"Bond 24" will start filming real soon!

It has been previously reported that the script penned by John Logan was asked to be revised by different scriptwriters- Neil Purvis and Robert Wade- to have a little bit of humor infused in the script.

According to new reports, the Sam Mendes movie has already received the green light from producers and is slated to start filming by late November.

Baz Bamigboye in his column for Daily Mail UK, dished some exclusive details about the new Bond movie.

"'Everyone's excited, and all systems are pumping away at full speed,' my 007 Informant told me, adding that Purvis and Wade's script is 'substantially different' from Logan's."

"'There was an awful lot of work to do. It was a big job. The impression given was that Purvis and Wade were hired to add jokes - but it was a bigger deal than that,' an executive at one of the studios associated with the Bond films explained."

In a separate interview on the Charlie Rose Show, director Sam Mendes shared why they chose to have the certain tone as seen in "Skyfall."

"What we tried to do, and audiences seemed to embrace in Skyfall, is that for the first time, characters were allowed to age. And they were allowed to acknowledge - in a kind of a sly, mischievous way - the history of the franchise that they'd been part of," Mendes said.

However, fans still await news about the Bond villain. No name has been mentioned up until this day which makes James Bond fans all the more excited about the new movie. Earlier this year, Daniel Radcliffe and Ron Perlman expressed their intent to play the baddie. Kevin Spacey on the other hand, denied rumors of his involvement in the role after news broke out that he has been offered the role.
