Hasn't he said he'd like to bring the gadgets back?

Well maybe it's not a beanie, it's a wonder weapon or it turns into a magic cup when it gets wet.

Sahara India Pariwar, an Indian conglomerate with real estate and media holdings, says it has made a $2 billion bid to buy the debt of struggling Hollywood studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.

It was unclear how MGM's committee of creditors views the offer. A spokeswoman for the studio declined to comment.

The new offer, announced late Thursday, comes a day after MGM said it had gotten another extension on an agreement to put off interest payments on about $4 billion in debt until Oct. 29.

The studio has rights to the James Bond franchise and owns half of the upcoming movies based on J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit."

It is facing possible bankruptcy but has several suitors, including Spyglass Entertainment, Time Warner Inc. and Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.

Do you have a link? Don't think this would be any good. They finally agreed on something like a deal. And India - Pleezzee!

We don't need a Bollywood Bond.

"even Sam Mendes - who had pulled out of the project because of the difficulties - is believed to be back on board with production, taking himself out of the running to direct 'The Hunger Games'. "

If this is true - wow! That would be REALLY good news!

.James Bond Producers Said to Join Sahara Bid for MGM Studio

The Broccoli family, producers of the James Bond movies and co-owners of the franchise with Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer Inc., are involved in Sahara India Pariwar’s $2 billion bid to buy the debt-laden studio, said a person with knowledge of the offer.

Barbara Broccoli and her stepbrother Michael G. Wilson are part of the Sahara India offer and would receive an undisclosed equity stake in MGM if it succeeds, said the person, who sought anonymity because the discussions are private.

It wasn’t clear whether Broccoli and Wilson would have a management role in the Los Angeles-based studio, the person said. Sahara India, based in Lucknow, offered $2 billion for MGM’s more than $3.7 billion in debt, the Associated Press reported on Sept. 17.

The overture comes as MGM’s creditors are scheduled to vote this week on a pre-packaged bankruptcy plan to restructure the company’s debt by converting it to equity in a merger with Hollywood producer Spyglass Entertainment. Sahara India has interests in finance, infrastructure and housing, media, consumer products, manufacturing and services, according to its website. Its entertainment operations include cable-television channels, film production and cinema chains.

The talks involve Sahara India’s “mutual interest” with MGM, Abhijit Sarkar, head of corporate communications at Sahara India Pariwar, said in an e-mailed statement yesterday. He declined to add to the statement today, saying “it’s too early to comment on the issue.”

Susie Arons, an outside spokeswoman for MGM, declined to comment, as did Stephanie Wenborn, a spokeswoman for the Broccolis’ London-based EON Productions.

Creditor Vote

Under MGM’s pre-packaged bankruptcy plan that creditors will vote on, Spyglass Entertainment co-chairmen Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum, who produced “The Sixth Sense” and “Seabiscuit”, would operate the studio and swap the rights to their film library for a 5 percent stake in the new company.

On April 19, EON Productions, the James Bond production company controlled by Broccoli and Wilson, said they would suspend development on the next instalment in the 007 series, which was previously scheduled for release in late 2011.

“Due to the continued uncertainty surrounding the future of MGM and the failure to close a sale of the studio, we have suspended development on Bond 23 indefinitely,” EON said then in a statement.

EON has produced 22 Bond films since 1962. Broccoli and Wilson have run the studio since 1995, when they took over from the late Albert “Cubby” Broccoli, who initially controlled the franchise rights. The family owns a 50 percent stake in the franchise, with MGM’s United Studios owning the other 50 percent. EON controls the merchandise rights while the studio handles film-related distribution.

Broccoli and Wilson asked Time Warner Inc.’s Warner Bros. film unit to stay involved in the MGM bidding, people with knowledge of the situation said in May. A $1.5 billion bid by Time Warner was rejected as too low, people with knowledge of the matter said in March
