What does it take to stop James Bond? Money woes at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The studio, which is home to the James Bond franchise, is $3.7 billion in debt. And without restructuring or a sale, the 23rd film of the iconic franchise has been pushed back indefinitely.

In a press release, producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said:

Due to the continuing uncertainty surrounding the future of MGM and the failure to close a sale of the studio, we have suspended development on ‘Bond 23’ indefinitely. We do not know when development will resume and do not have a date for the release of “Bond 23.”
