Daniel Craig confirms Bond 23 shooting schedule on US television

Bond 23 - 06-11-09

Daniel Craig has confirmed on US television that shooting on the 23rd James Bond film will start at the end of 2010, for release in 2011.

His announcement comes a week after he tipped off fans at the stage door of his Broadway plan "A Steady Rain", when he first responded to a question about the next 007 installment.

Speaking on the nationally syndicated Regis & Kelly morning show, Craig said "The plan is to start shooting the next one at the end of next year, so it'll be ready for 2011. We've got a lot of work to do."

When asked about his time in the city, Craig said one of the draws to do the play was to live in New York City as he had never spent any real length of time there.
