My idea of Jardhead at the time whas this feeling, but expext a more boring movie and now i see the movie it confirmd this for me how much i whant to that QOS style return. Couple of things suprise me to see in Jarhead who also be in QOS and Skyfall. Something of those thing i earlier at to earlier Bond movies like CR/QOS then Mendes. How amazing it be if Bond 24 be QOS/Jarhead setting. Cinematopgraphy/production design is great, there take more time to tell in my eyes litle bit weak end. Jarhead have a more breath moment people said there missing in QOS and i mis in Skyfall. This from a point of view that Jarhead is not a Bond movie, because there enough moments where i think QOS is a better movie/have more breath moment. Humor and drama is subtil. Biggest problem of Jardhead be that that there not happend that much with those other good things. That's where i think Bond 24 can inprove. I think the waterstory/symbol can be in good hands of Mendes with a good writer. Something i hoped on before i saw Skyfall, now he only should make it true.
Of course i am stil worried about the rest. This is of course also because iam a big fan of Tomorrow Never Dies and case be that this is mixed very well with the above.
Name it a Kathryn Bigelow moment, but i think the agression/politic points in the beginning are simalar to the one in QOS. I own 2 movies of her who i bought for intrest when she whas remour to direct Bond 23.
Another thing, once you know the clue make it a less of movie you whant see a lot. To much of open end mabey for Jarhead, not in special a problem for Bond 24.
It's only been less than a week, but it seems like a lifetime. No news on the front as of late, sadly. Hope we get something later in the month or August.
Maybe we get a Sam Mendes confirmation in early August?
I wonder how far Logan has come with the script. An early draft at this stage?
Norwegian film director Morten Tyldum (the director of the critically acclaimed 2011 BAFTA winner "Headhunters") has confirmed he was among the list of possible Bond 24 helmers.
He had a meeting with Broccoli and Wilson in LA.
"I can confirm that I've had a meeting with Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson [in Los Angeles]. They are fans of 'Headhunters', and wanted to know if I'm available at the moment. They also wanted me to read a script. That's everything I have to say about this right now."

Tyldym confirms that there is a script.
Back in 2012, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade revealed that Logan and director Sam Mendes have already dreamed up a scenario for Bond 24. (http://collider.com/neal-purvis-robert-wade-leaving-bond/)
How long can Logan have been working on the Bond 24 script? At least since October? Approximately eight months, maybe.
Back in March, Logan gave a brief Bond 24 update to BBC: "It's coming together very well, I'm very pleased with where it is." (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21799563)
It was all planned of course. Announced at 5pm on the dot.
It is such a pitty. I really would like to get this all behind me as quick as possible!
Anyway, Sony/MGM confirmed that Mendes will direct Bond 24 with a screenplay by Logan and starring Craig. The film is set for release in late 2015.

This is exactly why I created this page: to (as accurately as possible) predict a timeline. Good job, all! What comes next? Casting?
OK you know what. I'm calling bull*** of this news.
If they "can';t wait" to share the movie, why the 2015 release date? Some of us may not be that long on this earth (illness). My fear is that I only see a few Bond flicks in my lifestream.
More lies and bluster from $$Eon$$
Hats off to you JWestbrook for setting it up and maintaining so well. Casting would be my guess.
And yes, thanks @JWestbrook for this production thread. It's nice to be able to change the title and keep this rolling all the way.
So ... late 2015 is confirmed? Read the twitter again and yes; opens Oct in UK. Would have been great to have any time (like Nov) i 2014. But if we get a quality film, I'm happy. Very glad this is moving along.
Although for me, it will most likely again be a Dec. 1st premiere. Sigh ...
2015 then? Was kinda hoping to get the film by 2014 - being a fan of the 2 year interval - but hey, I'm an easy lay for any decision they make. ;) Craig will be 47 when the film is released. That's Roger Moore's age at the time of Golden Gun if I'm not mistaken... See, after Bond 24 he will still have 5 films in him. ;-)
Really Dimi. Never figured you for a cheap tart ;)
I've never known consecutive single-director Bond films - how cool?! I'm very pleased to have finally had some news anyway. I think the advantages outweigh the negatives, namely:
- CONTINUITY: I'm talking Fienne's M, Moneypenny, the new Q, the new old office, and staying with the Fleming-esque tone etc. etc.
- Good personal relationship between Craig and Mendes
- Not rushed
- Other :)
All in all, good news. Gives us a fighting chance of going up against the big releases of 2015 too!
Oh, I figured Dimi as a cheap tart - a raspberry tart. ;)
Seriously, I want to hear about Deakins being back next. That is important - Skyfall was beyond gorgeous.
You and I both. I think a lot of us are really hoping Deakins' makes a heavily-anticipated return.
