Amazon takes over Bond franchise

[Ralif Redhammer]

The only time that I think the Bond actor seemed too old were the last couple movies of Roger Moore when he was in his mid-to-late 50s,

Roger Moore would agree:

"Of course, I was getting long in the tooth. I was 58 when I finished. My god, Gary Cooper was seemingly an old man when he was about 56 doing Love in the Afternoon with Audrey Hepburn. And I started to realize. When the leading ladies came in and they were younger than my daughter, I thought "Hmm, this is getting on a bit." And then... God, I could have had them as granddaughters. It becomes rather disgusting - dirty old man."

Roger Moore still remains my favorite Bond, even in A View to A Kill and Octopussy. My hope for the next Bond is that they move away from the brooding Bond of Daniel Craig and go back to a suave, quippy Bond.

Well that's in addition to the $8B or so to originally get the distribution rights via the MGM acquisition.

Well, on the one hand, Amazon saved The Expanse. And on the other, we have Rings of Power.

So, Mr. Bond, how would you like to die?
