Stories around the internet claim the latest James Bond film, as yet untitled, has hit the rocks with filming suspended, at least for now. The real truth is less sensational and more boring with the brutal honesty being a lack of cash, particularly from studio MGM.
The roaring lion studio (aka MGM) have worked on all of the previous 22 bond films and looked set for number 23film begin soon, but thats been put on ice as MGM try to figure out their $3bn+ debts With the eagles circling, MGM has only managed one release in 2010 so far. The former Hollywood grandee has put out just one film this year as the eagles circle to take over the stricken movie maker. Two other companies have put bids in for MGM, but neither were accepted, falling some way short of the $2bn valuation from MGM, so Bond 23 doesnt look like getting under way.
Whilst speculating that Quantum of Solace will be the last James Bond movie ever is a little wild, fans were expecting to see Mr Bond leaving a trail of gorgeous women around airport hotels and downing dry martinis at the bars by 2011, the 50th It seems highly unlikely a timely solution will be found considering the debt problems and the fact that lead actor Daniel Craig is away filming other projects right now, but Bond is renowned for extracting himself from impossible positions, so who knows. That seems unlikely given Daniel Craig is busy filming other projects and Bond 23 has no money right now, but as the great man once said, never say never, again.
How about a home movie to keep the fans happy? We’ll need some help though from a volunteer, preferably under 50, male and with his own teeth. All we need is a volunteer, ideally male and with at least half a brain. and bars to pay visit to, 1 bottle of Martini, shaken, not stirred and the obligatory cocktail glass with and umbrella Gatwick airport hotels and bars to drop in, one bottle of Martini and a cocktail glass resplendant with umbrella. Add in a roulette table somewhere, a pretty lady and a fast car and we pretty much have the ingredients for Bond 23 or James Bond: Debtraker.
YouTube tomfoolery aside, the industry’s 3rd most popular franchise movie series of all time can’t be ignored for long. MGM are well aware of the Bond franchise, having seen takings of over $500million on both of the last two films and hoepfully they can leverage that power to sort a deal out that returns our favourite spy to the screens, sooner rather than later.
