MGM: Next James Bond Film Coming Within 3 Years

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

With Skyfall finally beginning to make its retreat from UK cinemas, attention has turned to Bond’s next outing, with MGM announcing plans to release the next adventure within the next three years.

“We are currently developing the screenplay and working with our partners,” revealed MGM CEO Gary Barber. “We look forward to developing the script soon and signing a director. We are hoping within the next three years it will be released.”

Barber went on to say the studio will “look forward to announcing a director soon,” with a large pair of shoes to be filled following Sam Mendes’ announcement that he will not be returning behind the camera.

While Mendes might be out, he may yet have some input in the film, having hatched an idea for a story with writer John Logan. Logan himself will be staying on to pen the script, so Mendes’ influence may yet be felt.

In the meantime, it’s time to start speculating as to who might take his place in the director’s chair. As ever, share your suggestions with us in the comments below.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
