James Bond has killed thousands of bad guys over the last few decades, but his latest foe to slay has been his most challenging: money.
MGM’s financial woes have caused the hero to be shelved indefinitely, but it appears there might a light at the end of the tunnel.
Deadline is reporting that “007 insiders” are saying things ARE coming together, and the film is gearing up for a November 2012 release.
All the principals are still attached, namely Sam Mendes and Daniel Craig, who will be finishing up the GIRL WITH A DRAGON TATTOO remake in not too long.
The report also says that British thespian Russell Beale is being eyed by producer Barbara Broccoli for a possible turn as a villain. No word on rumored baddie option from a while back, Rachel Weisz.
What does Bond need to do in chapter 23 to get the franchise back on track?
