MGM sells the rights to James Bond to keep operating and some other company makes James Bond Movies

Looks like even Q couldn't save Bond from this mess.

Bond's past his prime. I've never been big on the updates, though I haven't seen the Daniel Craig movies.
Maybe no more James Bond isn't that bad. |

Kinda strange how MGM scored production and distribution rights from the Broccoli family. Usually they're pretty smart with who they do business with. If anything, they'll take it in house.

I guess this also means no Robocop reboot?

If you haven't seen the Daniel Craig films you should definitely watch Casino Royale. It's great, it's unlike any of the other films (especially the last few shitty Brosnan ones).

I can say I only like Goldeneye. Most of the other Bond films I can tolerate to a certain degree, except the Roger Moore films. So, I'm not that bothered over this news. The last two bond films were basically trying to copy the Bourne films, which I found superior.

They've taken hiatuses with the series before. Sooner or later a new one will be made. I didn't like these Daniel Craig movie versions, so I can hold my breath.

No matter what happens to MGM, the Bond series will continue eventually. Hopefully soon, since I don't want Daniel Craig's stint as Bond to end up going the same way as Timothy Dalton's.

Craig is an excellent Bond, plus the grittier style of film/story. Made me excited to see a Bond film again.

Didn't care for Quantum of Solace, loved Casino Royale.
Honestly haven't seen too many other Bond films. Haven't seen the majority of pre-Brosnan ones. And of the Brosnan ones, the only one I ever bothered to watch more than once/enjoyed was Goldeneye. |

Most likely MGM sells the Bond series to Colombia Pictures who has been co-producing the films with MGM since the Craig Era started.
Either Colombia Pictures or Sony Pictures (owns Colombia Pictures) will probably end up owning the series. 20th Century Fox had the chance to own the series late 2009 but didn't want to pay the $1-$2 billion in asking price for the series and a few other MGM films. |

Bond movies with Craig were good action movies, but sucked as "The Bond movies".
Hope it's clear. |

The Bond franchise is intentionally holding out. They know that they are MGM's sole money maker, really, and by holding out they are going to force their hand into a sale. Don't worry your pretty little heads, Bond will be back.

I don't like the Daniel Craig movies as Bond movies.
Don't get me wrong, they're cool action flicks, but there's nothing Bond about them in my opinion. |

Except for the fact that his character is called James Bond. That's at least one thing Bond about them.

I haven't cared too much for Craig as Bond, but I'd still watch the new ones, simply because they are Bond movies.....
