The bombshell news that Amazon MGM have now taken over creative control of the James Bond franchise has led to plenty of concerns about what that means for Bond’s future.

They left the project in March of 2023, and Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight was brought in after them. Knight left the project in October of 2024, but before that, he spoke with The Telegraph about the film, and what it’s like to be part of the massive machine…
The action movie Extraction and its sequel, Extraction 2, both did extremely well for Netflix when they were released in 2020 and 2023, respectively.

The asteroid which has a length of around 130 to 300 feet was spotted at the end of last year, and was originally projected to have a 1% chance of hitting the Earth in 2032.
