We reported earlier that the upcoming James Bond movie was delayed. Sadly, we now report that MGM is canceling it altogether.
This shouldn't come as a huge surprise, especially considering the other problems the studio has been having (i.e. The Hobbit delays). Director Sam Mendes has moved on to other projects, including an adaptation of John Williams' 1960 western novel Butcher's Crossing, and On Chesil Beach. Script writer Peter Morgan has also moved on, as has writer Neal Purvis, who will be working on the scripts for Johnny English 2 and The Mission Song. Agent 007 aka Daniel Craig has of course picked up other projects as well - he will be the lead in the English version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Of course, the Bond series is too popular to die altogether. Someone will pick it back up, and hopefully that will happen sooner rather than later.
