"BOND 24 & 25" Working As Two-Part Story?

After the amazing success of new Bond film, "SKYFALL", writer John Logan has been signed on by MGM to write not only a "BOND 24", but also a 25th film too. He is expected to write the both of them together and they are rumored to be shoot back-2-back as they will work as a two-parter. Other than "Casino Royale" and "Quantum Of Solace", "BOND 24 & 25" will be the first two films in the long-running franchise to work as a true two-parter story. "Casino" and "Quantum" only shared certain elements, where as these two are going to be like "Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 & 2" type of two-parter.
Now this could either work both ways because the franchise is not used to having direct sequels and "Quantum" wasn't the best move to make, but seeing as John Logan is back, it could break the curse and turn out well for everyone. And seeing as present Bond, Daniel Craig could be finishing after "BOND 24 & 25"...........surely he wants to finish on a good move, with a great writer and director.
On the note of director, Sam Mendes has mentioned that he'd love another crack at a future Bond film, most likely the next film or so. MGM have also said that they would love to have him back to, but they are also looking at other directors just in case something goes wrong and he can't come back. Danny Boyle has once again stated that he would love to direct a future Bond film. He directed the Olympic short film, "Happy & Glorious" which starred both Daniel Craig and The Queen. It worked as a tribute to the 50th anniversary of Bond.
Boyle said this about directing a Bond film,

‘I enjoy the Bond movies, always have and always will, but I have no plans to direct one. I don’t know who came up with the story, but please tell them I’m very flattered to be thought of!’
