Future James Bond films have been reportedly stalled due to disagreements between Amazon Studios and franchise producer Barbara Broccoli.

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.

    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.
