The report outlined that the fallout is due to differences over the creative direction of the franchise, with Amazon reportedly in favour of “Marvel-style” ideas to expand the franchise, such as spinoff shows and films.
No, for fucks sake. No!
Broccoli is reported to have baulked at the pitch, telling friends that Amazon are “fucking idiots” who are taking the franchise “hostage”. She has reportedly expressed her disinterest in continuing to work with Amazon for any Bond films. NME has reached out to Amazon MGM Studios for comment.
“Fucking idiots” indeed. And too predictable, to be honest.
I stopped after the first Daniel Craig.
Nothing against him, he’s a great actor. Just didn’t like the direction of the franchise.
The 70’s Roger Moore stuff was campy (which wasn’t the best, but you knew that going in) but at least that had it’s antecedent with Roger Moore playing The Saint in the 1960’s.
It’s been around for so long that it affects different generations. I prefer the Daniel Craig ones over the others just because that’s what was entertaining to me at the time even though I’ve watched some of the older ones.
Absolutely, and it reflects the audience it’s targeting.
Which is why Roger Moore’s is clearly if it’s time (which even then I thought was pretty bad, but it was entertaining).
I just don’t find melodrama to be entertaining, and the new Bond is all melodrama. Just like some old movies I don’t watch because the melodramatic score cheapens the actual drama.
This is a problem with a lot of movie and TV today, this hand-holding of the audience. It’s patronizing, and boring.
You preferred the way it was going with Pierce Brosnan? I suppose you didn’t like the direction Christopher Nolan took Batman either, should have left it with Schumacher lololol
Definitely preferred Pierce, a significant improvement over the absolute camp of Roger Moore (which was a product of its time).
I do understand the reasoning for the direction with Craig, at least that relied on why Bond was the way he was (as described in Her Majesty’s Secret Service).
And I consider it unfortunate that most viewers didn’t know this about Bond in the earlier movies.
Never watched any Batman, they all looked like cheap crap.
Lololol, if you like Brosnan’s Bond, you’ll love all the pre-2000s Batman movies. You really can’t get cheaper or crappier than the 90s/early 00s Bond movies, legitimately some of the worst-written movies I’ve ever seen (and not just Bond movies).
90’s were a hell of a drug.
