MGM beating on Goldmember
MGM and Danjaq, the British company that controls the Bond film license, have obtained a cease-and-desist order against New Line Cinema that prohibits New Line from calling the latest installment of Mike Myers’ shagadelic spy series Austin Powers in Goldmember.
New Line Cinema is recalling all promotional materials using the name Goldmember until a settlement can be reached.
Anybody who has access to those items would do well to hold on to them since they could become huge collectors items if MGM is successful in forcing the name change.
