Amazon boss on what it’s going to do with James Bond: “We don’t have a plan yet”

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy says that “no person’s written the story” for no matter will occur to Britain’s iconic tremendous spy now that the corporate controls the character outright

After the shock information that Amazon MGM is solely answerable for the James Bond franchise, many have puzzled simply what the company big was planning for fiction’s best undercover agent. The corporate has lastly damaged its silence to reveal… that it’s really questioning just about precisely the identical factor.

Deadline notes that, in accordance to a transcript of an upcoming CNBC interview, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy stated in response to a query in regards to the firm’s plans for James Bond, “We don’t have a plan but on what the following theme is going to be. We haven’t — no person’s written the story but.”

Jassy did add that Amazon is going to “take nice care” of the Bond sequence shifting ahead. “It’s a tremendous franchise that we care a lot about and that we anticipate to develop over a lengthy time frame.”

On the one hand, it’s not too shocking that Amazon isn’t wanting to break any large announcement in the midst of a new interview about one other subject altogether — the interview was really about additional AI features being added to virtual assistant Alexa; Jassy even joked, “I don’t imagine that AI is going to write a Bond film any time quickly” within the interview — however on the opposite, am I the one one that is stunned that the reply was fairly so trustworthy about no plan being in place? Certain, it’s solely been a week because the announcement was made that Amazon had taken over the property, however they haven’t been planning for this for awhile already? Actually?

A lot for rumors about Amazon having their alternative for Daniel Craig already lined up and a new film instantly prepared to go into pre-production. Possibly we must always ask Alexa what she thinks about all of it; I’ve heard she’s obtained some new options that may assist her reply.
