What MGM boss did NOT say about Bond 24

Contrary to a Hollywood Reporter story saying that Bond 24 would be released within three years and probably in late 2013 but, our friends at HMSS Weblog just pinged me on Twitter to say that there is no basis in the report.

Having listened to MGM’s investor’s call (which I have not yet) HMSS reports that the Chairman and CEO Gary Barber said he was “hoping” for it to be released with three years, saying nothing about hoping for a 2014 release. It just shows you should always check for yourself and go back to original sources where possible.

HMSS has published more about the call here.
