Sam Mendes Is Back For One More James Bond Film Releases On October 23, 2015

The Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes who helmed "Skyfall" to great acclaim and became first ever 007's director to cross $1 billion at the worldwide box office will direct the untitled 24th James Bond film. James Bond passed on between different directors for his last six pictures — but that's going to change when Skyfall director Sam Mendes returns for the secret agent's next film. The last director to take on a second Bond picture was Martin Campbell, who first did GoldenEye and later followed it up with the series' reboot, Casino Royale. Mendes' "Skyfall" was commended as a moody-classic thriller with gorgeous visuals, but despite the acclaim, it had been rumored that he wouldn't return to the director's chair for the next film. Apparently, the distant time frame has allowed for Mendes to fit it into his schedule. This film will be Daniel Craig's fourth appearance as James Bond. Craig is also contracted for a fifth turn in Bond 25. 

It's been reported that Bond 24 and Bond 25 have been pitched and designed with a multi-film arc. As such, this would make these two films the second time in the official Bond film series where two Bond movies have been directly connected with the second film being a direct sequel. The first time was with Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. 

Sony Pictures and MGM have just announced that he'll be directing Daniel Craig for Bond's 24th picture, which is currently set to hit American theaters on October 23, 2015 and in U.S. theaters on November 6, 2015.
