Also, MGM trusting EON not to screw Bond up would be pretty funny, given MGM went bankrupt from mismanagement. EON probably trusts MGM's judgement as far as you can throw a piano.
I hope they don't because it always bothers me as to what happens if MGM goes bye bye.
I don't mind MGM financing but don't like them owning anything.
There have been many management changes at MGM. John Calley, for one, rescued Bond with GE.
I read recently that MGM stands to make more than Eon on SP.
Yeah I'd quite like it if the homage thing was left to one side now for a good while. Too much self-referentiality will inevitably lead to self-parody. We had stacks of it in Die Another Day, a little in Skyfall and a little more again in Spectre. Whilst it's fun for the Bond fan in me for this to happen once in awhile - like watching DAD, was that the electronic noises from the start of Dr. No, and watching Spectre, that reminds me of Sister Lily and Sister Rose, I don't want this all the time. It would be good if 25 years from now a Bond film could do the same for a Bond film of now, which would be hard to imagine of a Bond film that is already paying homage to other Bonds.
Someone famous will replace them, and Bond 25 will be out next week.
Furthermore, if 3 and 4 year gaps become the norm, which it pretty much already has, and we continue to get disappointing films like DAD, and I hate to say it, SP, well, what's the point? SP is to this day the only Bond film where I didn't even bother to wait to see the James Bond Will Return credit. I do hope, with Bond 25 we get a film that ensures a future as opposed to the feeling that this one may be the one that screws up so badly it's the last.

What do you mean by "daft" writing?
If Eon actually hired decent writers, then two years is a perfectly adequate gap to have between films. I want to see Waltz return as Blofeld, as well as Bellucci and what's her name, the French actress who played Madeline. The film should start with her in Bond's flat or them enjoying themselves somewhere like with Bond and the girl from Dr No, near the beginning of FRWL. I don't think Madeline necessarily needs to get killed though. Maybe she should just choose to leave Bond after he decides to return to the service when Blofeld escapes from prison or whatever... :) In fact, I think that this would be better.
SP was extremely disappointing and was not worth the 3-year wait at all. QoS, on the other hand, is my 3rd top Bond movie, and it came out after a 2-year wait.
I am just going to leave this well directed scene here and say if Ritchie can direct a scene as good between Craig's bond and WAltz's Blofeld then the film will be top tier bond at might even beat Casino Royale as my favorite.
Like I said I have always wanted Ritchie but always assumed he would never get it.
However, I think Ritchie would be even better in re-imagining Bond with a new actor. I'm really curious what he will come up with if he can have a say in that.
