Jungle Bond

Amazon now owns Bond:
The James Bond film franchise, a British institution, is now creatively “under threat of woke Amazon executives with zero Hollywood experience”, according to an insider. Yesterday, Hollywood was struck with the bombshell news that EON Productions made a new deal where their creative control of the James Bond film franchise now goes to Amazon MGM Studios. For over 60 years, the British-American Broccoli family has maintained a non-compromising oversight over the much-cherished 007 movies, which they treated like a luxury brand. Following rumours of internal clashes over the future of the next Bond, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson are getting out. However, they will still receive credit and a cut of 007 going forward. The casting, script, director, and everything else for the reboot are now in the hands of Jeff Bezos’s mammoth company, which purchased MGM Studios for $8.5 billion a couple of years ago.
No more deals, Mr. Bond...
