23rd James Bond Announced

ICv2’s site is reporting that Sony and MGM are financing a 23rd James Bond film.  Daniel Craig will be James Bond again and along with him Judi Dench will be M.  James Bond fans will rejoice.  This character is enough of an action “super” hero that your library’s comic book fans will more than likely be interested in this news.  Link below to the full article.

RoboCop Rebooted

ICv2 reports that Josh Zetumer has been hired to script a remake of RoboCop.  MGM is trying to reboot this character as a possible franchise property.  I have to admit I did like the first RoboCop, but the other two not so much.  We’ll see if this moves forward past this stage and if it does hopefully it will be a decent film.
