James Bond film suspended amid MGM woes April 21, 2010 Producers say work on the next James Bond film has been halted indefinitely because of uncertainty about the future of distributor Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. Producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said development of the movie was suspended after MGM failed to find a buyer. They said late on Monday they did not know when work would resume. MGM put itself up for sale after a slump in DVD sales and a lack of hits left it unable to manage a $US3.7 billion ($4 billion) debt. Wilson and Broccoli's EON Productions has produced 22 Bond thrillers since 1962. The new film, known only as Bond 23, had been due for release in 2011 or 2012. Bond actor Daniel Craig says he has confidence in the producers and looks forward to production resuming.

If they owned half their film library, you know, the one Warner owns now, I bet that could help pay off that debt.

According to last week's Variety, the value of studios library have dropped about 50% in the last few years. Another bad sign for classics.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-21-2010 06:48 PM                        Yep, all due to dropping DVD sales. Now that theatrical is "king of the hill" again, how about some "exclusive content" for us? HAHAHAHAHAHA like that'll ever happen.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 04-22-2010 10:44 AM                        Bond in 3d conjurs up images of The Stewardesses in 3d.

Wouldn't they be scrambling to get this movie made some way so they'd have some fresh income?  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 04-22-2010 12:42 PM                     I'm not worried. There was a six year gap between "License to Kill" and "Goldeneye." Things will get sorted out, and I have every confidence in the words at the end of every one of those movies, "James Bond Will Return."  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 04-22-2010 09:25 PM                     Louis B.
