We look forward to developing the script soon and signing a director. We are hoping within the next 3 years it will be released.Recently, we informed you that Sam Mendes confirmed he would not return. Skyfall co-writer John Logan is still carrying out scripting duties on 007′s next adventure. Daniel Craig has already signed on for two more films in the lead role. Let's remind ourselves that two years is the norm between Bond films, with bigger gaps usually down to legal issues or change of actors playing 007. A lot of people have been rumored or mentioned as dream directors, but the leading candidate is still Guy Ritchie. How about you?
