Supposedly leaving Sony as the last man standing and the last man willing to make what is from most account a bad deal. Problem is Sony is not on good term with the Brocs despite PR BS to the contrary. MGM and Sony's messy history is a problem but not enough to stop a business deal. Sony would be very happy distributing Bond 23, it is where they made money in Bond 21 and 22.
Some odd talk of Sony giving MGM a piece of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, not sure if it is a nice gesture or a meaningless one. Still nothing is done yet
Aaaannd there it goes! MGM people have been greedy and overdid it.. result? Deal with Sony. LMAO! Sorry this is just hilarious... the Brocs having to deal with Sony again is like watching a comedy unfold... minus the happy ending

Paramount was leading the pack of distributors, so now instead it's Columbia? And excuse me? Girl with the Dragon Tatoo.. more Craigster stuff? Doubt they are so interested in that. The really interesting bit of course is that it's hit the fan

We can sit back with the popcorn and await the developments. I'm curious to see what the next step of the war is.
There is also some talk questioning if 2012 is a achievable goal. Consider a new green like Superman has a start time, budget, locations scouted and a finished script -nomatter how much it needs to be polished before this summer. Bond has talking points and some of the oddest business workings to happen in Tinseltown in a long time.
Not impossible for them to pull it off, if there is real work being done on EONs side of things.
But EON clearly said nobody was working on the script, and we got Logan out of nowhere after the summer debacle with Morgan... they had a big fallout over the script clearly, which indicates nothing good. And, Logan is certainly nobody to write light, quick, action flicks like Bond is supposed to be. I'm unsure whether they'll just slap together something quick or whether they just won't manage to meet the deadline. The problem with Eon is they are NEVER efficient, and the fact this dude was brought on board so late in the game after a fallout...
And let's not even get into the news we're getting about the movie so far. Bardem usually wants to see a script before doing a movie, and he isn't the type to do Bond movies... well unless they're the NON Bond-like Craig ones.

He's certainly a good actor and good at portraying villains, but I'm afraid the spec above is correct... they'll just want him to REPLAY the bad guy he played in his previous movie, and that's got NOTHING to do with Bond. I'm curious to see how things unfold now.
