London(ANI):
The
new
James
Bond
film
has
been
axed
due
to
a
cash
crisis,
according
to
sources.
The
132-million-pound
blockbuster,
starring
Daniel
Craig,
had
been
previously
postponed
amid
"financial
problems" at
debt-ridden
movie
studio
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer,
which
co-funded
the
film.
But
now
it
has
been
confirmed
that
the
movie
has
been
scrapped.
"Members
of
the
production
crew
have
been
told
the
Bond
film
has
been
canned," the
Mirror
quoted
an
insider
as
saying.
"There
is
a
lot
of
bad
feeling
as
a
lot
of
time,
money
and
hard
work
has
already
gone
into
this,"
he
added.
Moreover,
production
company
EON
confirmed
in
a
statement:
"We
do
not
know
when
development
will
resume
and
cannot
comment
further
at
this
stage."
However,
Mark
Adams
of
Screen
International
offered
some
cheer
to
fans,
and
said:
"The
last
two
films
did
phenomenally
well
and
the
series
is
a
very
reliable
performer.
EON
will
want
to
keep
it
in
the
family,
it's
an
iconic
brand.
This
doesn't
mean
the
end
of
the
Bond
films.
The
question
is
how
long
it
will
take
to
make
another
one."
