James Bond Finally Meets Defeat

[blackcherry]

Wow. Now that is a shame. I guess it does take a lot to make the bond films and at the end of the day, the british film industry has never exactly been in the most tip top shape. I'm sure that some other company will buy them to keep the franchise. I hope.

 

[Daemascus]

How does this make sense? Isnt Bond on of their biggest money makers?

 

[Del-Toro]

What I find odd is that MGM is shelving James Bond instead of countless other IPs no-one cares about except them. Then again I guess I don't know all the details.

 

[elricik]

GAHHHHHH!!!!! Why did they have to end Quantum of Solace on a cliff hanger???

 

[Random Argument Man]

There's a part of my soul that died now. I'm going to turn emo now...

Emo RAM: Hollywood will never understand my suffering that I feel inside. The torture of being in wait of a James Bond movie. The pain of not having a male "role-model". The suffering of not seeing the next hot Bond girl... God I hate myself...Damn you recession! I shall get you back...somehow...

Note* 3 points for reference...

Quantum of Solace was awful, I have never seen a movie change camera angles so rapidly, I had no idea what was going on. It's a shame that revenge has become a scapegoat for writers who can't think of a deeper motivation. Even Roger Moore didn't like it. It would be a shame if that was where the series ended.

Don't worry though, someone will eventually pick it up. It's guaranteed to make money.

I hope it stays in development hell then make another crap "Bond" film like Quantum of Solace.
A picture of Dalton too? My favourite is still Roger Moore.

personally i miss pierce brosnan compared to daniel craig, while he isn't bad i just think brosnan filled the pants better for the james bond part, and no offense the last two movies were not "bond" material in my book, what happened to the sweet ass gadgets/vehicles and one massive villian bent on all the gold in world or worldwide conquering?

in quantum of solace his car blew up almost in the first freaking scene, while in the past bonds his car was quite possibly the coolest freaking thing you've ever seen

 

[Blackout62]

Wait what if MGM withheld the next bond movie till the UN gave them all the gold in Fort Knox. It works in the movies.

 

[Suskie]

Wait. They've reached economic setbacks and are responding by suspending the most successful movie franchise of all time?

Well then...

 

[KeyMaster45]

A world without Bond is a world I don't want to live in, who's going to singlehandedly keep the martini industry in the black? Who's going to give women pursued by villainouss organizations with plans for world domination some sweet sweet lovin'? Who's going to destroy Q's high tech cars in pyrotechnic spectacular car chases?! Who, I ask you, who!!!

 

[Cody211282]

Really? A picture of Dalton with this article?

He is almost the worst bond ever.

OT: That sucks, I liked the new Bonds and was hopping for another one


[sub]Oh and if you want to get technical the man with the golden gun killed bond in the books[/sub]

if you really want to get technical, the original casino royal stated that everyone with the 007 moniker has died over the years and the original Bond was an aging British lord.

Someone knows their bond rather well

 

[Fidelias]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

OMFG!

If there was one universal sign that the apocalypse was coming, this would be it.

Repent!

You bastards...

 

[The Great JT]

Funny, since in The Man With The Golden Gun...

Spoiler

...James dies thanks to Scaramanga.

 

[TheRealGoochman]

as long as there is another Bond film (and it's good) I don't mind waiting.
(From what the article says, it is going to be made (and the series probably continued) just postponed....if you think about it, we are waiting about the same amount of time we used to have to wait for a new bond film back in the day......only one like every few years. I am in no way afraid that the James Bond series is in any danger)

Soon Mr. Bond my economic downturn laser shall cut you in half. *Maniacal laugh*

anyhizzle I never really followed Bond that much but I do watch the occasional movie when it shows up on G4 (it has nothing to dow ith gaming but who cares)
