The recent acquisition of the James Bond franchise by Amazon for over $1 billion has caused a stir among fans and industry experts alike. Many express fears that this could alter the core identity of the beloved character, with critiques leaning towards the risk of a formulaic approach akin to the Marvel cinematic universe. Fans are particularly worried about the future of Bond films on streaming platforms versus the traditional theater experience, which they believe is integral to the franchise's magic and legacy of real-action scenes.
If we think about the Marvel cinematic universe, you watch those films and then I don't know about you, but I can't remember anything about them the following day and nothing sticks in my memory.
I hope they don't consider a lengthy TV series because I don't think James Bond should be on TV as a series or as episodes.
The handover of creative control to Amazon threatens what he sees as the most important legacy of the franchise - the real-life action scenes.
You need to have the experience of sitting in that audience with 100 to 200 people in the cinema. You can't do a world premiere on a streaming platform.
