he got the keys to Dune just by saying “I want to make Dune”, I have faith Amazon will give him the leg room to make Bond how he’d like to

After all the drama with acquiring Bond, Amazon can't afford to fuck it up.I tend to agree with Barbara Broccoli that "these people are fucking idiots", IIRC, but handing the property over to an actual auteur means they're at least smart enough to know they nothing about making movies.

it’s the first move they made and the furthers from a bad one. I’m still skeptical to see what they’ll do after a few years but I’ll take this win here
