"Bond 24" is slated to have an October 2015 release date. However, new reports suggest that there have been a revision of some sort to the movie's story.

Rumors of the movie being cancelled altogether because of the delays are false. But, reports of having to rewrite the script to include some humor and wit are definitely true.

Original writer John Logan has already written the script for "Bond 24." But, director Sam Mendes was not completely satisfied with it so he asked Neal Purvis and Robert Wade to do some necessary fix-me-ups.

A source claims: "Purvis and Wade have been asked to 'punch up' the script and sprinkle in more gags, emphasising the witty repartee between Daniel Craig's 007 and Naomie Harris's Miss Moneypenny, and focusing on the interplay between Bond and Ralph Fiennes's M."

This latest development has pushed back the movie's filming from October to December. And it might follow that "Bond 24" will hit the big screens on a later 2015 date.

According to a Yahoo blog: "The need for a rewrite implies that Logan's screenplay, while solid, might've been a tad too serious, whereas 007 adventures have always had a satisfying blend of quips, one-liners and playful banter from the lead characters, as well as a serious, real undertone, especially in the latter releases - 'Casino Royale' being a particularly raw and gritty example."

Fans are also awaiting who will be casted as the next Bond villain. Earlier reports have connected Kevin Spacey, Daniel Radcliffe and Ron Perlman to the role. But Spacey has already denied that he's been offered the role, while Radcliffe and Perlman have expressed their intent to play the Bond villain.

No official confirmation has been made about other cast members including the next Bond girl.

Are you disappointed that the movie's filming will start late than scheduled? Sound of below!
