I'm getting really tired of waiting for Bond 23, after all the hype that's been surrounding it, and this news certainly doesn't make me feel any better. The producers of the James Bond franchise have decided to postpone the next film in the series indefinitely, depending on the outcome of the prolonged sale of MGM. I hate the use of the word indefitely, because most films that are postponed indefinitely never happen. So this news could possibly spell the end for the longest running on screen franchise in history.
It also makes me wonder what other films could be endangered by this massive decision. The Hobbit has slowly been getting set up under MGM, and we've waited a ridiculously long time for that to come along. If we hear news that that is being postponed indefinitely, just take it to mean forever. Bury your hopes for an adaptation of The Hobbit, and perhaps another James Bond film, because if both of those are pushed to the back-burner it's most likely the end for both of them. The future is bleak.
