That still gives them most of next year to prep, cast, hone script etc with late 2013 and into 2014 for filming. Seems ok to me...
Thank you, James! Maybe it's time to put in that subscription.. :-?
(I listened a recording of the presentation on MGM's Web site.)
November 2012 is when MGM CEO confirms Logan was working on the script for the next two films.
For example, there's this Nov. 14, 2012, story in the Los Angeles Times.

"Sometimes there are external pressures from a studio who want you to make it in a certain time frame or for their own benefit, and sometimes we’ve given into that," Broccoli said. "But following what we hope will be a tremendous success with 'Skyfall,' we have to try to keep the deadlines within our own time limits and not cave in to external pressures."
There is also a nice tidbit around 13 min. about where the Bond theme comes from, which is in reality a song from a french composer, that John Barry took.
Good to see this. Love Babs, she's totally got her finger on the pulse. Hope she stands by this.
Agreed wholeheartedly. I'm ecstatic that the franchise is in such capable hands. Could you imagine if EON had been sold to the highest bidder upon Cubby's death? I can't even imagine what would have happened then...
It doesn't bear thinking about does it? It's still my worst nightmare.
She learned her lesson after the TND fiasco.
Not going to include that in the timeline, unless it's later confirmed for some reason Nolan is attached... which I doubt.
Yeah I slagged Babs off as much as the next bloke over the likes of DAD, Tamahori and P&W but with the Craig era she does seem to have found her feet. Made a mistake appointing Forster but it was made with good intentions and she bravely pressed on with the strategy with Mendes rather than go for a safe Martin Campbell style pair of hands and it has paid off. She is growing into a very good Bond producer and hopefully she will go on as long as her old man.
Especially seeing as David G '007 Legends Executive Producer' Wilson seems to being groomed to one day take over. Heres a quote I found from him that should make you afraid. Very afraid.
"Eurocom, Activision, EON and Danjaq should be extremely proud of their collaboration to make the most diverse Bond video game to date," David G. Wilson, VP of Global Business Strategy, EON. "007 Legends pays great homage to the Bond legacy and is another way for fans to interact with the world's favorite spy as we celebrate the 50th anniversary."
VP of business strategy!!! And he seems to think a product like 007 Legends is a worthy and credible way to do business!?!? Bloke should be immediately sacked and Babs should take out a restraining order preventing him from coming within 500 yards of EONs offices.
I don't think Nolan was going to be available for Bond 24 anyways - wasn't he producing the movie made by Wally Pfister?
;)
Anyway, I would prefer a three-year gap. These days, You cannot keep the pace of the Connery or Moore years and still make good movies, I think.
It appears that they will launch production in late 2013, nudging Mendes out of availability to get Bond on track for 2014. More details on the project here:
