Time to shake up some martinis

Quantum of Solace may stil be fresh in our minds (for better or worse), but there's already news about the next installment in the James Bond series. From EW.com comes the announcment of the writing team...

Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon, The Queen) along with Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, the screenwriters behind the last two Bond films, Quantum of Solace and Casino Royale, will be charged with crafting the script for the 23rd James Bond film. Daniel Craig is set to reprise his role as James Bond in what has become the longest-running franchise in movie-making history. Morgan is currently working on an HBO special called The Special Relationship and the Dreamworks film Hereafter and will focus on Bond after he completes those two projects. Purvis and Wade have collaborated on the last four Bond films and are currently working on the sequel to The Italian Job.

This seems like a good mix of quality and familiarity. Sounds like I'll be restarting the Bond countdown in no time.
