Sam Mendes Will Direct Daniel Craig In 24th James Bond Film

Director Sam Mendes will be directing the next James Bond movie. The film is due to be released in 2015. The Skyfall director will work with Daniel Craig, who will be reprising his role as the secret agent. The writer of the previous film, John Logan, will also return to write the next script.

Indeed, the two producers have made time for Mendes' theatre commitments (he has recently directed a musical adaptation of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory). On the matter he said "I am very pleased that by giving me the time I need to honour all my theatre commitments, the producers have made it possible for me to direct Bond 24."

Broccoli and Wilson have worked together on all James Bond films since 1995's GoldenEye, starring Pierce Brosnan as 007. Wilson has been involved in producing Bond films since Roger Moore's Moonraker in 1979.

The group do seem to make a winning combination as Skyfall grossed over $1 billion in 2012.
