James Bond fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Sort of. An MGM executive has spoken about some details surrounding Bond 21, the Brosnan "saga" and a timetable for announcements to be made.

MGM Chief Operating Officer Chris McGurk has talked with the UK trade newspaper Variety about certain issues regarding Bond 21. Among interesting notable comments, McGurk said that "all creative decisions are mutual between the studio and the producers. They make recommendations and both sides can say yea or nay. We're going to go through the same process on this one."

Brosnan's apparent "impasse" between himself and James Bond producers, according to McGurk, is false. "Like any good production relationship between top-tier producers and a studio, you're always going to have disagreements," he says. "We had a lot of disagreements on the last Bond, and they all got sorted out to everybody's satisfaction."
