New Bond film 'in chaos' amid rows
Published Sunday, Jan 16 2005, 18:08 GMT | By Neil Wilkes
The new James Bond film is said to be "in jeopardy" over rows between Barbara Broccoli and MGM.
Barbara, daughter of original Bond producer Cubby Broccoli, is apparently keen to return to more serious, plot-driven films while MGM wants a movie laden with big budget stunts and special effects.
"It does not bode well. There is a lot of ego, money and belief at stake - no one is backing down," a source told BreakingNews.ie.
"The Broccoli camp believe they are the keepers of an untouchable tradition, and the money men want their megabucks."
The film - now slated for an early 2006 release - is also without script, director or star.
