Independent film director Osgood Perkins Long Rug and monkey When asked if he would create a large sum on a relatively small budget and direct the next James Bond, he had some choice words about Amazon's head Jeff Bezos.
During the Reddit AMA hosted by Indiewire, Perkins said “Fuck Jeff Bezos” when asked if Amazon would direct a Bond film because of control over the franchise.
“Are you accepting to direct a Bond film/trilogy? If so, who do you cast as your version of Bond?” he was asked.
“No, I'm going to fuck Jeff Bezos,” he replied.
It remains unclear whether the comments are politically motivated or whether Perkins is unsure about Amazon. As pointed out Varietyat least one other director, Edward Berger (Everything on the Western Front is quiet, conclave) It was rumored to be in discussions to helm the Bond film, but he publicly said he wouldn't take away his job if he wasn't involved with Broccoli.
“Barbara Broccoli isn't doing that anymore and she's at the heart of this project, so I think it's different,” Berger said. “I don't know. Things have changed. We certainly miss her very much.”
Berger said he was totally interested in directing James Bond films under Broccoli, but “now it's a different equation.”
“I don't know what the future will look like. If anyone calls me, I'll think about it, but Barbara is at the heart of this. If she's not there anymore, it's something else,” he said.
Talk to Daily telegraph Timothy Dalton, the actor who recently played James Bond Living daylight and License to kill“Sad” is known as an acquisition of Amazon.
“It's one of the few great stories we have in British films. The main character is British. The actor said.
Dalton said Barbara Broccoli praised her ability to have a special touch to the Bond franchise and not make it a standard “content.”
“Barbara is one of the best women in the whole world. I think she's great. Around Bond movies, everyone has an opinion. It tends to make something special, but if you keep it to people who know what they're doing and know what they want, it's sharp and good. Barbara had it,” Dalton said.
“I don't know what Amazon will do with that. I don't know what the relationship between Amazon and broccoli will be like. But it's a series of films. I watched it when I was younger, we all did. It was a part of our lives, so anything that threatens it is sad,” he added.
As Breitbart News reported in December, the James Bond franchise was put on hold due to differences of opinion between Amazon and Barbara Broccoli. The former believes that the franchise should include Marvel-style spinoffs. This reportedly called Studio Head “silly fucking” because he found broccoli to be so absurd. She also expressed the question that Amazon, which owns MGM, should be a studio that takes over the franchise, and believed that they kept it “hostages.”
