Bond 24 may come sooner rather than later

James Bond star Daniel Craig has said that the next 007 adventure after "Skyfall" may come sooner rather than later, indicating the series could return to its two-year cycle again.

That would place Bond 24, his fourth film, around November 2014 - the release window that Sony were hoping for.

When asked by MTV if Bond 24 will begin production sooner rather than later, Craig said: "Ask the producers. I don't know. I think they'd like to [speed up the timetable], and I think that would be the plan."

"That was too long last time, although I quite enjoyed the gap, but it's too long. As long as we've got the script and we're ready to go, there's no reason why we can't start shooting."

As MI6 reported earlier, pre-production work has already begun on Bond 24. To meet a November 2014 release date, filming would have to start around January 2014.
