I know I just posted a news column, but there are some recent developments regarding The Hobbit, the new Bond film, and MGM studios which owns the rights to both. With MGM in an almost $4 billion dollar hole, The Hobbit (parts 1 and 2) is on life support, and it appears that the newest installment in the Bond series, which had Sam Mendes penciled in to direct, is officially dead. MGM has permanently stopped production on the movie. Obviously this is not the death of James Bond, but its going to be a while before we see another one, and Mendes probably won't be directing. Too bad.
Here is the link if you are interested.
The Bond series has an infinite number of chances to bounce back. I'm much more concerned about the future of The Hobbit films.
