A Pinewood Studio boss has assured fans there will be another outing for 007 - despite the next installment being currently on hold.


Producers of the as-yet-untitled 23rd movie had hoped for a release in 2011 or 2012 but have been forced to stall Daniel Craig's third turn as James Bond indefinitely due to uncertainty over the future of MGM.

The decision sparked fears among some fans that Bond has saved the world for the last time - but the CEO of Pinewood, Ivan Dunleavy, has moved to end the speculation.

He says:

"I am sure there will be another Bond movie in future."


He is also confident that the planned closure of the UK Film Council will not be the end of movie-making in Britain, adding:

"That decision has been made and there are a number of functions that the UK Film Council performs and they will be ongoing."
