Film opinion: Dear Amazon, don’t fall into the franchise trap with James Bond

News broke Thursday that Amazon has taken over creative control of the James Bond franchise from long-serving custodians Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

The announcement comes amid a period of stagnation for Bond with the last entry, No Time to Die, coming out in theatres in 2021.

Film News Blitz’s David Bason hopes Amazon doesn’t fall into a franchise trap with Britain’s most famous secret agent.
