Amazon’s acquisition of full creative control over the James Bond franchise has sparked both excitement and trepidation among fans. In a recent interview, CEO Andy jassy addressed concerns about the future of 007, assuring audiences that while amazon is committed to the franchise, they are approaching it with care and respect.
Jassy’s Vision: Tradition Meets Innovation
During a TV interview on Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2025, primarily focused on Amazon’s new AI features for Alexa, Jassy was questioned about the James bond franchise. He emphasized the human element, stating, “First of all, I don’t believe that AI is going to write a Bond movie any time soon.” This statement served to alleviate anxieties about the franchise losing its artistic integrity in the age of artificial intelligence.
Jassy added that Amazon execs are “incredibly honored to have the ability to help shepherd the Bond franchise for the next generation. And we have amazing filmmakers that we have hired over time at MGM Amazon Studios.”
The Amazon-Bond Deal: A New Era Begins
The acquisition follows Amazon’s purchase of MGM in 2022, culminating in a “stunning deal” with longtime Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and barbara Broccoli. This agreement hands Amazon complete creative control over the iconic British super-spy and his future adventures.
The deal has caused some “lamentations” about the end of an era, but Jassy’s remarks suggest a balanced approach, one that respects the history of Bond while exploring new creative avenues.
Future of Bond: What’s Next?
The last Bond film,No Time to Die,was released in the fall of 2021. The storyline saw Bond’s death, marking a potential turning point for the franchise.While Wilson and Broccoli maintained a conservative approach, resisting spinoffs and prioritizing theatrical releases, Amazon’s vision remains to be seen.
According to Jassy, “We don’t have a plan yet on what the next theme is going to be… We haven’t – nobody’s written the story yet.But we will take great care. It’s an amazing franchise that we care a lot about and that we expect to develop over a long period of time.” This statement highlights Amazon’s acknowledgment of the franchise’s importance and its commitment to its long-term growth.
The AI Angle: A Strategic Diversion?
The Bond question arose during a conversation primarily about AI. CNBC anchor Jon Fortt framed the question by noting AI’s current limitations in crafting “high-end entertainment,” setting the stage for Jassy’s assurance regarding human creativity in the Bond films.
Even though the focus was primarily on AI, Jassy understood the importance of addressing concerns about the future of a beloved franchise. His response sought to reassure fans and industry professionals that Amazon plans to shepherd the franchise responsibly.
The Bottom Line: What this means for you, the fans
Amazon’s stewardship of the Bond franchise promises a blend of tradition and innovation.
