I hate Amazon as much as is humanly possible, thats not what is happening, though.
Denis villaneuve is directing the movie and has stated that he is isnt looking for a new james bond until dune 3 is finished.
Also, fwiw, barb sat on the IP for no good reason. She was probably looking for a buyer, because a new Bond movie should have happened 2.5ish years ago.
I thought James Bond is special though? The family still gets to approve the script, so the issue is that Amazon wants to milk it with a crap story, and the family says no this isn’t good enough.
The problem is when they abruptly cut off funding and sit on the IP indefinitely.
That’s what they did to James Bond .

Barbara no longer controls the creative IP.

Negative, barbara broccoli sold the creative rights to Amazon.
Yeah looks like you are right. Appears that they just got control of it in Feb.
Yeah.
Imo it fuckin sucks. We will never again get a media mogul like Eliot Carver ever again.
So Amazon sits on the IP because Bezos doesn’t get his way
This is incorrect.
