The biggest obstacle for this new, joint venture will be in making James Bond feel like James Bond while appealing to younger audiences. This doesn't mean the films have to be everything to everyone, but this does mean that Bond will need to enter t…

There’s pros, cons, and a whole lot of questions. The cons are obvious: spin-offs, over saturation and debatable, if not controversial, creative choices. The pros aren’t so obvious but they’re there: wider market reach with new consumer products lik…

It’s sounds like a sticking point between EON and Amazon may be the actual selection of an actor to play James Bond. More specifically, how an actor is chosen. Amazon relies on analytics and algorithms to make market decisions. Barbara trusts her gu…

While I completely believe the reporting, I wonder whether the impasse between EON and Amazon is still accurate. Entertainment reporting, like this, isn’t always up-to-date. The review process from pitch to publication can take up to two weeks. Mayb…

Of course, this impasse between EON and Amazon is about control. But I don’t think this is simply about controlling the Bond franchise. EON, Barbara in particular, understands the ramifications for the entire industry if Big Tech is allowed to run r…

Is it plausible, possible or preferable to cast an actor as Bond and hire a director to develop the next movie from script to screen? Instead of enticing a director and actor with a developed screenplay/treatment that needs retooled, the creative…
