Mail Online caught up with Kate Winslet who confirmed that Sam Mendes will indeed direct James Bond 23, and that the whole family will move to the UK during the film's production.

Daniel Craig is set to star in James Bond 23, which will begin filming towards the end of next year, most likely at Pinewood film studios.

"Sam is doing the next Bond film, all being well, and we'll all be in England if that happens. It's such a massive commitment for him and it's not fair for him to commute backwards and ­forwards to New York from ­London. It would be impossible. The children will be there with me."

Sam Mendes and James Bond 23 producer Barbara Broccoli have already had many meetings over casting, and Barbara Broccoli has visited the play "Deathtrap" twice to see Simon Russell Beale perform.
