Movie buzz: Bond, no Bond; food for thought

WHO James Bond

THE DEAL Work on the next James Bond film has been suspended, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "We do not know when development will resume and do not have a date for the release," the producers of the long-running franchise said in a statement that blamed ongoing financial concerns at MGM Studios, which has filed for several debt extensions in recent months. Peter Morgan ("The Queen") was working on the screenplay for what would have been the 23rd Bond installment.

THE MOVIE "Fresh"

THE DEAL Not a break-dancing film, but a documentary on farmers, business people and others seeking alternatives to America's intake of processed and mass-produced food. A screening will be followed by a cooking demonstration from Zane Smith, executive chef of the Wild Honey restaurants in Oyster Bay and Glen Cove; local band Hypnosmoothie will play during a reception.

INFO Tonight at 7:30 at Cinema Arts Centre, 423 Park Ave., Huntington. Tickets are $13. 800-838-3006; cinemaartscentre.org.
