Agent 007 fans are going to have to find patience wherever they can. His return to the big screen with a new face after the retirement of Daniel Craig is not even in its infancy. This has been confirmed by Barbara Broccoli, producer of the James Bond films and custodian of the character along with Michael G. Wilson.

Broccoli commented on The Guardian that planning for the next stage of the spy, which will involve a complete update of the saga, has not yet begun:

“I go back to ‘Goldeneye’, when everyone was saying ‘the cold war is over, the Wall has fallen, Bond is dead, we don’t need Bond, the whole world is at peace and there are no more villains’, how they were wrong “Daniel gave us the ability to delve into the emotional life of the character… and the world was ready for it. I think these films reflect their time, and there is a very long road ahead to reinvent it for the new chapter, and not we haven’t even started are that.

James Bond said goodbye to fans in 2021 with ‘Daniel Craig’s last mission. From there the rumors began about who would inherit the tuxedo, the license to kill and the taste for the Martini mixed, not shaken. The one who had been most talked about so far was Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who would have had meetings with the producers.

At the time it was also said that the objective was to rejuvenate the character by choosing a less tall actor (Craig was 38 when they announced him as 007), but the casting director stated for a long time that they were not finding in the younger actors what they needed.

Barbara Broccoli emphasizes that the new stage will continue to focus on films that can be seen in theaters, despite Amazon’s acquisition of MGM. He also rules out spin-offs or series for the moment: “Our priority is to make the films. When we start a Bond film it occupies all of our attention for three or four years, so that is our priority. We make the Bond films for the big screen and everything about the Bond movies is for the public to see in that format around the world, that’s why we didn’t want to do television.”

James Bond on Amazon

Although James Bond is not going to make the leap to the small screen, at least for now, the franchise does branch out for the first time in a contest, ‘007’s Road to a Million’, which will be presented by Brian Cox and in which several “Amateur agents” will compete in an adventure around the world with tests full of nods to the saga and a final cash prize of one million pounds.

Regarding this spin-off, Barbara Broccoli considers it “something fun to do in between” until they get to the James Bond update. She emphasizes that the contest will be driven by the same values ​​as the films: “heroism, courage and strength.” It will premiere on Prime Video on November 10, and they do not rule out that it may have other international variants.

The movie saga (except the last one) has been available again on the Amazon streaming platform since last October 1, but if you want to do a marathon it shouldn’t take long because they will leave Prime Video again on January 31 of the year coming.

The American legal drama ‘Suits: The Key to Success’ is experiencing a historic moment. Since the series arrived on Netflix at the beginning of summer, it has broken all records and expectations.

A few weeks ago, creator Aaron Korsh denied that any project related to the series was being produced. Now, Deadline He denies it and confirms that a new series in the ‘Suits’ universe is in the works.

It is not a revival or reboot as we are used to lately. Not a spin-off either. In this case, NBCUniversal is in the negotiation phase with Korsh about a new fiction linked to the original but not directly related. It would be something similar to what happens with other franchises like ‘CSI’ and ‘NCIS’, where the name is kept but there are new characters and locations. Sources talk about the city of Los Angeles as a possible setting in which the new series would develop, while ‘Suits’ takes place in New York.

Although they still have to reach an agreement between the production company and the creator, if everything goes well, the project would be positioned as one of NBCUniversal’s priorities. According to the same source, it is not ruled out that it will be signed for several seasons from the beginning. . All this a few months ago was a true utopia, but by becoming a phenomenon on Netflix the situation has changed.

The failed spin-off

It is not the first time that the production company wants to exploit the success of ‘Suits’ by creating a new series. He already tried it in the summer of 2019 with the premiere of the spin-off ‘Pearson’ that followed the character of Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres) in Chicago. It released a total of ten episodes while the ninth and final season of the original series was still airing.

The fiction failed to attract the expected audience, barely reaching half the audience of its predecessor, and ended up being canceled after its first season. Will the new project suffer the same fate?

Wait a minute, are we talking about an adaptation of Alan Moore’s exceptional comic that presents us with an adventure starring Allan Quatermain, Dr. Henry Jekyll, Captain Nemo and Dorian Gray? With Sean Connery leading the cast? Directed by Stephen Norrington, responsible for the wonderful ‘Blade’? Yeah? Sure success! Well no. Absolutely.

