Pre-Production on Next Bond Installment Delayed

James Bond’s license to kill has been put on suspension for the time being.
Coming off the revelation from screenwriter Peter Morgan last month, now comes official confirmation from the Broccolis on the next Bond film. Speaking to Total Film (via MI6), producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli confess that all work on the 23rd installment (and third under the reboot series headlined by Daniel Craig) has been delayed.
We all have the MGM ownership mess to thank. Once of all of this is absolved (which is expected to be done with in the coming weeks if not days), everyone will get right back to work on Bond 3. Earlier reports from both Craig and Judi Dench stated that production was planned to start by the end of this year for a late 2011 release.
Even with the current delay, I don’t see it being pushed back to 2012. The series has had quite the reputation for being churned out fast. There’s no reason to suggest why this one will be an exception to that rule.
