No Agreement on Future of Bond Franchise
Share this Story
It looks like the studio, Pierce Brosnan, and a producer's daughter cannot agree on the substance of the next Bond film. Should there be more explosions and high-tech gadgets, or should there be a well-written plot?
It seems the troubled Bond franchise has been dealt another blow with Barabara Broccoli, daughter of former Bond producer Cubby, and MGM wrangling over the direction of the next film, "Bond 21".
Like the most recent Bond actor Pierce Brosnan, Broccoli want the franchise to return to a plot and character driven formula, with more intelligent dialogue and a serious tone.
However, MGM wants to maximize revenue on the cash cow and stick to the ever more spectacular stunts and effects.
This arguing together with the lack of director or indeed an actor to play 007 means that the next movie looks some time off. A source close to the production is quoted as saying "The Broccoli camp believe they are the keepers of an untouchable tradition, and the money men want their megabucks."
What do you think? Should there be another Bond movie and who should be in it? Is there any need, really guys?
