Good-bye Mr. Bond?

[Captain Kangaroo PIMP]

James bond studio MGM is over 6 billion in debt as a result bond 23 is on hold. This makes me very sad as a longtime
Bond fan. What do you think will the movies ever come back or is 007 dead?

 

[Dags90]

Because they could never sell the rights to the Bond franchise to another studio in order to raise funds. Personally, it's no skin off my teeth if the Bond series goes away.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Didn't this happen several months ago? I'm sure I saw a News thread about it as well.

 

[StonkThis]

I don't like the new guy anyway. Hated the ones with him in it too.

 

[AvsJoe]

They're on an indefinite hold now and the problem won't be resolved in a while. However, if nothing else the Bond franchise is waaaay too lucrative to be done for good. I'll bet it will be sold to another studio and another film will immediately be put into the works, be it original or a remake.

 

[Furious Styles]

I really dislike James Bond films, so really, really don't care what happens. Frankly, it would please me if there wasn't another one.

 

[Matt_LRR]

I find people's distatte for the bond franchise in general (and daniel crag specifically) disappointing.

I would also be very disappointed if bond didn't make good on his promise of:

"James Bond will return..."

Bond's never been good. It's just teary eyed nostalgia and quirky 'British' style that's kept it going for so long anyway.

I am English. And on behalf of English men everywhere let me make this very clear. We aren't like that. Any affiliation with that twat is simply circumstantial and you can't prove otherwise.

As an American, I rather resent that. I haven't seen many of the older Bond movies, but the ones with Daniel Craig doesn't strike me as offensively British.

James Bond makes bucketloads of money, so they'll probably get sold off if MGM goes down the drain.

Well, now I don't have any reason to visit England anymore.

OT: I'd actually prefer if they stayed dead. Quantum of Solace showed that without Ian Fleming's writing the stories aren't as good as they used to be. Let the series die out and come up with something new.

Like Agent Cody Banks!

Yes, I quite agree wi-WAIT A MINUTE!

Judi Dench? Is that you?

 

[CombiBlood]

Connery and Brosnan are the best bonds, so the new guy and his new film can f*** off.

The new 007 film was finished ages ago.. It's just they don't have the money to publish and distribute it.
I wish some mysterious benefactor would come along and save the day...
*hint hint, Richard Branson*.

I'd like to see a source on that, please.

The stories aren't as good as they used to be with Ian felming's writing?
You do realize the films are nothing like the book, yeah?
True, quantum of solis was a piece of shit, compared to the previous films, but technically most of the films have nothing to do with the books, save for a few elements and characters.

Fleming's Casino Royale was so much better than the film it's not funny.
The ending was truely emotional and really threw you for a six.

 

[Trebort]

Bond is a good franchise to own, somebody will buy it easily enough. I'm shocked this thread has only just popped up seen as I've known about MGM being in the shit for months now.

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

If they do I hope they return to the old days of the over the top Brosnan and Connery. Bond villains need death rays and world domination plans, not gritty realism and real world concerns.

After Casino Royale I didn't even go to see Quantum of Solace, I just knew that I would hate it.

Oh no. Don't visit England. It's full of weirdo's, Chavs and cheese rolling contests. Stay as far away as you can.

As for your last bit of the post..... I severely hope that was some sort of bad joke. If more films like that were made I think I'd form a terrorist cell devoted to making people make good films.

For every disgusting film we harm a rabbit. On like TV.

People would cow-tow to us in a matter of weeks.

How could I ever joke about something as awesome as this?

Who doesn't love Frankie Muniz?

[sub][sub]Yes, I am joking. What, do you think I'm mad!?[/sub][/sub]

There's no written or physical source.
I was informed by a credible source through sound and entertainment contacts of mine that I've previously worked for.
You don't have to believe me.

I think what's funnier is you posted the German version of that theatrical promo poster, hahaha.

 

[khaimera]

As a huge fan, the type of fan that owns an actual movie prop used, I really hope James Bond dies. The movies have turned into corporate garbage, with no heart and soul, and I think Daniel Craig is not a good Bond.

Maybe Bond can live on in videogame form.
