The Next Installment …
… of the long-running James Bond series has its United Kingdom release date.

The so-far untitled 23rd installment in venerable spy’s adventures will debut on 26 October 2012, Empire magazine reports today. That’s two weeks before its debut on American screens, the magazine notes.

Not much is known, but it looks like Daniel Craig is set to return in the title role. Sam Mendes of “American Beauty” fame is directing. I loved Craig in “Casino Royale,” and “Quantum of Solace,” so there’s high hopes for the next flick.

Meanwhile, here’s the classic, “You expect me to talk?” scene from Goldfinger. It’s my fave Bond film, hands-down.
