Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, EON Productions; Gary Barber, Chairman & CEO, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer; Michael Lynton, CEO, Sony Entertainment, Inc, and Amy Pascal, Co-Chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment today announced that Daniel Craig will once again return as the legendary British secret agent in the 24th James Bond film and Sam Mendes will also return to direct the screenplay written by John Logan.
The film is set for release in UK theaters on October 23, 2015 and in US theaters on November 6, 2015.
SKYFALL™, the 23rd James Bond film, took in $1.1 billion worldwide and set a new mark as the highest-grossing film of all time in the UK; it was the best-selling Bond film on DVD/Blu-ray and was the most critically acclaimed film in the history of the longest-running film franchise.
Commenting on the announcement, Wilson and Broccoli said, “Following the extraordinary success of SKYFALL, we’re really excited to be working once again with Daniel Craig, Sam Mendes and John Logan.”
“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. I very much look forward to taking up the reins again, and to working with Daniel Craig, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for a second time,” said Mendes.
Barber added, “We are thrilled to reunite the extraordinary talents of director Sam Mendes with our star Daniel Craig for the next great Bond adventure.” He added, “As evidenced by the phenomenal success of our last collaboration with EON Productions and Sony, the incredible legacy of this 51-year-old franchise continues to amaze.”
Lynton and Pascal said, “It’s a privilege to work on the Bond films. EON, John Logan and Sam Mendes have come up with an extraordinary follow up to SKYFALL and we, along with our partners at MGM, can’t wait to share this new chapter with audiences all over the world.”
Last year Commander Bond was summoned by Queen Elizabeth II to Buckingham Palace to escort Her Majesty to the 2012 Summer Olympics. The monarch and secret agent parachuted into the stadium in London for the opening ceremonies of the games. Daniel Craig played 007 in the short film, “Happy and Glorious”.
In December the 23rd James Bond adventure, SKYFALL, surpassed $1 billion at the worldwide box office. Bond went head to head with super villain and former MI6 operative Raoul Silva (Javier Bardem). SKYFALL’s release coincided with the 50th anniversary of the Bond series, which began with DR. NO in 1962.
007’s next mission – to appear at the Oscars.
The 85th Academy Awards® will include a tribute to the James Bond movie franchise, which is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year, the telecast’s producers announced today.
“We are very happy to include a special sequence on our show saluting the Bond films on their 50th birthday,” said producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. “Starting with ‘Dr. No’ back in 1962, the 007 movies have become the longest-running motion picture franchise in history and a beloved global phenomenon.”
The men running this year’s Oscar show – Craig Zadan and Neil Meron – are producers of critically acclaimed and award-winning feature films, television movies, series, and Broadway productions. Their feature films include “The Bucket List”, “Footloose”, “Hairspray”, and “Chicago”, which won six Academy Awards including one for Best Picture.
As for how Bond will make his entrance into this big spectacle, something out of THUNDERBALL would bring down the house. Better yet. In a blaze of Hollywood glory, I’m hoping Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig walk out together onto the stage at the Dolby Theatre on Oscar Sunday.
The 85th Academy Awards nominations are just mere days away – they will be announced live this Thursday, January 10, 2013, at 5:30 a.m. PT in the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater and WAMG will be there to bring you coverage of the morning. Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2012 will be presented on Sunday, February 24, 2013, at the Dolby Theatre™ at Hollywood & Highland Center®, and televised live on ABC.
SKYFALL made history this weekend as it opened to an incredible £20.1 million at the UK box office, making it the biggest Bond opening weekend of all time. SKYFALL opened in 587 cinemas across the UK and Ireland on Friday October 26th. It will release in the US on November 9th. In response to the #1 UK opening, producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said, “We are absolutely overwhelmed with the reaction to SKYFALL this weekend. It is particularly thrilling as the UK is home to James Bond and it being the 50th anniversary year.”

Daniel Craig is back as James Bond 007 in SKYFALL, the 23rd installment of the longest-running film franchise in history. In SKYFALL, Bond’s loyalty to M (JUDI DENCH) is tested as her past returns to haunt her. 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost. The film is from Albert R. Broccoli’s EON Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, and Sony Pictures Entertainment.

With MI6 now compromised from both inside and out, M is left with one ally she can trust: Bond. 007 takes to the shadows – aided only by field agent, Eve (NAOMIE HARRIS) – following a trail to the mysterious Silva (JAVIER BARDEM), whose lethal and hidden motives have yet to reveal themselves.

Listen and watch Adele’s premiere of her latest recording “Skyfall,” the official theme song to the upcoming 007 adventure of the same name. October 5th marks the 50th anniversary of the release of Dr. No, and thus the James Bond film franchise, and will be celebrated as Global James Bond Day. After a 90 second clip of the track leaked earlier this week, fans and critics have lined up to praise the “Skyfall” theme, with the Evening Standard calling Adele the “Best Bond singer since Shirley Bassey,” The Daily Telegraph describing it as “A Bond song that stirs the heart”, and the LA Times saying, “Though only about 90 seconds, what’s available of Adele’s ‘Skyfall’ seems to hint at the classic Bond themes of yore,” whilst The Guardian called it “A deliciously languid ballad.”
After reading the script for the film, Adele enlisted Paul Epworth to co-write and produce the theme song to “Skyfall™.” Adele admits, “I was a little hesitant at first to be involved with the theme song for Skyfall. There’s a lot of instant spotlight and pressure when it comes to a Bond song. But I fell in love with the script and Paul had some great ideas for the track and it ended up being a bit of a no brainer to do it in the end. It was also a lot of fun writing to a brief, something I’ve never done, which made it exciting. When we recorded the strings it was one of the proudest moments of my life. I’ll be back combing my hair when I’m 60 telling people I was a Bond girl back in the day I’m sure!” Recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, “Skyfall” features the lush accompaniment of a 77-piece orchestra.
“Skyfall” is the first recording by Adele since releasing her massively successful album 21 in early 2011. The video and song, which premiered globally via her official site (http://adele.tv) at 0:07 BST/London time October 5th, is now available to purchase as a download at iTunes (http://smarturl.it/AdeleSkyfall).
