EON Productions' Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, the producers of the James Bond films, announced today that they have indefinitely postponed all work on Bond 23, which had been slated for a 2011/2012 release.
"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," Wilson and Broccoli said in a joint statement.
Wilson and Broccoli took over the Bond franchise in 1995 from their late father, Albert "Cubby" Broccoli, and have produced every Bond film from GoldenEye through Quantum of Solace. EON Productions and Danjaq LLC are affiliate companies and control all worldwide merchandising for James Bond.
No word yet on how this affects the attachment of Sam Mendes as the project's director or any of the script work that has been done to date.

Meh, the franchise hasn't been as good since they did all the Fleming books. The Brosnan movies weren't too bad though. I miss classic Connery films, even Moore wasn't that bad. Still, it's a franchise that still has potential.
