Indeed. The next Bond will have his fans. Perhaps even be regarded as one of the best in the right circumstances for a majority. It's the beauty of the franchise. Every Bond is someone's favourite, and there are so few of them anyway. They're also so different but the same.
Because it’s not MGM who’s in control; it’s Amazon. It’s not MGM who would make that decision to sell; it’s Amazon. Yeah selling Bond would entail losing out on the money made from streaming and merchandise, but Amazon is worth $2.37 Trillion Dollars and the company continues to grow each day. Do you honestly think they’ll lose sleep over potentially losing Bond? Bond is child’s money to them and I’m sure they know it. They could hardly care less I feel.
I have to agree with you here @mtm
Amazon may be the wealthiest company in the world, with trillions of dollars.
But Bond is a massive deal. In cinematic history it's a legendary franchise. Still going after over 60 years. It's a not a matter of money.
Amazon don't need to sell their share; it owns a 50% stake in the James Bond franchise.
"Wilson, her stepbrother, has complained to friends that he couldn’t land a meeting with anyone at Amazon above an “L6,” the internal designation for a senior role that is nonetheless six rungs below Chief Executive Andy Jassy, an L12."
I mean, c'mon! They just got an honorary Oscar last month.
Classic tech company nonsense. They think they can bypass the norms and traditions of legacy industries. Relationships are everything in this space.
If they’re worth so much why would they sell? It’s not like they need a quick hit of money, best to keep a more lucrative asset.
‘Not caring’ isn’t a reason to sell.
I'm a little ashamed to admit it, but there is an official Easy Rider sequel, as someone managed to snag the rights to the name and to produce Easy Rider: The Ride Back, with a pro-military message.

Also, I admit, without any shame, that I love most of the low-budget movies that the majors produced in the wake of Easy Rider, and I prefer them to the original: Two-Lane Blacktop, Electra Glide in Blue, Vanishing Point…
"Femmes, I will remind you, this is a deal a la mort. Only one of you can hold the creative rights to Bond. If a contract rescission is necessary, as your judge, I will administer it myself. I do not expect tv shows, only a feature film. On my command each party will propose ten ideas. Are you ready, Madam Broccoli?"
Just to be clear, this is the same guy that’s hated every film made since and including CASINO ROYALE.
Otherwise Amazon would use their algorithms to factor the optimum time to release the next Bond film.
8.5 billion dollars in the pot!
Maybe it doesn't work this way, but regardless this is the way its worked out if that makes sense? ;)
@MakeshiftPython i mean it is his opinion but it's definitely not out of the question that it could be* right i just thought it was interesting to share as a perspective. The problem with EON being so secretive always is there is a void of transparency of what is really going on. So naturally things will fill the void if that void isn't filled well you can speculate about anything. I guess to people who know how the industry works this is probably nothing new to people who don't it's foreign.
Its funny. Dalton wanted to come back for Goldeneye and be done after that but Cubby said he had to sign on to more to keep the momentum going. Craigs last film was 6 years after his one before and he didn't have to sign on to more. lol

As he was just attached as a consultant, it wouldn't trigger the terms of the contract with MGM, that apply when they pick for instance the director, getting EON and MGM tied for good on the development of the project, with a first payment. Once the financial situation at MGM was addressed, Mendes was then confirmed as the director, which was the plan all along.
A similar thing happened between 1989 and 1993. If development on the third Dalton movie had progressed at the regular pace and reached some milestone, EON would have had to deal with Giancarlo Parretti's MGM as an associate.
Yes, there's really nothing for them to say prior to an official pre-production. It doesn't mean they haven't done anything at all (nor is it any indication they've completely mapped this film out or are even touching it at the current time).
Yep like the video said nothing new
What’s with that thumbnail? What does Brosnan have anything to do with the current predicament?
Triggered?
Yeah, the Craig image suggests it's from the same old right wing grift merchants who pretend they are afraid of trans people etc. Not clicking on that to give them any money.
That doesn’t answer my question.
