The producers of the James Bond movies confirmed today that Daniel Craig will reprise his role as Agent 007, and also named the three scribes who will pen the script for the 23rd installment.

Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who worked on the past four Bond films, will write the screenplay with Peter Morgan ("Frost/Nixon," "The Queen," "The Last King of Scotland"), according to oroducers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

It will be Craig's third turn as the dashing double agent, following "Quantum of Solace" and "Casino Royale."

A date for the start of production has yet to be confirmed.
