In a huge story today, Amazon shelled out another $1B to take total control of the James Bond franchise. RB was posting about this 2 weeks ago - the franchise was in a log jam - and now Amazon is at the controls. What do you think this means for the 007 franchise? https://deadline.com/2025/02/james-bond-amazon-mgm-studios-deal-1236296104/

I'm looking forward to seeing what Amazon does with the 007 franchise, Sam Sokolow! I think they'll make a new movie and sequels first, then maybe a series. I wouldn't mind spin-off movies and shows either. And a prequel showing how James Bond became 007. I'd definitely watch a Christopher Nolan James Bond movie! I'm not sure what a Quentin Tarantino James Bond movie would look like, but I'd definitely watch that too!

A clear example of the film business not moving forward in a good way. This includes paying 1 billion dollar for the Bond franchise - highly overrated.

Barbara's and Michael's ongoing involvement will ensure Amazon-MGM protects the iconic franchise rather than exploit it. Maybe now, the Young James Bond prequel I wrote: NO TURNING BACK, has a chance of being considered.

Looks like they dangled another $1B in front of Broccoli and Wilson to relinquish control.

Did you all know that James Bond is in the Public Domain? If you produce the film in Canada: Amazon/MGM cannot stop ya and in a couple of years it will be all countries...
