Amazon MGM paid just $20 million to Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson for full creative control of the James Bond franchise – following claims of a £1 BILLION takeover

In February, the James Bond franchise—spanning 25 films and six actors who played 007—was sold to Amazon MGM for around $1 billion. Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, who have produced the films for many years, made the sale after repeatedly thwarting on-screen villains’ plans for world domination.

Despite Its Best Efforts, Nobody Wants This Still Seems Stumped by Jewish Women

“Nobody Wants This” is a bit of a mixed bag. While Kristen Bell and Adam Brody are incredibly likeable, and the show often nails its observations about love and family, these strengths sometimes overshadow its flaws. The first season received mostly positive reviews, but a common criticism was the show’s stereotypical and harsh portrayal of Jewish women, created by Erin Foster who drew from her own experiences. When Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, both Jewish and known for their work on “Girls,” joined as showrunners for Season 2, many hoped they would bring a more nuanced perspective to these characters. They’ve improved things to some degree, and the new episodes have plenty to offer. However, the show still feels inconsistent, relying heavily on the charisma of its leads and continuing to struggle with its depiction of Jewish women, even with a more sensitive approach this time around.
