An article by The Guardian accidentally spilled the beans on exactly when you might be able to get your hands on Big Bosss next adventure, but they were incredibly quick to remove the reference.
Thats an awfully specific release date, considering the potential of it just being something made up by a fan of the franchise. More likely the date was given in private and then accidentally published, only to be removed minutes later. The line now reads early 2015, although no mention of the gaff has been made.
