Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli of EON Productions and MGM have hired "Frost/Nixon" writer Peter Morgan, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade to write the script for the 23rd James Bond film.

Purvis and Wade most recently worked on "Quantum of Solace" and "Casino Royale."

Morgan, who wrote both the play and film "Frost/Nixon" and "The Last King of Scotland" and "The Queen," has most recently been working on "The Special Relationship" for HBO, and "Hereafter" for DreamWorks. He'll begin writing on the Bond film after completing those projects.

According to Variety, Daniel Craig is already set to reprise his role as 007. Wilson and Broccoli are producing. No start date has been set, but EON and MGM are eyeing a 2011 release.
