MGM Shutters James Bond Fan Film Parody on YouTube

Deadline: Producer Adi Shankar will not re-post his James Bond fan film online after MGM shut it down on YouTube over copyright complaints. The producer just issued the following statement on the matter: “I have the utmost respect for MGM and the iconic character of James Bond, and although I believe my video is clearly a parody of James Bond, I will refrain from reposting it online out of respect.” The Bond parody showed the Bond character reliving his glory days in a flashback and used the likeness of the most famous of the Bonds, Sean Connery. The video played for less than 12 hours.
