Fans of the James Bond series met with ‘James Bond: No Time to Die’ at the end of September this year, after a delay of two years. The last film of the series, which has been released, also has a special place. The famous actor Daniel Craig, who became a whole with the character of 007, played James Bond for the last time in this movie. On the other hand, the famous actor does not seem to give up on having a say in his character, which he is committed to.
Amazon, one of the largest companies in the world, bought Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the producer studio of the Bond series, for $8.45 billion in May. Before long, plans emerged that the James Bond series would be adapted as a digital spin-off. But it seems that Daniel Craig doesn’t quite like the idea.
‘James Bond’s place is in the cinemas’
According to the information revealed, Amazon is making plans to turn the James Bond universe into a digital spin-off series, just like the Marvel universe. It is claimed that the production company, Eon Productions, which is the original rights holder of 007, does not take kindly to this idea. Likewise, Craig expresses that he does not want James Bond to be subject to such an adaptation.
Speaking to the media broadcaster The Sun, Craig used the following statements about the spin-off plans; “The fact that we brought James Bond movies to the cinema is one of the best things that ever happened. That’s where these movies should be. They don’t look very good on phone screens. They look great on Imax screens and 9 meter screens. These movies also create family activities. You can go to the movies with your family. As long as such ‘activity-creating’ films keep coming, it may be possible for cinema to survive. ”
