Bezos will screw up the most sucessful franchise in the history of cinema. I am really suprised that Barbara Broccoli gave up complete control. My sense is that as soon as the next Bond film is complete, Broccoli will walk away entirely.
I'm guessing they will use AI to cast Trump as 007 and the bad guy will be a scientist who is trying to destroy America by replacing oil, gas and coal with solar, wind and geothermal energy.
Corporatism owning a spy movie franchise where the protagonist continually destroys local communities in order to avenge a lover taken by a megalomaniac who was wronged by said agent and is trying to solve climate change but not the way the spy wants is…the most fitting
“Think of it… Your favorite president (ME) as your next James Bond. Double - oh- 47. Straight out of central casting! Do it for the people Bezos. It would be very unfair to cast anyone but the greatest hero of our time (ME) and the women will go crazy for it, that I can tell you…”
If the stories are ripped from todays headlines - Goldfinger wins? Before all that -let’s all sky point & raise a pint for Mr. Ian Fleming and his 10BILLION $ franchise.
Welp, no more Bond for me as long as it's attached to Bezos' Amazon.

Don't buy or sell with any of them.
We don't need them, but they need us.
Some of the worst 1%'ers out there and I won't give them any more money.
How does every single one of these articles not mention the obvious? That so many people here have said, a Bond villain is now in charge of the Bond franchise.
Well there goes the neighborhood. Amazon, like Disney, will fuck that franchise's chicken until it's pulp on the pavement. I can't wait for "James Bonds' Clues", where an animated 007 pairs up with New Steve to find the bad guys.
Like I will happily ignore any and all attempts at making shitty Bond extended universe crap without a word of protest so long as I can watch all of the Connery and Moore movies on a whim without having to rent them
Barbara and Michael are a very hard act to follow.
But please remember Amazon that Bond is a misogynist white British guy who drinks too much, always has a pithy comeback but never fails King and Country. “For England James”.
Bond is dead, they killed him. 007 may be "just a number" but James is no more. Problem is, up until the last two tries, Bond absolutely is 007. And really, fuck Bezos and Amazon anyway. That's a franchise better left dead.

Jeff Bezos fits both of those description and everything he did to appease Trump, including straight up murdering the Washington Post.

His Lord of the Rings prequel is bleh, especially when I had to watch commercials during the first three episodes.
I can only imagine what they will do to 007 with commercial breaks.
OO7 died. I saw him die. That is that.
I’d hoped it would stay in the hands of some of the best creatives in Hollywood and the UK who know the genre and respect its history.
My expectations are low and I don’t feel good about putting money in the pockets of someone who sucks up to a white nationalist, fascist regime.

Publicly.
Everything.
Bond will be the bad guy.
I’m also thinking that the Nationalist Public Radio group should also go elsewhere.

It’s not Yellowstone with a Walther PPK.
James Bond peaked with Roger Moore. ‘For Your Eyes Only’ among his classics …
Put creative decisions back in the hands of creators, not company executives.
Amazon is the villain.
Studio producers are known to interfere in the creative process.

They clearly lost.
Not a good sign for the franchise at all.
Well, chuff me!
