Recently, MGW said that he thinks the next film should come in 2 1/2 or 3 years from now, sometime in 2011. Now, I'm all for that, think that the gap we just had between CR and QoS was actually too short. But if they go for 2011, that means that we probably wouldn't see a film in 2012, which I think is extremely important, seeing as it's the 50th anniversary of Dr. No, and that October 5 (the exact date that DN opened) is a Friday. So, will they delay Bond 23 till then to take advantage or are they gonna do what CR did and have it come out whenever instead of looking at an important Bond date (I still think 2007 would have been better- 45th anniversary and the year 007). Or, could they do what the did with QoS, and rush it out ASAP in a year and a half (if they go with summer 2011 for Bond 23).

there is the possiblity MGW was saying that just to cover his butt and that his plans are Bond 23 coming out in 2010 and Bond 24 coming out in 2012

Same thought here. MO is get the actor for three films with an option for a fourth. Do the first three with 2 year gaps. Now if three years before 23 means a better film, I'd go for that.

I would have to agree with you on that one. I would wait three years an absolutely amazing bond film.

As I see it, the 40th anniversary / 20th film was the big milestone. Fifty years is an accomplishment, but I'm not bursting at the seams to see it celebrated.

If the choice is only between 2011 or 2012 - screw the anniversary, give me the sooner release.

[YOLT]

They have to and will make a back to back film, Bond 23 in summer 2011 and Bond 24 in winter 2012.

[Qwerty]

I don't think it will be much of a problem no matter what year the film comes out in. If there's a Bond fim in 2012, then great. If not, they will surely have something to celebrate 007, be it the Ultimate Fantasmic Super-Best Blu-ray Bond Discs or whatnot.

My sentiments exactly. Don't forget what happened with the 40th anniversary.

I think if they did do that, Bond 24 wouldn't be as good as if they waited. I mean trying to finish a film in a year might be pretty difficult.

Shooting generally takes 6 months. If they can achieve to make a decent story in a full year which is 2009, I cannot see any reason that they cant finish filming in 1,5 years.

What suprises me is everyone is jumping on 1 tiny quote from Wilson when he was caught off gaurd yet i didn't see anyone jumping to conclusions when Wilson said "Maybe the next one will be the hildebrand rarity"

A 45th anniversary is not a milestone but surely the 50th anniversary is unique of such a huge franchise and is worth celebrating. A new movie in that year would guarantee massive publicity. It would be foolish not to release a new movie in 2012.

[Aris007]

I think that they're going to release 2 films. One in 2010 and one in 2012. Just like the old good times!

[Vanya86]

I actually don't see the need for a special 50th anniversary film. Even if they do make the 2012 release it will be the next Bond film, not a not a 2 hour celebratory in joke like Die Another Day.
There are other ways to celebrate 50 years of Bond, yet another DVD re-release, retrospective documentaries etc. we don't need an actual film.
