NEW YORK, NY --

Diamonds are forever – and so is James Bond.

The 23rd 007 film will start production in late 2010, series star Daniel Craig told fans Thursday outside the stage door for his Broadway play, “A Steady Rain.”

“We start end of next year,” he said in a video posted to YouTube.

The actor has played the debonair spy in two Bond films so far, franchise reboot “Casino Royale” and last year’s Quantum of Solace,” both huge box office hits.

Daniel, currently acting alongside fellow big screen hero Hugh Jackman in “A Steady Rain,” will next be seen in theaters as Red Rackham in Steven Spielberg’s “The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn.”
