The duo have been the early writers on the film series since 1999's "The World is Not Enough,"and they would often do the initial script drafts while other writers like Paul Haggis and John Logan would polish.
The pair were set to retire from the series after handing in their early drafts of "Skyfall," with Logan subsequently taking over the later drafts. Logan was writing the latest adventure solo.
Now Purvis and Wade have been brought in to "punch up the jokes and add more insight into the past world of James Bond, giving the film a touch of history".
The film was originally slated to start production this Fall (October/November) but filming has been pushed back to December. The source says:
"Let's call it polite turmoil. People are getting on with their work, but we have to wait for the script, so filming won't begin till December, a few months later than they wanted."
Sam Mendes is once again directing the film.
Daniel Craig is back as Bond--we will also see the return of Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris reprising their roles from "Skyfall" as M, Q, and Moneypenny.
Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson will produce the new film
The sequel is still targeting a November 6th 2015 release--with no plans to change the date.
