James Bond 23 gets a release date

Good news to start the day folks: James Bond 23 has a release date, which means loyal fans like myself can rejoice. Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli just announced the 23rd film in the superb series will open Nov. 9, 2012. The film will start in the U.K. on October 26.

Production will kick off later this year, and Sam Mendes is set to direct a script by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and John Logan. Daniel Craig returns as 007. I have to admit I was afraid about Bond's future there for a second, but then again, it's one big profitable series.
