001: New Wheels

Producer Michael G. Wilson confirmed to press gathered at the Bond In Motion exhibition preview day in London that 007 will be once again behind the wheel of an Aston Martin in the next outing: Bond 24. Given that James Bond's personal DB5 was destroyed in 'Skyfall', Wilson said it would be a 'new' model that people haven't seen yet. That would rule out the 2015 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S which was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this month. 002: Villain Casting

It won't be John Travolta, despite what the cult actor may think his chances are. Also at the Bond In Motion press day, producer Barbara Broccoli revealed that they are still to select the central villain for Bond 24. "We're in the early stages. We start filming at the end of the year and the next film will come out at the end of 2015. It's an exciting time for us. We've been working on the script with John Logan, Sam Mendes and Daniel and it's evolving. This is the exciting bit when we get all of the creative forces together and start to develop the action sequences. The sky's the limit at the moment. We haven't chosen the villain yet, so we're hoping to be selecting someone in the next couple of months." 003: Continuing Themes

Screenwriter John Logan spoke to Empire Online about how Bond 24 will follow up from Skyfall. The American writer told the magazine: "The new movie continues the themes of Skyfall. Some of the characters and themes that we began to introduce in Skyfall will play out, I hope successfully, in the next movie." 004: Scheduling Slip

Multiple sources confirmed that Bond 24 was scheduled to start shooting at Pinewood Studios in October (including Ralph Fiennes and John Logan), but according to the scarily accurate tips from Baz Bamigboye at the Daily Mail, the start date has pushed back a month to November. Shooting on the film is expected to run until May 2015.
