Divorces (generally) do not occur overnight, and the one who recently dropped Between Amazon MGM Studios and the longtime producer of James Bond Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson Brewing for a long time now. The Super-SPY franchise has always remained under the control of the broccoli family, which made it so shocking that the two co-chefs would give creative control, essentially, the CEO of Amazon Jeff Bezos. In the next day, the industry as a whole had trouble looking at exactly what happened between the two parties and why the guardians of the property for life would suddenly move from their family inheritance. Fortunately, a new report this morning could greatly contribute to the light on this subject.

The Hollywood Reporter has published a complete and complete look at Amazon’s hostile control of the franchise (with works of art comparing the famous Balle Bond Super-Villain Blofeld, fairly hilarious). In the midst of all juicy gossip and used stories of Amazon’s plans for Bond after having first absorbed MGM studios in 2022 (Like the locations for a series of streaming centered on pensions, a spin-off program on the character of the CIA agent, Felix Leiter, played by Jeffrey Wright in the films of Daniel Craig, and even a sort of project involving a woman 007), the article identifies the precise breakdown that finally sealed the fate of the Bond property.

Remember that Drama behind the scenes between Broccoli and Amazon We previously reported in December of last year? You know, the one where the head of Amazon Studios Jennifer Salke organized a meeting to discuss the future of Bond, failed to impress broccoli (Salke apparently did not help by qualifying the franchise “content”, and inadvertently led the broccoli to reject the combinations of Amazon as “F *** ING IdiTS”? Bezos, Thr declares that, according to a source, “”[Bezos] read [Barbara Broccoli’s] cite [the Wall Street Journal] And I’m on the phone and said, “I don’t care what it costs, get rid of her. billions of dollars To make the broccoli give in creative control over Amazon and retire.

James Bond has always been an ingenious character who depends on movements and counter-modes to do the work, in one way or another … But he may finally meet his match with the dad of all the conglomerates. While smoke continues to have fun The Broccoli family takes the future of Bond in the uncertain hands of AmazonThe rest of us are allowed to speculate on the reasons why this amazing development has happened as they did and where it leaves the state of the franchise now.

To respond to this first part, THR strengthens the popular story that Michael G. Wilson’s retirement, the half-brother of Barbara Broccoli and his colleague Bond Steward, had a lot to do with his decision to take a step back. While Broccoli greatly supervised the creative narration behind each film after the death of his father Albert “Cubby” Broccoli, Wilson tended to stay in his way as a business manager and the production guru. Together, the two were able to manage the often exhausting nature of each Bond shoot. Wilson recently announcing his decision to retire, the Broccoli’s reflection process has changed considerably. According to THR:

Wilson’s departure would have been an important factor in the ultimate broccoli decision to move away from the franchise. After 30 years of Bond movies, she no longer had a stomach or endurance for endless studio battles or links of links that for years, certainly not alone. And there was no obvious successor – not even Wilson’s son, Greg, who worked on recent films, but who, say the initiates, was not considered ready to enter the place of his father.

So, with Broccoli and Wilson both out of the image, where does that leave us with the next Bond film? Well, more or less exactly where we have been for four years since “no time to die” marked the end of Craig’s mandate. There is no script, actor or director officially in place to lead James Bond in a new courageous world entirely under the aim of Amazon … And that should not change until a new creative chief (or two) is specifically installed to pass the Bond franchise. For the moment, stay listening to / film when we stay in a model of detention until things are concentrated.
