@ Kris:Wait.. your EX wife..wow I need to be on here more often.

Don't think I've posted about it on here before. It's not the sort of thing I want to broadcast to the world.

Producers are looking for “more dynamic duos to jet set across the globe using their wits and general knowledge to answer questions hidden around the world,” according to a casting notice, which says that filming is “due to take place throughout 2024.”“007’s Road to a Million” is a bold new move for Eon Productions who own the rights to Bond and have never before permitted the IP to be used in unscripted TV. Variety was first break the news about the production last spring, which is a collaboration between Eon, Amazon Studios, 72 Films and MGM Alternative.

“People have always come to us about doing a TV show, [saying,] ‘Oh, you should do a Bond challenge,’” Eon boss Barbara Broccoli told Variety last year. “But we always stayed away from it because we didn’t want to put people in danger and have them do dangerous things, because it’s not for members of the public — it’s for trained professionals..........so this is how she keeps busy?

Amen to that.

These people, are they in the room with us right now?

No, this is the result of Amazon's pressure to cash in on the IP. I'm sure an "Amazing Race" knock off wasn't what they had in mind, however, since Babz can't be arsed to make a movie any quicker than every half decade a new film and scripted T.V. were out of the question, so this I imagine is the compromise.

Following trends..which are far from it it at this point.

What trends would you even follow right now, though? Long-running action franchises like Indiana Jones and Mission Impossible are struggling at the box office, while the big hits of the moment are Barbie and Oppenheimer - two films which are too dissimilar from each other to be able to look at them and say "this is the direction we should be going in".

I meant more that if it was something like The Amazing Race..is it still relevant?

Couldn't be bothered to scroll past all the padding. Did anyone make it far enough to find out when Babbzy said the Bond series could end?

As Matthew Field and Ajay Chowdhury note, there are several Broccoli and Wilson family members who have already been brought into the Bond fold. Michael Wilson's son, Gregg, was an associate producer on 2012's "Skyfall," 2015's "Spectre," and "No Time to Die," and has been active in the world of Bond for some time, telling Digital Spy back in 2012 that it would be a "dream" to have Christopher Nolan direct a 007 outing — something Nolan still seems up for in 2023.

Michael Wilson also told FIeld and Chowdhury, "My other son, David, is on the top floor, working on independent projects and the video games. My niece Heather, Tina's daughter [works in publicity]. So we have a good representation of the family here."

Barbara Broccoli is also keeping things in the family. As she revealed to the authors, her daughter, Angelica Zollo, has "asked me a couple of times, 'Am I supposed to take over from you guys?' And I've said, 'You do what you want, girl!'" However, in a 2021 interview, Zollo had this to say:

"[The Bond franchise] is definitely something I love and I am proud of. [...] I've done little jobs and I've spent a lot of time with my mom watching but I can't ever do what they have done. It's a huge thing and it's pretty intimidating. I want to do my own thing and [Barbara Broccoli] has been super supportive but who knows, maybe one day!"

For now, it seems Wilson's sons are at least firmly invested in Bond even while Broccoli's daughter remains unsure.

Angelica Zollo might run the franchise in the not to distant future?

Asked whether the 007 franchise could ever, conceivably, come to an end. Broccoli remained optimistic, saying, "As long as the audience wants to see the films they will be made by us, or by some version of our descendants."

The Broccoffspring is smart. She should go off and do her own thing. FREEDOM!!

Yeah, it doesn't sound like she wants the job. Better she leaves Bond behind than resentfully cling onto it because she's not qualified to do anything else. Speaking hypothetically, of course.

Yes, though I'm sure they'll both deny it: https://www.theonion.com/report-everyon ... 1819569417
