Bond 23 starts filming in 2010

Daniel Craig has let slip that the next Bond film starts shooting next year, apparently not realising that the studio hasn't released this nugget of information yet. You'd think the world's greatest superspy would be better at keeping secrets...

According to Variety, a fan approached the first blonde Bond backstage after his 'A Steady Rain' performance in Broadway and asked him about the follow-up to Quantum of Solace. The fan was told that the movie starts shooting towards the end of 2010, presumably in a gruff "fuck-off-I'm-busy" voice.

Because you can imagine Craig's pleasure, after performing in a serious play about serious tragedy and friendship and stuff, when some commoner comes up to him and asks when he's going to be Bond again. 'Er...yeah...er...next year'. And he puts his headphones back in and starts counting his money.

So, with one absolutely brilliant Bond film and one pretty disappointing one in the bag, work must be starting now on making Craig's next tuxedo outing closer to 'Casino Royale' than 'Quantum of Solace'.

First step should be picking a title that actually makes sense. Maybe something to do with 'gold'? That usually works. Though they'll probably end up calling it 'Zygote Moon Kill' or something. Christ, just play it safe and keep it as 'Bond 23'.
