I really don't want Amazon to make tv series about secondary characters. Characters who are often killers and psychopaths. They'd have to win in any series, you can't suddenly turn them into nice folk who are defeated by some random new character.
As for earning his 00 status, that was covered in Casino Royale, so been there done that. A film which was the beginnings of the character as 007, License to Kill.
Besides Bond is dead. Finished.  |
Some of the recent delays have been to do with rewrites injuries on set, stunt problems, and long post production, plus the stories about whether whoever was playing could be convinced to do another film.
I don't particularly want TV shows either, but if they help finance feature films and keep interest in the characters and mind storylines going, then I'll happily watch them.
Regarding the Casino Royale opening sequence, I was thinking a bit before then and a film, like x-Men: First Class, Cruella, and Monsters University, and Wonka - a film set in the 1950s between World War II and Dr No in 1962, showing the end of Bond's military career recruitment to SIS, and getting to the point where he is the among the elite and needs a test to prove he's worthy of a license to kill and 00 status.
