After giving the new owner of the James Bond rights, Jeff Bezos, her middle gold finger - by reportedly calling his executives 'f**kin idiots' - Barbara Broccoli managed to get Bezos to pay $1 billion (according to an insider quoted by Hollywood Reporter) for the creative control of the franchise after he was infuriated by her comment and reportedly said:
I don’t care what it costs, get rid of her.
Bezos is quite the Bond villain and not far off Blofeld in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Next he'll be getting his own coat of arms and buying the Shilthorn.
So it looks like Broccoli managed to get top-dollar for her tired franchise about the British master-spy.
Sure the Bond franchise may go on to make billions more at the world box office, once it gets 'marvelised', but the steam has gone out of Bond after he abandoned his mysognistic, sado-masochism in favour of wokery-pokery and corny cliches.
Bezos asked fans to suggest the next Bond so FNN suggests either Ye or Tristan Tate but not Dylan Mulvaney.
