Details have been officially released regarding the 23rd installment of the Bond franchise. Want to know more?

As we previously reported, the film will be entitled James Bond: Skyfall and will be released on the 26th of October. Director Sam Mendes (who won an Oscar for his film American Beauty) will helm the project that will see Daniel Craig return to the role of Bond for the third time.

We have confirmation that the film will feature scenes from London, China, Turkey and Scotland. Furthermore, the already estranged relationship between Bond and head of MI6 M (played by Judy Dench) will be put to the test as their headquarters becomes the target of an attack.

The film will also star Berenice Marlohe, Naomie Harris, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney and Javier Bardem as the villain.

Mendez has described the script as “fantastic” and full of action.
