Bond Back in 2012?

The famous words "James Bond Will Return" at the end of his films is usually a promise kept. That is, until MGM had run into money troubles that ultimately led to the storied studio filing for bankruptcy. It didn't bode well for the projects under its roof such as Daniel Craig's run as Bond. But now there's word that he could be back in 2012.

Dark Horizons reports that as a part of MGM's plan, they're looking to shoot a new Bond film in 2011 in time for a 2012 release. Not only that, but also plan to release a new Bond every two years after that in order to keep money wheel turning. That's pretty ambitious.

I've got mixed feelings about this. On one hand, it'll be great to see Bond back on screen but the talk that Daniel Craig may have to be replaced in order to meet this schedule isn't that encouraging. And promises in Tinseltown are a dime a dozen.
