    Never say never but Amazon would lose all sorts of product placement opportunities by setting Bond in the past.

    I didn’t know about them doing that, but yeah; it sounds rubbish. Putting Bond back in the 60s just isn’t something I’m interested in. I get the feeling some of these directors think it’s a really unique idea and will make Bond somehow automatically cool, but I bet the Broccolis were a bit sick of people saying they had this really original idea and they should do it in period.

    Period Bond is backwardness. I once looked at the idea as 'great'. But over time, looking at it profoundly, it just doesn't work.

    I agree. There are less creative risks when Bond goes period. Look at Devil May Care as a main example. While Solo and the Anthony Horowitz trilogy worked for the books, it's like spinoffs: it should be left in the literary world of Bond.
