The ink could hardly dry the contract between Amazon MGM and Eon Productions, a legendary bond film company run by Barbara Brocoli and Michael G Wilson, before that. Amazon Jeff Bezos CEO of social media This has gone to the heart of the puzzle that one of the most profitable cinema concessions faced: “Who is the next association choose?”
The reality behind the broccoli and Wilson decision to abandon the control of Amazon, the company that has since 2021 was responsible for producing common bond films after the purchase of MGM, that since it became clear that Daniel Craig wanted to leave this role it was shocked by a kind of creative paralysis. We are increasingly used to the long gaps between their release, but with no new actor on the horizon, Bond 26 did not reach the starting portal. Eon kept the pursuit of a new bond behind the completely closed doors, such as a type of state secret, but the first Bezos verb is to dump the open gates, with Elon Musk-Squee’s action of the use of a semi-injustice. It may just be a gesture that embodies public relations, but it shows that Amazon plans to do things differently from now on.
Focus, understanding, is how Amazon can develop concession. The Eon method was the brand protection such as hawks, all its efforts in one huge movie, and rejected all display suggestions and adaptations, and it succeeded: Each Bond movie was a box office giant, which means that the 60 -year -old spy films series is still greater From Batman, Lord of the Rings or X-Men. (It was the only time that broccoli and Wilson were independent of the pressures of a television show of the challenge that was received badly 007: the road to a million, which was supposed to have been removed enough of the basic purpose that this was not truly able to dilute) The separate independent films and films. (Moneypenny: The Opary Seends and the like), And broadcast shows (Rosa Klebb adventures in place/time, with any luck) to expand the scope of stories.
Of course, choosing a new bond is vital, and from which the Amazon settles will determine the nature of the following. It seems that Eun, to strangers, has signed between keeping the traditional audience alongside them by choosing a person who is not different from the former job occupants (i.e. the British, white, male, in the early middle of life) and following his liberal instincts by installing a representative outside this demographic (way Demographic (that took a temporary step to give Lashana Lynch the role of 007 at any time for death). Idris Elba for years as a possible alternative, but, as the actor himself said in the past, the explicit truth is that in 52 years, he is likely to be old. Book options More traditional: James Norton from Habi Valley, Aaron Taylor Johnson (donkey kick, hunter kip, nightmare, etc.), and Babygirl from Harris Dickenson. Will Bezos go to the gradual path? In the current political climate, it has become – frankly – less likely.
However, the first matter of the Amazon’s work is not delivered. He will have to appoint an executive official (or team) to oversee the concession. (The experience has shown that even the largest films need focused personal heads to run things, La Kevin Feige in Marvel, Kathleen Kennedy in Star Wars, James Gunn and Peter Safran for the capital). Other independent giants Netflix and Apple, are to break the popular films, which, despite all its skill in offering products, has never been managed – on a sharp contradiction with the invasion of the current from advanced TV. All the time, the established Hollywood Studios, led by Disney Warner Bruce, used the ingenuity of film making filmmaking in the basic business of the stitches, using their detailed players (Disney+ and Max, respectively). Buying IP is expensive, as Disney did with Star Wars and Marvel, as Netflix did with Narnia and Amazon itself with Tolkien, is the main weapon.
How to finance bond movies will also change. Eon was the master of the brand partnership, which accumulated huge amounts of production financing: emails that were leaked revealed that Heineken paid 28 million pounds to participate in Skyfall; On the other hand, they obtained Craig for a huge global advertising campaign. With the least need to focus on individual film funds, Amazon may feel less binding on the brand -prepared aesthetic, and you may feel less inclined to photograph the good -looking initiative with a beer box. But it remains to see to what extent Amazon will go to develop Bond as a “world”; Eon made her initial attempts to create a group of potential wicked wicked in Specter, but he seemed to back down to Bond’s personal narration at any time to die. However, there is a limited amount of original bond materials that must be extracted, and this point appears to have been reached several films, with Quantum of Solace, the latest address taken from the Faling story. (It seems that all practical possibilities have been exhausted; it is likely that we will not see films called Hildbrand or Richo.)
The timing of the deal means that the broccoli and Winson chose to go because the series is at a crossroads; The decisions taken now will affect this for years. After the half -brother and brother team supervised the Bond sponsors since 1995, he supervised two main transformations (to Berus Bruzanan, then Craig) and can look back with complete consent. The Keys of the Kingdom of Bond is now completely in the hands of the Amazon.
