Amazon will take creative control of the James Bond franchise
 

[Amazon will take creative control of
the James Bond franchise under a new
joint venture with longtime rights holders
Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

The deal comes after Amazon bought
MGM Studios in 2022 as a part of its
media push.
The acquisition gave Amazon distribution rights
to the 007 franchise but not creative control.]

New James Bond incoming....

Oh dear God, don't give them ideas

Yet another staple of British iconography to be blandly corporatised and ruined.

i'm not invested enough in the franchise to be that bothered. If they produce good movies, i will watch them, if they don't, i won't :laugh:

Can someone explain to me where they're going with the franchise, considering they've ' killed off bond himself '. You can't have bond without bond , sure a different actor will play him...but why did they kill him off in the last movie? :conf: :rolleyes: .

Is it all going to turn out to be a dream ? ,and bond is alive and safe and well. Whilst he goes on his next MI5 mission or whatever. Or did he pull a Sherlock move and fake his own death?.

So there will be three new films a year?

And two or three spin-offs.

And a web series of shorts where Moneypenny and Q hang out in the break room and spill the tea about each other's unsatisfying sex lives. Moneypenny bitching about her sub boyfriend who likes to act a sissy and get pegged, etc. :shrug: You know the deal.

The new star of James Bond will be.



We all know what modern Hollywood is like.

Amazon has produced some of the best stuff that is currently available and really, james bond isn't known for its complex plot lines and deep character acting :laugh:

I look forward to the spin off show they make where they show bond going through training to become a agent

"No Mr Bond, I expect you to DEI."

I see what you did there. Very good.

Live and let DEI

So long as though do not
use a female as 007
all should go well.

Wouldn't watch it. Pah.

Yes, it is written as a Male Agent.

The quality of Amazon content is... mixed. Some of it is excellent, to be fair.

I'd say the same about Bond films (inconsistent - I enjoy some and find others insufferably boring) so maybe it's a good match.

I try to take a "nothing is sacred" approach when it comes to adaptations. Make it easier.

people are acting like james bond (a fictitious character) is an important part of their lives.

Every single james bond film that had roger moore was a pile of horse dung

What unmitigated tosh

Jesus wept

2006 Casino Royal

Amazon are normally good tbf, I agree with you on that.
