Bond 23 film 2011. The financial problems that threatened to ensnare James Bond have been thwarted, allowing the Ian Fleming hero to return to the screen next year in time for his 50th anniversary in film.
The 23rd Bond film will star Daniel Craig – his third stab at playing 007 – and will be directed by Sam Mendes, the director of American Beauty, a darkly comic take on suburbia that won a clutch of Oscars in 2000.

The latest Bond film hit the skids last year when MGM Studios filed for bankruptcy protection. The company has since been restructured. The new owners of MGM, along with Bond producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, confirmed last night that 007 will be back on 9 November 2012. Production is set to begin at the end of this year.
There had been fears that Daniel Craig, a more ruthless and cold-blooded Bond than portrayed by Pierce Brosnan, would walk away because of the uncertainty.
