Tabloids punt Bond 25 release to 2018

MI6 reported earlier in the year that the 25th James Bond film wasn't expected to be released until late 2018 based on sources and the non-007 workload of EON Productions and the break to find a director and pen a new script.

The Sun have caught up with reality and published a story today echoing those sentiments.

"Barbara [Broccoli] s not going to be rushed into a Bond and wants to work on two other film projects next year," a 'source' told the paper. "It will give her time to work out a script and try to convince Daniel to maybe return."

As a passing shot, the piece throws in the name on 'Ben-Hur' star Jack Huston as being courted as a possible future 007.

Broccoli is currently producing non-Bond film 'Film Star's Don't Die In Liverpool' at Pinewood with Jamie Bell in the lead role and Paul McGuigan directing.

Daniel Craig has signed up to a number of other projects this year and next.
