Quarrel Over the Next James Bond

According to Breaking News, the producer Barbara Broccoli and MGM Studios, have a very different view of what the 21st episode of James Bond should be like.

The producer would like to have a more traditional and serious story, while those at MGM would like a big budget film that puts the emphasis on special effects and stunts.

"The Broccoli camp believe they are the keepers of an untouchable tradition, and the money men want their megabucks."

The list of problems seems too long for a film that is to begin filming in 2006.  The script is not complete, and the actors have not been chosen.

Pierce Brosnan, who did the former James Bond, has pulled out of the project.