‘The League of Extraordinary Men’ had a good number of possibilities to end up succeeding artistically and commercially, one only has to review the elements mentioned in the first paragraph of this special, and precisely for this reason its tremendous failure is even more painful. in every sense. A boring film, without soul, energy, epic, emotion or anything even slightly resembling fun.

A capital disappointment that, apparently, was already seen coming from the first moment. Connery’s words: “The shoot was a nightmare. This experience was a big factor in my decision to retire, it made me think about show business. I got tired of dealing with idiots and from day one I realized that Stephen Norrington, the director, he was mad.” Impossible not to understand the longed for Sean.

This article contains spoilers

from ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate’. If you haven’t seen the movie or don’t want to know who appears at the end, don’t read on.

‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate’ is not doing very well at the box office. Although the public has received it somewhat better than the critics, the truth is that Harrison Ford’s farewell as the most iconic archaeologist in cinema will be impossible to escape the label of disappointment. And as if the collection and the division of opinions were not enough, now one of the actresses adds a little more discontent to that negative halo that has been created around the film.

If you have not seen the fifth installment of ‘Indiana Jones’ and do not want to find out about the end, we recommend that you do not continue reading from here. It will not be because we have not warned.

At the end of ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate’, Indiana Jones and Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) travel to the past, specifically to the year 287 BC, after a miscalculation by the villain, Voller (Mads Mikkelsen), and Indy decides stay there instead of going back to the present (i.e. 1969) with the others. However, at the last moment, Helena punches him unconscious and takes him back to his time, where she discovers that he has a reason to move on instead of dwelling on the past: his family. . The new (Helena, Teddy) and the old, represented by Sallah (John Rhys-Davies) and the return of his great love, Marion Ravenwood.

Karen Allen returns in the final scene of ‘The Dial of Fate’ to give Indy his happy ending and bring them together for good, 42 years after they met in ‘Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark’. Allen’s appearance is quite a nostalgic treat for fans of the saga and a perfect emotional closure, but it turns out that Marion was originally going to have a much bigger role in the film.

It was the actress herself who confirmed it in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, where he also explains why they decided to cut his role. According to Allen, the initial plan, when Steven Spielberg was still involved with the project as director, was for “Indiana Jones 5” to be a story about Indy and Marion. But when James Mangold took over the reins of the film, the difficulty of rewriting the story without Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf) meant that his mother, Marion, also ended up narratively displaced.

“When Steve [Spielberg] was going to direct the film, I didn’t have the opportunity to read any of the scripts, although I know that Marion had a lot more presence in the story at that time, “reveals Allen. “I knew that James [Mangold] I had hired new writers and they were going to give a whole new approach to the film, but in reality I was entering the unknown.” “The next thing I remember is reading the script of [‘El Dial del Destino’] and of course I was disappointed,” she continues. “I thought I was going to have a bigger role in the movie, but that just wasn’t the direction they decided to go.”

The reason: Shia LaBeouf

Next, the actress attributes the decision to Shia LaBeouf’s departure from the saga, after being introduced in ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ as the heir to Indy’s whip. After the premiere of the fourth installment, the actor’s reputation deteriorated due to constant problems with the law and stories about how difficult it was to work with him. Years later, LaBeouf was accused of sexual assault and emotional abuse by his ex-girlfriend, the singer FKA Twigs, so if his return as a Mutt was already rather unlikely, that ended up definitively sealing his fate.

In ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate’ it is revealed that Mutt has died and this caused Indy and Marion to drift apart, which leaves her out of Doctor Jones’ latest adventure, save for her brief return at the end. Allen explains it like this:

“I think they ran into some trouble resolving the story because Shia LaBeouf wasn’t coming back, so they decided to create a story where Mutt had been killed in the war and that put a wall between Marion and Indy. Well, I was I was shocked when I read it. But I was really glad they got back together at the end.”

A week after the premiere, Disney has published an official poster dedicated to Marion Ravenwood. ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate’ is currently in theaters.
