The future of James Bond is not at all clear. It was assumed that a search for the actor who will be the new agent 007 after the departure of Daniel Craig of the franchise after 'No Time to Die', but the truth is that the project is much greener than it might seem. In fact, it has now become known that the next film in the franchise has been paralyzed by disagreements between Amazon and the producer Barbara Broccoli.
“Fucking idiots”
According to the Wall Street Journal, from Amazon and MGM They want to marvelize the franchise with spin-offsbut Broccoli is categorically opposed to this. Apparently, the latter has even told close friends that at Amazon they are “some fucking idiots“and the relationship between the company and her is terribly deteriorated.
The problem there is that when Amazon bought MGM, it also acquired the right to release the James Bond films, but creative control belongs to the Broccoli family. Under normal conditions they would be condemned to understand each other and the Broccoli would have more capacity to impose their criteria, but I know that everything has remained in a stalemate from which it will be very difficult to get out.
It didn't help at all when Jennifer Salkethe big boss of MGM and Amazon Studios, described the James saga as content, as it outraged Broccoli. And since then things have not improved, which has put the next James Bond movie in serious danger.
To this we must add the difficulty of finding the right approach for a new James Bond in these times and the need to find the right actor for it. As if that weren't enough, this confrontation between Amazon and Barbara Broccoli has taken everything to the limit and no one wants to give in.
