Bond 23 to Start Filming Next Year

Apparently, MGM’s financial woes are no match for James Bond. Production on the 23rd Bond flick is slated to begin at the end of 2011.

Sam Mendes is attached to direct the movie, and his ex-wife Kate Winslet told The Daily Mail that she’ll be moving from New York to London at the end of 2011 so that Mendes doesn’t have to cross the pond to see his children while filming.

Bond 23 is expected to be released around Christmas 2012 or spring of 2013.
