Why Amazon Controlling James Bond Might be the Best thing ever!

Why Amazon Controlling James Bond Might be the Best thing ever!

Dan and Tom look at the pluses and minuses of Amazon controlling James Bond. Is it the best thing for the franchise? It just may be! On the other hand, what are the roadblocks they may encounter in making this a success? Listen to find out!

We've had a bit of time to digest the news of Eon Productions' selling creative control of the James Bond franchise to Amazon. At the time, we released a fan reaction episode.

But now, producers and directors are being announced, so it is time to reexamine this dramatic change to this 63-year-old powerhouse. Furthermore, might this just be the best thing for the franchise in a long time?

What we will decode in this episode

We look at the following to answer the question: Is Amazon taking complete control of James Bond a good thing or a bad thing?

· Was Eon Productions tired of James Bond?

· The size of the bet for Amazon

· In addition to the initial costs, can Amazon use its industry power to succeed?

· What are our biggest fears about this takeover?

· Should the recent hiring announcements quell our fears?

· In what ways might Amazon expand the franchise?

· Should Amazon expand into TV, spin-offs, and the like?

· The need to get good content fast. Therefore, is there a role for the novels of the James Bond continuation authors here?

· How does Amazon's global reach impact its potential expansion of the franchise?

· Does Amazon's money allow it to expand the quality of what we see in James Bond movies?

· What can Amazon learn from Disney and its purchase of STAR WARS?

· And of course, there is more!

Tell us what you think. Is Amazon controlling James Bond a good thing or a bad thing?

So, these are our thoughts. Are we on track? Additionally, what do you think about expanding into different media?
