The vibe I'm getting from MGM is that they're in no hurry. I think they might be waiting until it's viable for themselves to do the distribution - which would explain why nothings happened. I really don't think now that we'll get Bond 25 before 2020, there's such a hiatus feel about things.
He sold his rights to UA, therefore the Bond rights are not completely owned by EON/Danjaq - I think that's where the suggestion of Harry screwing Cubby comes from.
By the way, the Broccolis... Yes, obviously there wasn't. You looked too much into the context.
You're right, except Saltzman didn't sell his rights to MGM, he sold them to United Artists. MGM acquired them when they acquired UA.
When was it MGM acquired UA? '81 or '83?
It is stated by Babs in Everything or Nothing that he refused to sell to Cubby which I think was a bit out of order.
A bit out of order? It was a colossal piss take. Harry clearly had a lot of resentment towards Cubby and it was mainly down to his own failures as a business and decided to fracture his friendship with Cubby and consume himself with illogical pride that would for the long-term keep the Bond movies somewhat handicapped.
Yup ....and us.
Warner Bros are apparently VERY keen to get Bond.
The scarey part is MGM owns half of Bond not just distribution or video or whatever but half the franchise. That includes all the trappings I assume like the 007 logo and *gulp* the Bond theme etc.
If and when MGM goes belly up ...they've been struggling for as long as I can remember what happens to Bond? Bond has already been delayed at least twice due to MGM. After LTK was one time and again now I assume.
So we're looking for someone who wants to invest in one of the most successful film franchises of all time, with multi millions of dollars, and want no input in their investment?
This is probably the nail in the coffin as regards to DC playing Bond again,he will probably accept the end of SP as closure to his time.
Some time between FYEO and OP.
which since Ritchie is on WB's payroll it could work well together
and befroe everyone complains about Richie I just want bond 25 Richie is not even on my top 10 but he is far from the bottom of the list.
Hear hear,and Warner Bros are lot safer pair of hands than MGM !
Choosing Ritchie for Bond would not only be a step backwards. It'd be a jump down a chasm full of exctrement. And that's putting it mildly.
She can't get enough of Danny boy, you can bet all the time on that production she will be grinding him down until he cant say no.
