Bond 23 Coming Nov 9th 2012 & Sam Mendes Still Directing

HeatVision reports MGM has finally got their act together and pulled together their highly anticipated 23rd installment of the Bond franchise. Bond 23 has yet to be given an official title but has a release of November 9th 2012. Also Sam Mendes (Road To Perdition, American Beauty) is still in the director's chair which is a sigh of relief for Bond fans. Daniel Craig will return as well and it's likely it could be his last time playing the legendary spy.

The script was written by Bond alumni Neal Purvis , Robert Wade and John Logan (Last Samurai, Gladiator, Aviator). Paul Haggis (Million Dollar Baby) who worked on the scripts for Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace is not involved this time around. Peter Morgan (The Queen, Last King of Scotland) had been hired to write a treatment but it looks like has left.
