According to an article on MI6 today, work has hardly started on Bond 23.

Producer Michael G. Wilson spoke at the Bradford International Film Festival last week, in which he gave a masterclass on the making of the James Bond films.

He was asked by a member of the audience about the fast cutting style of Quantum of Solace – his reply was that Eon has always allowed directors to experiment with styles and that once the first edit has been completed there is little time to redo it.
