Movie studio MGM reiterated late Wednesday it expects to release the next James Bond movie within three years, and hopes to announce soon a new director after Sam Mendes decided to move on.
In a conference call with investors, MGM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Gary Barber said the studio was developing the screenplay for the next, 24th movie in the 50-year-old franchise about the British secret agent, and furthermore announced the working title for the next film- Nightfire.
"We are very excited about the franchise, we look forward to announcing a director soon," Barber said.
"We are currently developing the screenplay and working with our partners. We look forward to developing the script soon and signing a director. We're taking an adaptation this time, with Nightfire. We are hoping within the next 3 years it will be released," Barber added.
He gave no details on casting but Daniel Craig has already signed on for two more films in the lead role as the suave 007 agent.
The 2012 Bond film "Skyfall," starring Craig, made $1.1 billion at the global box office and impressed critics. But Britain's Mendes said earlier this month that he wanted to focus on his theater projects for the foreseeable future. He is not expected to return.

Glad to see you finally fixed the verizon spam on your posts...
verizon spams not fixed im just posting from my laptop. rude
But, the next step after the script is polished is casting. so everyhone if you have your Nightffire instuctionmanuels for PS2 or Xbox, you wil probaly be the first to know what kind of characters will be in the movie
Now bear in mind we do NOT know for sure what from Nightfire the game will stay and what wil go, (for that we need a finished sdcript) but at least in the original game, our main villain is DRAKE
and what do we know about Drake
hes an industrialist.
