New James Bond Delayed

Fans of British super-spy James Bond will now have to wait even longer to see 007 return to our screens as MGM announced that the latest adventure, Bond 23, has been delayed with the company citing financial issues.

A statement by MGM read: "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"

The news will come as a huge disappointment to those who were looking forward to seeing Daniel Craig resume his role after two critically acclaimed performances in Casino Royal and Quantum Of Solace in which he portrayed a much tougher but flawed Bond who can make mistakes.

Production appeared to be heading in the right direction when a team of writer were hired in 2009 to begin work on what they described would be a 'shocking story' but little else was given away. In spite of rumors Daniel Craig is expected to reprise his role as the secret agent as he is contracted to make another two. But for now Bond fans will be forced to wait a little longer to see the next installment but in the mean time it may be worth looking back at some of his previous adventures, after all there are 22 already made.

If you didn't get the chance to Craig's debut in Casino Royal, take a look at this trailer!
