‘Bond 23′ Not Dead, Daniel Craig is Still Waiting

It was reported earlier this week that the 23rd James Bond film was no longer on hold, but cancelled outright. This is not true, Daniel Craig and director Sam Mendes are still waiting until MGM’s financial issues are resolved.




Late last night THR ran a piece that didn’t present much new info, but came to the same conclusion we did on Tuesday: nothing new to see here, reports of Bond’s death are exaggerated. And now Deadline says that, unless a pre-packaged bankruptcy is part of MGM’s debt relief, Bond won’t be going anywhere. No sale, no transfer. Furthermore, Mike Fleming relates that he’s been told that both Sam Mendes and Daniel Craig plan to come back to Bond once MGM’s situation is resolved.



Good news for Bond fans (including myself). But really, do they expect anyone to believe that another Bond film won’t be made? It’s just a delay, calm down people.
