This news is most excellent.

Having officially filed for bankruptcy in preparation for its next phase of existence, MGM has begun making big plans for the return of James Bond reports Bloomberg.

The studio is apparently fully intent on shooting the next 007 film in the next two years with a release date of November 2012 already being targeted, and is reportedly planning to releasing a new 007 film at regular two year intervals after that (meaning 2014, 2016, 2018, etc.).

The studio will retain 50% of the rights to that next film, while an equal partner will cover all the production costs. Further Bond sequels will be fully owned and funded by MGM itself.

The other big question is whether Daniel Craig will reprise his role in the next film or if his commitment to all three installments of the Millennium Trilogy, currently in production on the first instalment "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", will lead to a new actor taking over the role and becoming the seventh official James Bond.
If...
Ron dislikes a film = go out and buy it.
Ron loves a film = don't even rent.

    I believe that's coming on December 21, 2012. You can see the next Bond movie, then face the armageddon. :biggrin:

    There are very few movies that I will actually watch in a movie theater, this might be one of them. I loved all the classic bond movies but lost complete interest when they went with Brosnan and Dalton. I was completely unexcited with them as Bond. Yahwn....

    But Daniel Craig brought it back for me. He reminds me a bit of Sean Connery's style although they are completely different. At least they were back to true form movies. It's been many moons since I was actually excited to see a new James Bond movie.

    Yay!

    It seems like Bond is timeless and a part of me is missing when there isn't another Bond film in the works.

    I remember watching David Niven as Bond in Casino Royale (1st ver.) when I was a little kid.

    Hmmm, I'm not so sure about being excited about the next Bond flick. That last one, had a REALLY, REALLY stupid plot!:rolleyes:
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!
