James Bond 21 in jeopardy according to latest rumours

09-Jan-2005 • Casino Royale

James Bond 21 has been further delayed after a series of rows between movie mogul Barbara Broccoli and distributors MGM - reports ContactMusic.

"Broccoli is keen to return the spy franchise to the more serious, plot-driven films her father, original Bond producer Cubby Broccoli, pioneered."

"However, MGM is determined to generate as much money as possible by sticking to the movies' well-established formula of gadgets, breath-taking stunts and big-budget special effects."

"And the resulting stalemate has already delayed the 21st Bond film - which was originally due for release in November this year (05)."

A Hollywood insider says, "It does not bode well. There is a lot of ego, money and belief at stake - no one is backing down.

"The Broccoli camp believe they are the keepers of an untouchable tradition, and the money men want their megabucks."

Thanks to `Steve` for the alert.
