Why Barbara Broccoli let go of James Bond creatively …..
There are whispers that the start of the end occurred in January 2024, when three high-ranking Amazon executives – Jennifer Dalke, Courtenay Valenti, and Julie Rapaport – met with her for a dinner discussion regarding an initial plan for the first Bond movie under Amazon’s ownership, which they had acquired for $8.5 billion in 2022. It is said that Albert R. Broccoli was less than thrilled by what he learned during this meeting and promptly returned to London. Soon after, rumors suggest that Amazon started negotiating the possibility of her relinquishing creative control.
