Sony PicturesNow that he's found some Solace, Daniel Craig is ready to be shaken and stirred again.
The 41-year-old Brit is set to don the tuxedo once more for the 23rd James Bond adventure, targeted to unspool in 2011.
Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli have hired Frost/Nixon scribe Peter Morgan to join Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, the veteran writing team behind the last four 007 installments—including the two previous Craig capers, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.
"Peter, Neal and Robert are extraordinarily talented and we're looking forward to working with the three of them," Wilson and Broccoli said in a statement.
Morgan scored Oscar nominations for 2006's The Queen and 2008's Frost/Nixon, an adaptation of his hit play. Other than their duties for the spy series, Purvis and Wade most recently wrote The Brazilian Job, the forthcoming sequel to 2003's remake, The Italian Job.
Along with being immortalized as a frozen treat to the delight of all his lady fans, Craig is next slated to appear on the big screen in Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn, due out in December 2011.
Unlike the last two Bond flicks, which were coproductions of Sony Pictures and MGM, the new Bond thriller will be distributed solely by MGM, which released the first 20 entries in the franchise.
