James Bond Producer Slams Amazon As 'F**king Idiots': Report
HuffPost
Barbara Broccoli is said to be feuding with the company over the future of the superspy and how to maximize the character's potential.
Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service has apparently dreamed about maximizing the intellectual property of fictional superspy James Bond ever since the company closed a deal to buy Hollywood studio MGM back in May 2022.
But there have no been no new movies, or even a new actor to play 007, since the 2021 release of “No Time To Die,” which marked Daniel Craig’s last leading role in the film series.
And it looks like no releases are on the horizon, thanks to what The Wall Street Journal says is a big feud between franchise owner Amazon and producer Barbara Broccoli, who shares creative control with half-brother Michael Wilson after inheriting it from father Albert R. Broccoli.
According to a Thursday story in the Journal, sources close to Barbara Broccoli say that she doesn’t think Amazon is a good fit for Bond. The outlet wrote that she “can hold Bond hostage from Amazon for as long as she sees fit,” and quotes a line from her dad in justification: “Don’t have temporary people make permanent decisions.”
At other times, she has used her own words, referring to people at Amazon as “fucking idiots,” according to the Journal (which printed a censored version of her remarks).
