Bond 24 Will Arrive Within The Next Three Years
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/news/a466957/james-bond-24-will-arrive-in-three-years.html
I thought we were now going to get a new Bond film every two years like we did in the past especially after the success of Skyfall. I assumed the next film would be ready for release in October 2014 and the next in October 2016 but now the article above has appeared and it looks like we could wait up to three years for the next one. Surely it will not end up being four years between Skyfall and the next one? They need to get a move on. Look at what happened with Dalton. He quit in the end but there was the legal wrangle back then so what's stopping them now. I know its a lot of work making these films but they used to make one every two years so why delay it now?

They're probably covering their backs a little.
I imagine if they're close to announcing a director then things definitely seem to be moving along.
I'd say two years between releases is probably the sweetspot. Long enough to build hype, not so long that everyone's forgotten who you are or stopped caring.
Anyway, three years for Bond sounds fine to me. You can understand other franchises wanting a quicker turnaround, especially the more episodic or progressive (or faddish, perhaps).
However, it's now a billion dollar property, and they'll want to keep it that way. Luckily Bond seems to be one of cinemas true eternals, so they can probably afford the luxury of time to get it just right. Sounds like they're waiting to 'get their man' director-wise as well. Hmm...
Now then, shall we start a countdown for the Craig-haters to arrive? 5...4...3...2...
the is the way it has been for most of bonds history
I wonder who the director could be? Sounds like someone has said yes but have they signed on the dotted line?
