James Bond Takeover Denied By MGM

Ever since MGM went public on their financial problems late last month, the question on everyone’s mind has been what will happen to James Bond? MGM was responsible for releasing both Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.

And, at some point, there is supposed to be another one, a 23rd Bond movie. In a recent post we told you about a rumor which claimed that 20th Century Fox was stepping in to deliver the money needed to get James Bond off and running again. Today official sources at MGM were able to confirm that this rumor is entirely incorrect.

The source said “the rumors concerning Fox taking over the Bond franchise are incorrect, 007 is still very much with Leo.” So it seems that not only will Fox have nothing to do with Bond 23, MGM is pretty adamant that neither will anybody else.

This is a sad state of affairs, as MGM really need another hit movie, if they are going to pull themselves out of their financial mess. To read more on this story go to cinemablend.com. Would you like to see another bond?
