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.

    Broccoli’s father produced the original Sean Connery classics, and she grew up with the franchise.

    The bosses at Amazon only got control because of a deal they made where the franchise was part of a much bigger package.

    Of course they aren’t going to listen to the woman.

    This is why “enshitification” is the word of the decade.

        B] it’s a misuse of the word ‘enshitification.’
