My bet is on the gact that New Line Cinema & Paramount made a deal, they even had a court case or something similar about the Bond name.
You're confused, Oscar. Bond is MGM, not Paramount. Go get some sleep.
Edit: Sebastian, you need some sleep, too. You're cranky. There is no way Paramount deserves criticism of that level for a few postponements or cancellations. Stuff happens, and here you are getting over-excited about it. I agree that someone somewhere at Paramount - probably in their clearances department - isn't as on-the-ball lately as they ought to be. But let's not go overboard.
Yeah, there's a few lately: The Fan, It Came From Hollywood, The Tenant, and not The Italian Job. But that's just a drop in the bucket, and the first one is back on the schedule for Sept. 24th, last time I checked.
Yeah, it's fustrating, too. But I think that with a bit of patience and faith, they'll all come out sooner rather than later. The 2nd title is the one I'm most worried about, since so MUCH material in it needs clearances. But I expect they had everything but one last-minute thing that popped up, since it was a last-minute hold on the release. In fact, I bet there are pressed discs actually out there somewhere!
