Part 2/8:
British cinema has faced significant challenges in recent years, particularly for franchises deeply woven into the cultural fabric, such as Doctor Who and The Lord of the Rings. Doctor Who, despite its rich legacy, has seen a downturn in viewership with creative decisions that many fans feel strayed from the original essence. Similarly, Amazon's adaptation of Tolkien's revered works faced backlash, losing substantial audience engagement with each subsequent season. The fear is that the same fate could befall James Bond under Amazon's creative control.
