Ralph Fiennes let the tongue slip in an interview with MTV recently, revealing that filming for the new Bond movie is to start this October.
The Grand Budapest Hotel star couldn't tell reporters much more than that, however, as he kept a tight lip on any other details attached to the new project:
"I haven't read a script yet, so I can't tell you much
"They'd probably swear me to secrecy anyway."
Details of the new Bond, or 'Bond 24' as it is known due to it being the 24th movie in the historic franchise, have been quite sparse. Apart from the clues left to us from the last movie, we've been left pretty much in the dark. So too, it seems, has Fiennes, so maybe we shouldn't feel so left out.
In the final scene of Skyfall, Fiennes took over the reigns from Judi Dench as the new 'M', as well as Naomie Harris revealing herself to be Moneypenny, concurrently. On top of that, we know that Daniel Craig is to come back and play 007, with Sam Mendes relinquishing the director's chair and John Logan, co-writer of Skyfall, penning the script.
Bond 24 is set for release on the 23rd of October 2015.
