Part 3/7:
Speculations Behind the Decision
The reasons behind the Broccoli family's yielding of creative control have led to much speculation. Reports suggest that working with Amazon may have been a challenging experience for the Broccolis. A leaked statement from Barbara Broccoli described the partnership with Amazon as frustrating, implying that difficulties in collaboration may have contributed to their decision to relinquish control.
With the franchise now under Amazon's helm, the full oversight has been described as a “joint venture.” However, the term appears somewhat misleading, as the creative control granted to Amazon means they ultimately dictate the direction of future Bond films, leaving the Broccolis with a minimally involved support role.
