I wouldn't hate that.
Exactly. American here as well from Colorado. A blue state. Whatever that means. And America, as we have known it, is in a death spiral because the majority of us couldn't vote for a mixed-race woman as President. Sheesh. Bond's British nature is at the essential core of the books and the films. And worst case is an American Bond, with American locations and feel. Also, just on streaming and not on the big screen (No Time to Die has been the only movie that I haven't seen on the big screen because I had COVID at the time. Did get to see it in glorious 4k on my mom's large TV). I think that we will get it on the big screen, in Real 3D. There definitely will be some monkeying around on the streaming service including side characters, game shows and who knows what else. Even though the Broccolis sold the movie rights, they still have some creative say. The producers, director, and screenwriter are all amazing choices. Bezos could afford a massive budget (All that I have read says it will be larger than No Time to Die), and with that amount of money they could afford the top technical talent. Music will always be one of the most important aspects and on the Film Score Monthly Message Board there was a lot of venom when discussing Hans Zimmer. I like most aspects of his score for No Time to Die other than the over-reliance on OHMSS. But that was sort of the thing, reversing who gets to die (Spoiler: James Bond dies at the end, though he dies for love and not jsut an act of revenge like in OHMSS.).
It’s more looking at Amazons output as essentially market research. They had Citadel for a few years now, but I think Heads of State and The Assasin (with Keeley Hawes and dripping Bond stuff like it’s a mild NTTD fanfic or parody of the Craig era) there’s a real sense of them trying things out in an adjacent space before applying what they learn to Bond.
But then, they also had Treadstone and Alex Ryder, so they’ve got a decent history with action/espionage stuff. (Think they also do the Jack Ryan and Reacher shows don’t they?)
They’ve got PWB and Cavill already on contract. They can just cast them and let a little improv happen with a script and get a decent film xD

Thank you.
PWB ,just the sort of millennial disney+ woke subversion of bond I don't want to see ,look at dial of destiny.
@morcarvic ... Uhm, PWB was an actor in DoD, not a writer. She was performing a role (and she was about as "woke" as Marion was, who, in the 1981 film Raiders, could drink huge men under the table, and slugged out Indy himself...This is the problem with people who see "woke" everywhere...).
She did excellent writing on NTTD, and is a great screenwriter, so, Uhm, yeah....
It was great, and as Peter says, don’t confuse acting with writing, they’re two different jobs.
"Woke", the angry term people throw at stuff they don't like, without giving a clear definition for it. And did PWB make NTTD "woke" through her writing?
Don’t believe the YT hype.
PWB is not ‘woke’ in the way people seem to get upset over.
If anyone had watched Fleabag, they would know that.
She’s been in a couple of Disney legacy sequels that were bit shite, whilst she was fine in them, and wrote some of NTTD, mainly a dialogue polish (the jokes) and introducing the one bit and one character everyone seems to like (Cuba scenes)
She’s a pretty normal forty something, with a tendency towards racy humour, and pretty good drama chops too.
I have to correct you on PWB's participation on the NTTD script. She was originally brought in for some dialogue polish/humor on all characters, but did quite a good job, and she was brought back and worked on far more of the script, including making the nono-bot technology easier for audiences to grasp.
PWB got a credit for screenwriting NTTD (meaning she wasn't a script doctor), and that means, according to the WGA, she was recognized for *at least* 33% of the work.
