The filming date for James Bond 24 has been leaked by Ralph Fiennes.

Fiennes, who plays Mallory in the film and replaced Judi Dench as M in Skyfall, told MTV when the shooting for the 24th installment of the famous British spy will commence.

“It’s meant to start shooting in October,” Fiennes said.

The Grand Budapest Hotel star claims he knows nothing about the upcoming Bond movie, though.

“I haven’t read a script yet, so I can’t tell you much,” he said.

“They’d probably swear me to secrecy anyway.”

Daniel Craig will reprise his role as Agent 007, the man with a license to kill.

Sam Mendes will return as director, although he initially thought he couldn’t commit the time to it.

“I am very pleased that by giving me the time I need to honor all my theater commitments, the producers have made it possible for me to direct Bond 24. I very much look forward to taking up the reins again, and to working with Daniel Craig, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for a second time,” said Mendes in a statement.

Skyfall co-writer John Logan will be providing the script.

Bond 24 will premiere in theaters on November 6, 2015.
