This is really sad. I've been working my way thru the Bond films using the 50th Anniversary box set.

Making Bond wasn't just a job for most of the Eon people, it was their legacy.  They pushed the envelope in some way in almost every film and they were incredibly proud of their work.  Now its just a cash grab.  Heartbreaking.  :(

Amazon MGM Studios will gain creative control of the James Bond franchise [JB26] in a new joint venture with Michael G. Wilson and Barbara B Antibody Feb 20, 06:12

Get ready for multiple spinoffs. {nm} Antibody Feb 20, 06:12

Also streaming series, that was what they were blocking Amazon from doing besides that reality series {nm} notfabio Feb 20, 06:38

And Harry Styles is totally gonna be Bond. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 20, 07:07

That late night Amazon MGM Cinemacon panel is 100% going to have a Bond promo of some kind now {nm} notfabio Feb 20, 06:31

Expect a night drone or other viral stunt outside that night {nm} notfabio Feb 20, 06:32

Some studio really should be hiring you as their head of marketing :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 20, 06:49

Bring out Christopher Nolan. nm Antibody Feb 20, 06:58

There's no way this will happen with Amazon in control. Now, Harry Styles as Bond, that's a possibility. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 20, 07:49

Not a hope if BB retains any influence re casting, and I think it unlikely she won't. She wouldn't let Bond be self mutilating with tats. {nm} ladybegood Feb 20, 12:58

I could see an updated retelling of Moonraker with Amazon holding the reigns. {nm} tatoufan Feb 20, 06:49

The original Moonraker novel, written in 1955, is pretty good. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 20, 07:50

They could also "go there" and have multiple Bonds at the same time or even in the same movie (CGI Connery) {nm} notfabio Feb 20, 08:17

Also, they might be able to lure back Pierce Brosnan "Old Bond" [Connery was supposed to be the Skyfall Caretaker] {nm} notfabio Feb 20, 08:19

Antibody, I think you should delete all of notfabio's bad ideas :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Feb 20, 09:13

I agree! :) {nm} notfabio Feb 20, 10:31

Are we talking time travel or a Bond Multiverse? {nm} Abraxas Feb 20, 09:47

like the non-Eon Casino Royale. nm Antibody Feb 20, 09:53

Wow. Ok. So: this really feels like the end of actually caring about this series anymore. First Bond {nm} goodvibe61 Feb 20, 11:42

First Bond's killed off; now this. I can only imagine how this is going to go. What a colossal drag. {nm} goodvibe61 Feb 20, 11:43

Deadline - Cost to cut them out was around a billion, Barbara Broccoli got "tired of fighting" Moviesnob Feb 20, 12:53
