Best case scenario : We get to see a Bond movie in theaters sooner or later. I'd rather sooner.
Worst case scenario : Bond is kept on the sreaming platform, which everyone doesn't have, and the future movies stay there, not getting a theater release, and no DVD either. And that would be a shme, because Bond movies are meant to be enjoyed in the theaters.
They paid up because that was the only way they were getting a Bond film anytime soon.
Well, What could Nolan have done to not want to give him the final cut? EON wanted control even with Nolan.
Ah, may he rest in peace. 🌹
Nolan would have had to fire his wife as producer (that's her role on all of his films) to make way for Barbara and Michael.
It was never going to happen.
That's the point. That's why Amazon wants them far away.
On a note re NTTD ending, I think they can go by using Fleming own's solution.
Remember, in YOLT, "Bond –in searing pain– heads for the wooden box that controls the volcanic eruptions which he cranks before fleeing the castle which is set to explode, but in the escape, Bond is sent crashing downward into the sea where he is rescued."
(NTTD being largely inspired by YOLT).
That's point one. They will show Bond being blasted away and found floating in the sea. Next in the novel, is the Bourne Identity plot, which I think Amazon will take (so stupid they are). Bond is found to be suffering from severe amnesia. Bond recovers from his wounds, finds a crumpled bit of newspaper with the word “Vladivostok” written on it, and this word jogs his memory. Then Bond sails off for Russia in search of his past.
I'm betting they will also use the never used idea in OHMSS of Bond face being wounded and him having plastic surgery, to justify the new actor.
No, they will keep it simple for the new wave of audiences that don't read anymore. Get ready for a cinematic Moonraker remake....
What, deal Bezos a bad hand?
Just bought that recently. Nice but not much else seemed to have happened. The odd documentary but nothing we hadn’t really seen before.
Interesting
David Heyman has a track record fo success, but mainly in genres aimed at children / teenage / fantasy audiences, and none in the genres that could be interpreted as encompassing James Bond, with the possible exception of "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood".
Amy Pascal has a track record of success in superhero genre and movies featuring women as the central protagonists. In the genres that could be interpreted as encompassing James Bond, she has produced "Molly's Game" and "The Girl In The Spiders Web".
The odds on a female James Bond just shortened?
I don’t think Pascal’s potential hiring will shorten those odds. Amazon have said they’re keeping Bond British and male, and given Pascal’s prior connections with the franchise and Barbara Broccoli* (who reiterated she would do the same), I wouldn’t be shocked if she shares that view with them.
*Pascal was CEO of Sony Pictures when they were co-producing Bond with MGM and EON, leaving the company during the production of Spectre, and multiple sources in the years since have stated she was still on good terms with Barbara Broccoli even after this professional partnership ended.
lol
It's oddly charming.
