Yes, sadly this is a fairly accurate picture, I'd hazard a guess.
I'd agree with that too, @Wizard. I'm pretty sure it will be 2015. Shame to only get 2 more from Craig. But as Connery, Moore and Brosnan all stayed on for one film too many maybe it's a blessing in disguise?
Well, two is better than nothing, I suppose, but it seems a real waste of Craig's talents and great potential in the role.
Maybe, but I think that the Bond films have suffered slightly in the past from being rushed out (TND, TWINE and QoS spring to mind) so I'd much rather have two great films than three good ones. CR and SF really seemed to benefit from the extra time they had in development.
Well, that's very true so perhaps we should not complain any more about the projected 2015 date if we get a great Bond film out of it.
That's how I feel. If it takes until 2015 for a release date, so be it. I prefer a better product that isn't out as early as a half-assed, rushed one that we get much sooner.
This would be a very welcome scenario for me and doubtless many others. Daniel Craig deserves this.
Don't send him packing quite yet.
It was the first outlet, in January 2010, that Mendes was in negotiations to direct Skyfall.
It also reported in late 2010 that Skyfall would have a November 2012 release date (which was the U.S. release date *and* the only date initially mentioned in January 2011 press release).
And it was the first to report that Javier Bardem was offered a role .

From the rumored directors I would take Nolan as he said that he is a Bond fan so I think that he can direct a good Bond movie.
btw theoretically does B24 has a script? If not is it possible B24 to be based of a 007 book ?
Using Skyfall as a template: It was announced as being back on in January 2011. Filming didn't begin until 10 months later. Filming was then seven more months. At least a couple of month of post-production followed.
Let's say they announced Bond 24 as a go on Saturday, June 1. That means they'd start filming in early 2014 and they could meet a late 2014 release date. But we're not at that point. You're looking at 2015 at a minimum.
BUT on the other hand I think, they could and would have been ready for a 14 release had Mendes said Yes right away. Maybe they just went on with things, like making things ready for starting in early 14 for a 14 release. We know, the script has been worked on for quite a while etc etc. With mendes involved with parts of that script and knowing each other so well now, they need less time to get ready. Its a small maybe, but its still there I would think.
In other words, I'd rather have Bond 24 in 2014 without Mendes than 2015 or 2016 with him.
Inclined to agree. Hooper's name is the one that excites me on the list. He's got the Mendes theatrical background and can handle big productions. I think he could push on from Skyfall plus bring his own sensibility to it.
I'm sure Mendes would make a fine movie but I worry he'll be going over the same ground given he said he put everything he wanted in a Bond film into Skyfall..
