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.

    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).
