Three Writers on board for James Bond 23

The 23rd James Bond film is in a go mode! No word on the plot, but the film has three writers on board: Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who co-wrote the past four Bond films, and Peter Morgan, who wrote "Frost/Nixon."

Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli of Eon Productions Ltd. will produce.

The movie will once again star Daniel Craig as Agent 007, and the three-writers theme melds with the last two pictures, "Casino Royale" and "Quantum of Solace." Purvis and Wade drafted the script, which then got the onceover from "Crash" writer-director Paul Haggis.

Interesting that Morgan has quite a few period movies on his IMDB page, including "Henry VIII," "The Last King of Scotland," "The Queen," and "The Other Boleyn Girl." Not sure if that means anything in terms of Bond, though.

At any rate, it can’t get here soon enough for me. I’m already suffering from Bond withdrawal.
