I was surprised to read an article on the BBC website about MGM beginning plans to file for bankruptcy protection. Click on the title to this post to see that article yourself. It seems that the company behind the James Bond movies is both shaken and stirred. I'm sure that chapter 11 in any of Ian Fleming’s books never implied anything like this. I think that MGM should drop the G and would benefit from a little MM.
On a more interesting and upbeat note, the original James Bond Aston Martin DB5 from the Goldfinger and Thunderball movies was sold in London earlier today complete with ejector seat and other gadgets for $4.4 million. Although it was not a bad return on the owner's investment in 1969 of $10,000 it only made the minimum and had been expected to sell for up to $10million.
