I dunno, that killing he does is not exactly marry all the time ...

Erm, were you going for "merry", yerss 😄 ?

heard Joly wants to play a Bondvillain 😑

Joly? perhaps you mean Jolie?

time to update:

There was no announcement. I think the reporter heard it wrong. I think what I said was, “I’ve had my fill of talking about Bond.”

It was not an official announcement

"When a bridge in Russia is mysteriously destroyed, Bond is recalled from a mission in Egypt to investigate the connection with the recent 'attacks' and the machinations of a legitimate business empire called 'Scorpio'. Richard Falco, the owner, may hold the key to stopping the destruction of various monuments in the world..." - submitted by Lowrey.

According to one agency e-mail circulating Tuesday, MGM is committed to at least three new productions, one of them being James Bond 21, due to begin in January for release late next year (November 18th 2005)

The latest rumours from the inner circle claim that Brosnan is back in talks with Eon Productions to come back for a fifth outing as 007. Brosnan has said on numerous occasions that he wanted a fifth and final film. His original contract for "three films and an option for a fourth" expired with 2002's "Die Another Day".

He can do it, he stills looks young 😬

looks, but he IS old 😖

Mail On Sunday:

"Scouts from Eon Productions, the company behind the massive Bond franchise are in talks with studios in eastern Europe, including Prague Studios in the Czech Republic."

and

"The budget of the next Bond film, due to start filming in January, is $100 million, about £55 million"

MGM's 007 plans shaken up

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - MGM, which is in the process of being sold to a group headed by Sony Corp., has insisted on a business-as-usual stance, but that business no longer involves the immediate production of a new James Bond movie.

The studio confirmed on Wednesday that it has put the development of a new instalment of its most important franchise on hold.

As a result, the movie, which had been billed simply as "Bond 21" and was scheduled for release November 21, 2005, will not be hitting theatres in its traditional November slot as originally planned.

According to an MGM spokesperson, the studio made the decision because it has not yet found a director for the film. Sources familiar with the situation said that the producers plan to meet next month to decide whether to aim for a summer 2006 or November 2006 release date.

The five months of negotiations that preceded the Sony deal also are said to have affected the development of the film because during that period, executives were unable to move forward on the project.

Typically, the studio's Bond films go into production in January or February of the year in which a November release is planned, but to do that, a director has to be on board by the end of the previous summer.

A steady flow of directors' names has been associated with the assignment, with Paul McGuigan, who directed MGM's recent "Wicker Park," understood to be the first choice of producers.

There also has been speculation that Pierce Brosnan will not resume the role of James Bond, which would necessitate recasting. MGM was unable to confirm that possibility

that's very disturbing news to say the least

"At the moment it doesn't look like we're going to make our start date just based on the fact that we haven't found a director yet," said the MGM spokesman.

"We want to get the elements right and not be shoe-horned into a release date," the MGM rep said. "It just depends on when we find the next director and settle on him and how quickly we can ramp it up and go."

MGM declined to say whether Brosnan would return.

"Currently he's not under contract to play James Bond," the studio spokesman said. "Once we get a director then I think we can get into casting."
