, dinovelvet.

I think this could be real

[Mr. Blofeld]

I hope that this is real!

[Cody]

Sounds good to me.

John Logan: writing credits include Gladiator, Star Trek: Nemesis, The Last Samurai, The Aviator.

It's real.

Why would it not be real? This isn't 'Cinemablend' or some other bottom feeder site, Deadline is probably THE most reliable source for news like this.

Anyway, I'm intrigued by the inclusion of the previously unmentioned John Logan in the writing credits. His highlights include Gladiator and The Aviator, and his lowlights include The Time Machine and Star Trek Nemesis. But he has two Oscar nominations to his credit, so it's safe to say EON landed a relatively big fish here and continue to seek out the big talent.

Yes, what dinovelvet said. Come on people, you should know this by now.

John Logan. That really came out of the blue. Very happy about this.

Well bond is offically back. This Also officaly annouces Mendes as the director and Annouces the writers.


So much to discuss. I never saw a John Logan film but I heard The Last Samurai was a well written film. He wrote that.


I just can't believe it and Mendes is offical!

[Cody]

A search turned up some Mendes/Logan history: John Logan wrote the screenplay for the Sweeney Todd film, and was brought on to do so when Sam Mendes was set to direct it. Mendes dropped out over casting issues, then Tim Burton came along.

[zencat]

When is the main page article coming?

No Team Members with main page posting abilities online. I've put it into quick news and sent an update to all CBn fans on Facebook. Best we can do right now, I'm afraid. I've also posted the link on my Book Bond website. Something this big crosses over.

WOW So bond 23 is offical now!

This news lends creadence to the Simon Russel Beale Rumor.

And where did John Logan Come from.


Best news EVER!

[zencat]

Yeah it's an offical press release. Wow so John Logan And Sam Mendes are offical!

Here’s the press release:

BOND 23 RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCED

LOS ANGELES, CA (JANUARY 11, 2011) – Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli of EON Productions, together with Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum, Co-Chairmen and Chief Executive Officers of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc., today announced that the 23rd James Bond film will commence production in late 2011 for a worldwide release on November 9, 2012.

Daniel Craig will be returning as the legendary British secret agent, with Sam Mendes directing a screenplay written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan.

[Aris007]

At least solid ground to step on!

[Quantumofsolace007]

Best news in a long time! no more bankruptcy talk or anything else no more wondering when would Mendes and eventually Craig move on! Bond is back

[double o ego]

End of 2012 sounds normal in principal but damn, its AAAAAAAges away. Filming to start at the end of the year?? I think Bond 24 will b Craig's last.

It will be here before you know it. I'm Just happy it's annouced.

[doubler83]

Good news.

Let all the rumours begin.

[Gothamite]

Maaaan....

Star Trek 2, Marc Webb's Spider-Man, The Avengers, Zach Snyder's Superman, The Dark Knight Rises and James Bond Returns.

Who cares if the world ends on December 21 after all these exciting films have been released?

I do hope Bond doesn't get drowned out by all of these entries, a la Licence to Kill. But either way, we have Our Man Dan locked down for a third outing, which gives him a solid three films for us to enjoy (or five if you count Casino Royale as the equivalent of three Bond films, as I do )

No news in 007.com yet

[Aris007]

Comingsoon also reports.

Comingsoon

[Vauxhall]

Woop! Let's roll.

[Gothamite]

No news in 007.com yet

It probably wouldn't make that much sense from a marketing perspective to put an update like that on the site, when filming is still a while off. Casual fans aren't going to get that excited yet and Eon are still probably focusing on maximising sales of GoldenEye and Blood Stone.

[zencat]

Wait, is Nov 9 before or after the end of the world?

[Garth007]

Wow Fantastic News!! Bond Filming at the end of the year = set pic, leaks, etc. and possibly a new bond game YAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
