People have jobs. The people who make the financial decisions at Amazon have to justify those decisions to likely keep their jobs. Whoever is responsible for buying the Bond movies probably now has a responsibility to deliver a new one if they want to keep their job, at the very least. That's how the world works, I think. Just because the entire conglomerate is sitting pretty does not mean individual divisions don't have their own budgets, their own requirements, their own goals, their own expectations, and their own set of consequences. They bought the Bond franchise because it's a reliable, big brand that helps Amazon, more than anything, make a big splash and get their name out there on a big project.
We'll get a movie. We'll get it in theaters. Amazon will want it to be the biggest Bond movie ever, to make a big splash in an established market. That should have us all excited.
Careful @LucknFate .. this kind of common sense has been known to make heads spontaneously explode, 😂
Well, they bought MGM. The guy can be busy with other things.
Well the way it works at MGM is BB and MGW are that "guy" and there's nothing really stopping them.
We are not in the 90's. MGM has financial muscles now.
They can flex those muscles like so many impotent beach boys, it’s not going to get them anywhere without Broccoli and Wilson.
Sure and Broccoli and Wilson need Bond more than Amazon.
They’ll make a Bond film when they want to, not when they need to.
Amazon/MGM are more busy than EON, that's for sure.
What are you trying to say about Amazon and Eon? Are you suggesting that Bezos and crew are playing a game of “chicken” with EoN because “they need Bond more” than Amazon does?
Seriously, try and expand on your thoughts. Who knows, you may be the catalyst to an interesting discussion…
If Bond 26 goes to theaters it's because Bezos doesn't care.
Cool. And falling trees may or may not make a sound if someone is there, maybe 🤔. But maybe not. But, yah, maybe., but then again, maybe not…
No, this is what I think. Amazon doesn't need Bond that much. There's not going to be a war over Bond.
No one was saying there would be, 😂
Of course. When Eon feels like making a Bond film they’ll make a Bond film and MGM/Amazon will oblige.
No one?
You know what? Don’t answer that; it’s clear you’re not here to expand on discussions, to debate, even. You’re here to fire off vague one line posts that you seemingly state as fact.
At first I was curious. I mean, it’s not too hard to see that you’re trolling, but I was curious to see the end game.
Well, there seems to be no point to any of this, and all I can assume is that you’re just really bored.
I’d suggest a hobby of some kind, 🤷♂️.
Anyways, keep winning at life, and best of luck to you!
A post of the year contender. Thanks for cheering me up. =)) =))
PS. I had a crush of Ms. Lani Hall when I was younger, so maybe "The Writings On the Wall" is a better example.
Well, we are talking about how strong EON is and how Amazon can't do anything. The fear is clear.
Just a theory, but I wonder if they tried to get a Young Bond TV show going and, when turned down by Eon, went for the next best thing...?

Why? Ritchie is clearly a trusted person to work with, has a strong work ethic, and delivers critically decently to well received films, working with mid size budgets. It's fine to not like the work he puts out, but he has an audience and has a solid track record. It's not hard to see why Amazon want to (and have) built a solid working relationship between him and his team.
