Like the world by 007, Bond 25 has now been saved.
The state of the film was plunged into jeopardy last month when director Danny Boyle announced that he was leaving the project.
While exact reasons around his exit remain under unclear, the official reason was cited by producer Barbara Broccoli and co as “creative differences”.
The Oscar winner’s exit also meant that the script which he wrote with a collaborator, John Hodge, went with him.
In a bid to save the film (and perhaps still meet its scheduled released date of November 8th 2019), producers have now hired longtime writers for the series, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.
Purvis and Wade have worked on every single Bond film since The World is Not Enough in 1999, making their selection to produce a new script a no-brainer.
Bond 25 — which will be the last to star Daniel Craig — is now expected sometime in 2020.
