I hope their profits are Gone With The Wind....................
The name’s Bezos......Jeff Bezos
MGM has been a struggling company for years. 007 has been their only real asset.
Isn’t James Bond owned by the Ian Flemming estate?
OMG!!!! They own Rocky and not Bullwinkle?????
Bezos: “Alexa, buy James Bond movies.”
Amazon bought Rocky without also picking up Bullwinkle? How stupid! No wonder they can’t compete with Elon on space flight.🤗
Now we can look forward to a trans-female lesbian person of color as the next Bond. Heshe will want hisher martini both shaken and stirred. The villain will certainly be a Trump supporter, and a homophobe. Not much else.
America is becoming 1984 and Idiocracy.
Isn’t 007 going to become a black female?
Sorry, no thanks.
Create your own “heros/characters” quit appropriating what came before you.
Will the MGM lion be tamed? I’d think the beta males, SIMPS and their women would find it to be too aggressive.
Wasn’t there a book, or a movie, that came out years ago predicting that the U.S. will become a completely fascist totalitarian country controlled not by the government, but by corporations?

From Wikipedia:
Ian Lancaster Fleming (28 May 1908 – 12 August 1964) was a British writer, journalist and naval intelligence officer who is best known for his James Bond series of spy novels. Fleming came from a wealthy family connected to the merchant bank Robert Fleming & Co....Educated at Eton, Sandhurst and, briefly, the universities of Munich and Geneva, Fleming moved through several jobs before he started writing.
While working for Britain’s Naval Intelligence Division during the Second World War, Fleming was involved in planning Operation Goldeneye and in the planning and oversight of two intelligence units, 30 Assault Unit and T-Force. His wartime service and his career as a journalist provided much of the background, detail and depth of the James Bond novels.
Fleming wrote his first Bond novel, Casino Royale, in 1952. It was a success, with three print runs being commissioned to cope with the demand. Eleven Bond novels and two collections of short stories followed between 1953 and 1966. The novels revolve around James Bond, an officer in the Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6. Bond is also known by his code number, 007, and was a commander in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve. The Bond stories rank among the best-selling series of fictional books of all time, having sold over 100 million copies worldwide. Fleming also wrote the children’s story Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang.

Fleming took the name for his character from that of the American ornithologist James Bond, an expert on Caribbean birds and author of the definitive field guide Birds of the West Indies. Fleming, himself a keen birdwatcher, had a copy of Bond’s guide, and later told the ornithologist’s wife, “that this brief, unromantic, Anglo-Saxon and yet very masculine name was just what I needed.
When your competition is Netflix Studios, you have to go big.
MGM was once the epitome of American values. They had morals clauses in all their contracts. Now Bezos is taking over and it’s all going to be filth.
Doesn’t his ex-wife MacKenzie have some say as to that side of the business in the divorce agreement? I thought I read somewhere that she did, maybe I’m wrong.
