Hear me out on this one - How would it be if they set Bond 24 in 2010? I mean, we had "Young Bond" in CR, "Slightly Less Young Bond" in QOS, and then we went straight to "older Bond" in SF. They could set B24 in 2010, making it a stand-alone adventure of course. Maybe a shorter, fluffier entry then either QOS or SF (in the vein of TND, perhaps).
Then when the DVD comes out, we can place it between those two movies on the shelf. It would fill in the gaps, timeline-wise. Of course, they might have to do some CGI/makeup to make Daniel look like his 2010 self.
