Bond 23 (And Possibly The Hobbit) Delayed ‘Indefinitely’
Producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli (her name sounds like a crap cartoon characters) have issued a joint statement saying that work on the twenty-third film in the James Bond franchise – which was planned for release sometime in 2011 or 2012, has been shelved indefinitely. This most certainly means delays for The Hobbit as well, which I’m a lot more upset about if I’m honest, I’ve never been a huge James Bond fan, even though I prefer the new Daniel Craig incarnation. Hopefully MGM can get their finances in order asap and the talent surrounding both films can stick around, especially Directors Sam Mendes and Guillermo Del Toro.
‘Due to the continuing uncertainty surrounding the future of MGM and the failure to close a sale of the studio, we have suspended development on ‘Bond 23′ indefinitely. We do not know when development will resume and do not have a date for the release of ‘Bond 23.’
