The prestige of a James Bond film, as set by founding producers Albert “Cubby” Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, emulated the best practices of moguls like Selznick and Thalberg.
No one at Amazon has that maverick spirit.
When was the last time anyone worked on a production and was truly proud to be there?
If you look at moments of Bond history, you’ll find stories of familial moments like “Cubby” cooking up a massive pasta dinner for everyone on set.
A Bond movie was an event. Now they’re about to be guided by a streaming mentality.
