The latest James Bond film has officially been killed off and scrapped due to MGM's ongoing cash crisis.
Earlier reports suggested that production on Bond 23 had been suspended until the film studio could sort out its financial difficulties, but now ITN have reported that the production company behind the project have officially announced it is DOA.
EON released a statement ominously confirming: "We do not know when development will resume and cannot comment further at this stage."
American Beauty's Sam Mendes had been lined up to direct the next installment, but it could now be years before 007 returns to the big screen.

I'm not a fan of the new Daniel Craig movies, so this doesn't really break my heart.

I don't really like Bond movies, but I'd have seen it had Sam Mendes been behind the camera.

I like the older bond movies tbh. The newer ones doesn't appeal me.

It sounds absolutely crazy that a film like Bond isn't able to get proper funding. I think Craig's James Bond has been one of the best transformations of a franchise we have ever seen, so as long as he resumes the role when it eventually is given the green light, I'll be happy.

I really hope that some day we get one more Craig 007 flick.

I was excited for this one! Sam Mendes is awesome. I like Craig's Bond.

This is annoying as ive seen all the recent ones, but means there will be a lot more hype and expectation for the next one hopefully resulting in a better end product...

Craigs Bond was good and I enjoyed the more realistic feel of it........especially the uncompromising view of MI:6

At least Goldeneye gets released this year on the Wii with Daniel Craig in the lead role. It'll fill that void a little bit.
