Picture this: James Bond is running down a busy road in a foreign country. He appears tired from all the spinoffs he’s been appearing in, but he’s contractually obliged to star in the blockbusters too, so here he is. He looks down the street and one-shots the villain. He pours a beer. He winks. It’s John Krasinski.
In case you missed it, the Bond franchise will be back on our screens, just not in a good way. No new films for us, no; just the news that the Broccoli family and Amazon have finally agreed to resolve the drawn-out spat they’ve been having over the franchise’s future for years – by ceding complete creative control of it to Amazon.
