But it's very to the point: Bond is so many things at this point.

Seems EON has set up CR and QOS so the next one can be a fairly standard Bond-type affair (whatever that means, ha!).

A year ago this started and now it still looks plausable. Let's hope this becomes confirmed and offical soon. :D

When Sam Mendes’s name was first linked to the new James Bond film, there were many doubters. He hadn’t had a hit film since the Oscar-winning American Beauty in 1999, he was too serious, he had never made an action movie. And it was a film that needed to re-establish the franchise after a long lay-off filled with contractual wrangling. But ever since his days at the Donmar Warehouse, Mendes has had a populist side to him, and here he gave it full rein. With a new Q, a new Moneypenny and a theatrically camp villain, Skyfall has become the highest-grossing James Bond film ever, introducing yet another generation to Britain’s best-known black-tie hero.
