    Did Nolan ever actually say anything explicitly about demanding final cut or have Variety just inferred it from his actual words? What he said on that 2023 Happy Sad Confused podcast was:

    'You wouldn’t want to take on a film not fully committed to what you bring to the table creatively. So as a writer, casting, everything, it’s a full package. You’d have to be really needed, you’d have to be really wanted in terms of bringing the totality of what you bring to a character. Otherwise, I’m very happy to be first in line to see whatever they do.'

    'Writing, casting, everything' is more than final cut, it's pretty much 'you give me the money and I do whatever I want.' Mendes said that BB and MGW sat on set during the making of SF and passed him notes between takes - producers with that level of involvement could never be as hands-off as Nolan wanted. But Amazon might...?

    I'm not surprised Broccoli insisted that she (and MGW) have creative control, because TENET is clearly the product of a director who disappeared up his own butt. Nolan is lucky that OPPENHEIMER was received so well, because TENET could've been the beginning of the end of his career.

    "we expect to develop over a long period of time.” Sigh...

    Eon Productions reported revenue since NTTD release:
    According to corporate filings in the U.K., EON Productions — the Broccoli and Wilson company that had controlled Bond until now — received £235 million in revenue in 2021, the year the last Bond film No Time to Die was released. Even years without films were quite lucrative: In 2023, EON had revenue of more than £22 million, in 2022 it brought in nearly £16 million.

    2024 figure not disclosed. With profit like that guess Eon were not in a rush to make Bond 26. Who'd have thought killing off James Bond could be so profitable!

    The franchise, not the first film

    It’s as if a subset of fans being a broken record over the years were just overly conflating how much Bond’s death negatively impacts the brand.

    Of course since that’s not the case I’m sure you’re gonna keep harping over the audacity of killing Bond anyway like it’s some international crime.

    Amazon can't do anything (publicly) until the deal with Eon closes in May.

    Even then they've said they have no story or script. It'll still take a bit.

    Not just a story or script but also a new appointed producer and director. I don’t expect any big news until 2026.

    Nolan is available in autumn 2026, surely its worth waiting to see if he's interested. Seems like a Golden opportunity, given the series needs a guiding vision now, and that was his sticking point all along.

    I would say no to Nolan, but since Eon Bond is dead, I guess it won’t matter much anymore what happens to the property.

    They haven't got a story or script? How incompetent etc.

    (I don't believe they are, it's just that some folk think if the producers haven't pulled a script from thin air they must be terrible at their jobs)

    I don't know about you guys, but there's something satisfying about having all the Bond films from EON on a shelf (or several, as I own all DVD and Blu-ray permutations), and knowing it's a closed chapter of the 007 cinematic saga.

    recently I got rid of a majority of my DVDs but I kept all the Bond ones. Can't get rid of those
