After the critical, and Box Office, smash hit that was Skyfall, and the brilliant setup it closed with, fans have been asking when they’ll get to see the next James Bond movie; a question which has just been answered, as Bond 24 (not an official title) now has not only a confirmed shooting date, but an official release date.
Daniel Craig will once again be reprising the role of infamous super-spy, ladies-man, and all round British MI-5 hero James Bond in the movie which is once again shrouded in secrecy (at least at this point), but is due to once again be directed by Sam Mendes (the man behind Skyfall, and the £100 million it made at the uk Box Office alone), and feature Ralph Fiennes, and Naomie Harris.
While plot details are still unknown, it has been discussed that James will face off against a ‘physically imposing henchman’ (just like he used to in the classic Bond movies); a role apparently designed for a physically fir person over 6’2; and rumours also suggest Bond 24 will not only film in London and Pinewood Studios, but Morocco, Austria, and Rome when filming begins on December 6th, ahead of an October 23rd 2015 UK release date (ahead of the official US release date, which won’t be until November 6th 2015).
