It has been speculated by varying sources that with MGM back up and running, Sony Entertainment, the company that distributed the last two 007 adventures Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, will announce their take over of the franchise. Deadline, on the other hand, tend to believe that James Bond 23 may go to Paramount, as they have a very close relationship with Spyglass and are currently working with them to produce Star Trek 2.

　　据称，索尼影业极有可能负责新一集的电影的发行工作，之前，他们也负责了最近两部《007》电影的分销职责。与此同时，与望远镜娱乐关系交好的派拉蒙影业也有可能担当发行公司，目前，这两届公司正联手拍摄《星际迷航2》。

　　James Bond 23 may still be quite a ways away from actually happening, as star Daniel Craig is commited to three chapters in the Millennium Trilogy, starting with the currently in-production The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. There is currently no talk of hiring someone else to play James Bond, but if Craig is to reprise the role a third time, we still won't see James Bond 23 until 2014 at the earliest.

　　不过另一个因素也影响着最新一集《007》的计划，主演“詹姆斯-邦德”丹尼尔-克雷格全心投入于演出《千禧年三部曲》，而其中的《龙文身的女孩》正在紧张拍摄中。而目前电影公司也没有遴选新一任007的打算，若果丹尼尔三度出演这一角色，电影至少得等到2014年才能上映。
