We have so many great (and some not so great) Bond films, I'd like to see Nolans.
Worst case is just tons of bad spin offs based on secondary Bond characters, a "Bondverse". But at the end of the day, we're blessed to have such a mountain of excellent stories in book and film form, and I'm grateful for it.
Do you think Amazon would give more or less creative control than EON, say to a director like Nolan?
I honestly have no idea how Amazon work just curious how it differs to EON.
They are going to get yes-men who collect the money, shoot the film and do not supervise the editing or VFX because once they stop shooting, their work is done.
Marvel and SW are the template.
As for Chalamet, he is already Bob in the Dylan franchise, so it's only two letters steps away from Bond. More seriously, they will want to attract the Z gen, so Chalamet, even for a one off, is a good bet.
He's American, so he has zero chance
Transitions are tricky and sensitive times and they will want it to be as smooth and seamless as possible. There's a significant proportion of "goodwill" included in the amount they paid out for the franchise, which can easily be lost if they mess up.
They will want to demonstrate that they are a "safe pair of hands" and thus will avoid anything potentially controvercial in their first outing.
IMO they will want to bring everyone onboard the new ship and won't risk alienating any significant portion of the fan base so early in their tenure.
If they do mess it up, James Bond may not be seen again until after the copyright expires...
They'll never adapt CR again. That would be a mistake.
That would be a mistake, so it's a possibility.
Lol — unfortunately true.
A Goldfinger remake is more likely.
Who’s Jacob Elordi?
He played Elvis in Sofia Coppola's "Pricilla". Honestly, I don't see him as a Bond potential, sorry.
What about Brian Bopadingdingbopadoodoo? Is he still in with a chance?
He's got the right level of fame though I suppose. I'm not all that fond of him as an actor but he has his fans. It's just that I don't think he's quite right.
What makes you think that?
They can, but they won't, because they've paid alot of money for the "goodwill" and they won't want to risk wasting that investment by alientating a significant segment of the audience fist time out. Everyone, including Americans, are used to Bond being British.
Maybe one day in the future they will want to try having an American Bond, or perhaps an American doing a British accent, but now would not be the right time
If they mess this next one up, we might not see James Bond again until after the copyright expires...
It is an overpay in my opinion but likely needed. I don't get the sense that they were on the same page.
But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about, those 007 dollars numbers, that because - look, Bond is 007 - he's British 007 and couldn't, you know, be something else - you have to have it. In this country, you have to have it. Those 007 numbers are so much bigger than any domestic exports numbers that we're talking about, like Man From UNCLE. James Bond is a fantastic british fella."
And Hannibal Lecter.
That fits. He just popped in for a quick bite.
