Action-Adventure The 26th James Bond Film

[BobJM]

I like the idea of Josh O’Connor as Bond—he could give us old school 007 in a Lazenby/Brosnan sort of way. I’m sure he could manage fine in action scenes too.

Amazon really wanting to piss away one of the few IPs that can bring billions of dollars in revenue so they can do TV shows no one wants to watch.

Kind of like Disney did with Star Wars.

Mando, Andor, and Skeleton Crew showed you don't need the mains to be good.

But I doubt Disney would do something like a James Bond reality game show.

WSJ: Broccoli at war with Amazon

Eon Productions logo Barbara Broccoli, the boss of Eon Productions is essentially at war with Amazon MGM concerning the future of James Bond movies, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday night.…

Amazon : Come on, let us run this franchise into the ground with countless tv spinoffs! It worked for Star Wars, right?

I'm so glad the Broccoli family and EON own half the rights. I'm still shocked they agreed to allow Amazon's gross Road to a Million reality competition series.

If that is the sort of stuff that Amazon wants to do with the rights, it would be best if the franchise just died.

See, the moment anyone likens any potential Bond actor to Lazenby it immediately makes me rule them out lol.

Just bring this back

Broccoli needs to stand her ground on this. James Bond is her family's legacy. Don't let Amazon piss all over it.

Yeah I don’t think they have good instincts with all that spin off, shared universe talke

Jinx could finally get her spinoff.

Or a prequel series for ***** Galore.

Streaming services just want to milk everything, anything, until there's nothing left. I sound like a broken record at this point, but "Star Wars" used to mean something not so long ago. Now is just a dead horse they keep beating.

 

[Silvermoth]

No one wants to see James Bond get milked.

Lily Adler do not respond

If only it were that easy.

I always thought if the Broccoli’s wanted to (or were forced to) expand the franchise beyond Bond, they should introduce Galatea “Gala” Brand, officer of Special Branch—and one of the few unused Ian Flemming original characters left.

“Brand. Gala Brand”

What’s gone wrong with James Bond? No star, no script, no plan

It’s been ten years since Daniel Craig said he was done. Now, its producer Barbara Broccoli has ceded creative control to Amazon. Jonathan Dean investigates how Bond HQ lost the plot

And now for the fun part: who that elusive actor might be. Here’s what we know so far. First, everybody I talk to — agents, actors, analysts — believes we are due a return to a Bond of quips and camp, a shift away from the Shakespearean heft of Craig. More traditional yet easier to sell via memes to Amazon’s younger demographic.

Well the last movie was pretty heavy by Bond standards. I’d lighten the new ones up if it were up to me, too.

 

[C. Lee]

I never saw the sense in killing Bond.

 

[elgaz]

Didn’t really matter in the end anyway. They’ll do a new take on 007 whether that version lived or died, just like how Affleck’s Batman has zero link to Bale’s Batman. They just have felt Craig’s version of the character needed to make that sacrifice.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Maybe the explosion just blew Craig off the island into the water like Tom Hanks in Joe vs. the Volcano

 

[Silvermoth]

It’s interesting they mention selling Bond with memes. I kind of feel like social media is dying at the moment. A lot of people are sick of switching to new platforms just for it to be sold to a billionaire and people have just gotten over it but I suppose a lot can change by the time they make this film

or Liam Neeson in Darkman when he got flung out of his lab when it blew up and he landed in the water nearby

This would play into my "happy TDKR ending" for No Time to Die where Madeleine takes her daughter to a restaurant in Italy and sees Bond there at another table chatting up some other woman.

Would that really be a happy ending though? Because if he was that close to them, there’s a good chance he could kill them.

Not if she kills him first.
