More woes for MGM

MGM’s only remaining movie now that Bond 23 and The Hobbit are on hold has been postponed from a November release according to the LA Times.

Red Dawn is a remake from the 1980s and the first to be directed by Dan Bradley, second unit director on Quantum of Solace. Although principal photography has already been completed it may never see the light of day owing to the simple fact that MGM currently lacks the money to complete it – another nail in the coffin of a once mighty studio.

So the bad news for Bond fans continues; until the situation with MGM is resolved, it is unlikely that we’ll see any movement on Bond 23.

David Leigh founded The James Bond Dossier in 2002. A fan of 007 since the age of 8, he is also author of The Complete Guide to the Drinks of James Bond. You can order a copy here if you don't own it already.
