Produced by just means “paid for by,” anyway.

The problem is when they abruptly cut off funding and sit on the IP indefinitely.

That's what they did to James Bond .

I hate Amazon as much as is humanly possible, thats not what is happening, though.

Denis villaneuve is directing the movie and has stated that he is isnt looking for a new james bond until dune 3 is finished.

Also, fwiw, barb sat on the IP for no good reason. She was probably looking for a buyer, because a new Bond movie should have happened 2.5ish years ago.

Barbara no longer controls the creative IP.

I thought James Bond is special though? The family still gets to approve the script, so the issue is that Amazon wants to milk it with a crap story, and the family says no this isn't good enough.

Negative, barbara broccoli sold the creative rights to Amazon.

[–] greyfox@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah looks like you are right. Appears that they just got control of it in Feb.

Yeah.

Imo it fuckin sucks. We will never again get a media mogul like Eliot Carver ever again.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So Amazon sits on the IP because Bezos doesn't get his way

[–] Velypso@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

This is incorrect.
