Future James Bond films have been reportedly stalled due to disagreements between Amazon Studios and franchise producer Barbara Broccoli.

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.

    There’s a post above this that says Roger Moore quit because the new Bond girl was too young and he was uncomfortable with that.

    I’d say it’s unfair to call him a fucking creep. Calling his character a creep would be the right way to put it.

      Idk if I’d believe that, but take a look at his Wikipedia political views. The guy was a total dick. He believed that Britain shouldn’t be in the EU currency because of his love for the queen, and he criticized the new films for being too politically correct. Link

        Interesting. I’d still call him an out of touch dick not a creep.

        Bah I can’t pay my taxes, it will kill my retirement fund he said. Then moved to his four other homes in four different countries.
