007 producers, Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli of EON Productions, today announced they have suspended development on the next James Bond film previously scheduled for release 2011/2012.

"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,'" stated Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli jointly.

EON Productions have produced twenty two James Bond films since 1962. In 1995, Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli took over the 007 franchise from Albert R 'Cubby' Broccoli and are responsible for producing some of the most successful James Bond films ever, including Casino Royale and more recently Quantum of Solace. The James Bond franchise is one of the longest running in film history. EON Productions and Danjaq LLC are affiliate companies and control all worldwide merchandising for James Bond.

MIKA: I know many don't enjoy the Bond franchise but I for one do. I hope all works out in due course and a new movie is released soon.

there were reports about this in europe about two weeks ago but it didn't mention the sale etc. was basically a problem of sourcing enough finace to make the thing, according to what i saw, which sounds really bizarre given how much the last few have made.

big fan though it is a very inconsistent series. thought the first with daniel craig was just about the best ever but the second one was dire.
