Hoping the David Arnold announcement is in the works for Bond 25
The Daily Mail is generally not considered to be a reliable journalistic source. Treat it as if it were a headline in the National Enquirer.
I kind of hope that rumour is true - Phoebe Waller-Bridge is a terrific writer.
Looks like the rumour was true. Good.

I'm still scared because of the Purvis and Wade involvement. I think we'll get what we've gotten for the past twenty-some-odd-years: a well-cast film with great action and set pieces, a great performance by Craig as Bond, but a ludicrous script that isn't strong enough to hold up all of the good work that everyone else involved in the production has contributed.
I'm following this thread and reading the articles but my desire for another Bond is greatly diminished. It just seems that since Casino Royale, each subsequent movie has just gotten louder and made less and less sense. My son and I used to look forward to each new film, now we are both just sort of "meh" about it. All of the turmoil and delays have not improved our desire, the opposite seems to have set in. Guess after so many years, boredom is finally setting in (don't want to call it old age yet ).
Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.
At the end of the announcement, we also got a first look at the house that Bond will be staying in at the opening of the film.
Locations for the film include Jamaica, Norway, Pinewood Studios and few locations in London, as well as a small hilltop town in Italy called Matera.
Broccoli and Wilson also revealed the official James Bond 25 cast, which includes returning actors Ralph Fiennes, Lea Seydoux, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Rory Kinnear, and Jeffrey Wright.
Meanwhile a few new faces were confirmed, including Dali Benssalah, Billy Magnussen, Ana De Armas, David Dencik, Lashanna Lynch, and Rami Malek as the villain...
Scott Burns and Phoebe Waller-Bridge were confirmed to be hired as writers on the Bond 25 script, working on a rewrite of the script which was originally developed by John Hodge and then reworked by franchise veterans Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.
Aside from Rami Malek, I've never heard of any of these people.Meanwhile a few new faces were confirmed, including Dali Benssalah, Billy Magnussen, Ana De Armas, David Dencik, Lashanna Lynch, and Rami Malek as the villain...
