This article in The Sun,
https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/4184491/bond-actor-daniel-craig-007-movies-famous-british-spy/
claims that Barbara Broccoli and Daniel Craig have come to terms. Craig
will make two more pictures, playing James Bond.

The 25th film is scheduled for release in November, 2019, provissionally
called Shatterhand (sounds like a Dr. No remake), and the 26th film may
be a remake of On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Nothing is official until it's official.

I thought it was recently revealed that the Shatterhand story was a hoax.

Oops. Shatterhand was one of Blofeld's aliases in the novel YOLT.

This Mirror article says it may be adapted from one of Benson's
post-Fleming novels.

Ok. I'm not buying that at all. There's no economic reason to adapt a
post-Fleming novel as you have to buy adaptation rights AND pay the
screenwriter.

I guess I had better wait for Miss Broccoli's announcement.

Benson stated that although he feels the possibility that one of his novels would be adapted as a screenplay, no one has contacted or interviewed him, much less the author of the news article. Therefore, I classify it as fake news, or as James Bond would say, rubbish.

I believe "Shatterhand" was the name Blofeld used when he was running the
"Death Garden" in Japan.

Yes. I owned up to my error in 2017.
