They changed out the scheming intelligence bosses and underdeveloped rival assassins, but that's about it.As for Bond, I have no faith in Amazon making any compelling story choices for the character. The only promising news is the involvement of Denis Villeneuve, who might be able to bring a strong enough vision block any corporate meddling. He also knows drama and spectacle so it will likely been directed well. But from a story perspective, with Bond being killed off in the last Craig movie, you're looking at a total reboot completely unconnected from the previous movies. It's a hard narrative break unlike anything they had to contend with previously.Can they find a place in the modern world for Bond? Can they put him in a story that seems new and relevant? I have my doubts.Honestly, I'd rather get the next Bourne or Bond rather than another Bourne or Bond, but I am sadly not in the position to greenlight any films. Though after watching Seth Rogen in The Studio I don't think I want to be a studio head, so it's all for the best.</blockquote>
