From MI6:

Bond 23 - Officially Suspended
19th April 2010

Press Release
007 producers, Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli of EON Productions, today announced they have suspended development on the next James Bond film previously scheduled for release 2011/2012.

"Due to the continuing uncertainty surrounding the future of MGM and the failure to close a sale of the studio, we have suspended development on 'Bond 23' indefinitely. We do not know when development will resume and do not have a date for the release of 'Bond 23,'" stated Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli jointly.

EON Productions have produced twenty two James Bond films since 1962. In 1995, Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli took over the 007 franchise from Albert R 'Cubby' Broccoli and are responsible for producing some of the most successful James Bond films ever, including Casino Royale and more recently Quantum of Solace.

The James Bond franchise is the longest running in film history. EON Productions and Danjaq LLC are affiliate companies and control all worldwide merchandising for James Bond.

Wow, I just recently picked up the two newest Bond films and really am enjoying the new Bond.

This sucks indeed.

I've enjoyed the two Daniel Craig films, but I haven't found myself returning to them like I have with the previous films. Has anyone else found that, or do you like the more 'serious' Bond?

Either way, I hope they get things sorted out and back on track soon. I look forward to seeing what they come up with next. I thought QoS was a bit weaker than 'Casino Royale,' mostly because it was a direct sequel. I'm hoping that the next film will benefit from being a new story.

I find myself returning to the last two now, moreso than all the classics. I hope the next one incorporates the gritty realism with the OTT spectacle of the best of the classics.

Not to make you feel worse, but did you see the recent articles on how the next movie has reportedly been canned completely?

They won't can the series. It's just the endless delay that is killing me here!
