Considering it is only an interview and no concrete announcement of any kind, I would take everything you are hearing with a grain of salt.
Maybe Babs and Michael can convince him otherwise and get Bond 24 on track for a Nov 2014 release.

I strongly believe the helmer of Bond 24 has been working on the film since March and is just not known to us - yet. It will be June/July soon.
I disagree.
I think the helmer has yet to be found. Personally, Wright is my number 1 choice as well, and the fact that he's circling this tripe makes me very upset. I hope Babs sees this and gets off her arse and hires Wright. He's always said he wants to do a Bond film.
Personally I think the prods are going to go in the Marvel direction and hire a surprising odd auter - similar to the current list of Pirates 5 director candidates.
If there's no director, no worries, we still have time.
Personally I think it will be someone we least suspect and will be rumored this month and confirmed in July
I disagree.
The lack of release date confirmation to me means that 2014 is slipping away a little more each day.
Studio tentpoles have to stake their claims early and if you look at Nov 2014 its essentially fully loaded with studio fare. It's almost definite it's coming 2015.
We just need to wait. If we hear nothing by August, then yeah, it's 2015.
Well I agree with Pirece2Daniel It might be most likely in 2015, I hope so. Up to that 2015. If again another 3 like Quantum of Solace to Skyfall 3 years again this will be the last time I see a James Bond on Big Screen.
Oh, for Fleming's sake, don't be so dramatic. The old films were every two years, yet you are getting all worked up over an extra year wait? I would rather wait longer for a great film than wait a shorter amount of time for a stinker. I am pretty sure we all would.
Broccoli seemed to manage it.
Saltzman seemed to manage a good movie EVERY YEAR.
There can be no excuses: just results.
If that's the case, I hope we don't get a massive jump in between 24 and 25, as I don't want Bond to start looking old and weathered again.
This is why Mendes bowing out is a boost for a 2014 release. Its well documented he was knackered by the whole experience and theres no way he would have wanted to start again without a decent break.
I agree with Pierce2Daniel above that no news is bad news concernig a 2014 release.
Then again if Logan has been working on the script since Christmas or before it must be in reasonable shape. Certainly with another 8 months work it will be. We need a director in the next 3 months or 2014 is out of the question.
And for all those who are saying what does it matter an extra year well
1) We have a great actor as Bond so if we go 3 years per film we'll only get 2 more out of him. Doesnt make great commercial sense.
2) SF and Bond are massive - strike while the irons hot. Again commercially it makes sense.
3) Call me morbid if you like but I'm worried I'm knocking on and dont really have the time to spare waiting another year. I already reckon I probably only have 10-12 world cups left in my lifetime and at 3 year intervals (or more) that works out only 15-16 more Bond films! At 2 year intervals I get 23-25 so get your fingers out EON.

Cast member: Bond 24 work *may* be starting at the end of this year. Take with a pinch of salt. More later....
I wonder what the full story are?
I saw that. Wonder who the cast member is and if they're returning or new. Guess we'll wait and see
