"The 23rd James Bond film has been officially axed and insiders predict it could be years before the suave spy is back on the big screen again.
In April, production on the 23rd movie on Bond, who was to be portrayed by Daniel Craig for the third time, had been postponed due to "financial problems" at movie studio MGM, but now it has been cancelled altogether, Daily Mirror online reported."

I've been wanting to see a black James Bond -- perhaps Will Smith or someone like that? -- maybe this would be a good time to move in that direction.
