In a conference call yesterday, MGM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Gary Barber offered an update on the status of James Bond 24. Skyfall director Sam Mendes recently confirmed that he will not return to helm the follow-up, but an announcement in regards to who will replace him is apparently now on the way. "We are very excited about the franchise, we look forward to announcing a director soon," Barber told Reuters. "We are currently developing the screenplay and working with our partners. We look forward to developing the script soon and signing a director. We are hoping within the next 3 years it will be released." After Skyfall became the first movie in the 50 year old franchise to gross $1 billion at the worldwide box office, you would think that the studio would want to put the next one on the fast track, especially as Daniel Craig seemed to indicate during press for that movie that his time as 007 was nearing its end.

On 8 September 2012, Bond producers announced Craig had signed on for two future Bond films and not five as previously reported. This would bring his total to five films, which would be two fewer than Roger Moore's record of seven.

Ah well I guess it all has to do with teh monies.

Personally, Skyfall was the least favorite from all Craig's bond movies. I thought Casino Royale was the best.

I'm thinking it's time for Craig to step down and give someone else a go at the role.

I disagree. Chopping and changing 007's is ... off putting. I liked Pierce Brosnan.

^ I liked Craig well enough in the first two films but he was a terrible Bond in this last one, at least for me.

Maybe time for Tom Hardy or Idris Elba to be chosen (yeah just my personal choices there)

Maybe it's time to let the franchise die, (didn't like any of Daniel Craig's bonds)

[Stoffel]

At first I didn't like Craig as the new bond, but after giving Casino Royal another go I really got into it
He can do a couple more for me

*As Dushmany spins in his chair with a Kity perched on his lap* No, James Bond Franchise... I expect you to die!
