Producers "panicked" about Bond future


James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson are reportedly "panicked" about the future of their spy series.

An MGM insider told The Hollywood Reporter: "They're completely panicked that if they go five, six years without a Bond movie, it'll be over. They don't want to kill the golden goose."

Earlier reports alleged Barbara Broccoli wanted Time Warner to buy MGM, but are concerned about a potential MGM takeover by Lionsgate, Spyglass Entertainment, or Summit Entertainment because the studio's entire 12-month production budget is less than the cost of a Bond movie.
