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.

Amazon Bond or no new Bond at all?

I’m good with how the franchise ended in the last movie.

I stopped after the first Daniel Craig.

Nothing against him, he’s a great actor. Just didn’t like the direction of the franchise.

The 70’s Roger Moore stuff was campy (which wasn’t the best, but you knew that going in) but at least that had it’s antecedent with Roger Moore playing The Saint in the 1960’s.

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

It’s been around for so long that it affects different generations. I prefer the Daniel Craig ones over the others just because that’s what was entertaining to me at the time even though I’ve watched some of the older ones.

Franchise? Ended? That’s an oxymoron.

As long as it can be milked it will be milked. They’d never end a franchise voluntarily.

They killed Craigs’ Bond, 007 isn’t tied to one person. “Bond will return.”

That never stopped anyone. Prequels, multiverses, crazy unbelievable hat trick escapes…
