If I can just put my James Bond hat on for a moment, this is at least slightly reassuring. The Beeb reports that, while there was no major news from CinemaCon in Las Vagas yesterday, the producers stressed that they were committed to cinema: “As movie theatres struggle to bring in audiences and as many consumers stay home and watch YouTube, Amazon MGM executives repeatedly told the crowd they were committed to the theatrical experience.” Needless to say, that is quite a relief. As a cinephile, I would hate to see film’s greatest secret agent watered down into just another generic, mass market streamed character. On the other hand, the producers Amazon have put in place, Amy Pascal and David Heyman, are behind dross like Harry Potter and Spider-Man, which does not fill me with optimism.
