Bond Leaves Britain? Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli are threatening to move the Bond franchise from Britain saying it's too expensive. Wilson blamed rising costs in the British capital and blasts the British Government for failing to help. He said: "London is the most expensive city in the world right now. To bring talent here and put them up for long periods of time and the cost of doing business here is a factor." Such a move could mean that "Casino Royale" would be the last Bond movie filmed at Pinewood Studios. A Spokesperson for the UK Film council said: "We will be doing all we can to ensure that every film that can shoot in the UK, including Bond, does."
