According to Ralph Fiennes, production on the 24th instalment of the James Bond franchise will begin shooting this October ahead of its release in the UK on October 23rd and in North America on November 6th. “It’s meant to start shooting in October,” Fiennes tells MTV News. “I haven’t read a script yet, so I can’t tell you much. They’d probably swear me to secrecy anyway.”
So far, virtually nothing is known about Bond 24, apart from the fact that the film will reunite Daniel Craig with Skyfall director Sam Mendes, screenwriter John Logan and co-stars Fiennes (M) and Ben Whishaw (Q). Meanwhile both Naomie Harris (Moneypenny) and Rory Kinnear (Tanner) are also expected to reprise their roles, while there’s been speculation as to whether 007’s nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld will make his return to the iconic spy series.
