Bond shock!

Bezos name … Jeff Bezos: It is very similar to the task of the bonds, news of 007 is kept. Until yesterday, when the industrial thunderbolt was shot with news that James Bond producers have long been Michael J. Wilson and Parbra Broccoli abandoned their beloved spy privilege and hand over to the Amazon MGM studios. Gossip around the strains in the relationship between Brocoli Wilson and Jeff Bezos was a long time ago in the ether and a few weeks ago Wall Street Journal A deep diving entitled “James Bond Excellence Goldenger and Doctor No. Can he win a battle with Amazon?” And that published these difficulties. But the huge interface for this week, which our colleagues in the United States estimates about $ 1 billion, will see that family agents give up creative supervision of their floors privilege after several decades. Details about what constitutes a deal about $ 1 B $ 1B unknown at this time, but both sides called the new “joint project”. Social media and industry reported alive with speculation about what Amazon MGM would now do is that it contains elegant spy keys. The world is Amazon’s Oyster-TV concessions, transverse, and style (one single so far is the coordination of the strange competition brian Cox-Helmed Road to a millionAnd it is more likely to be on the table. Perhaps the world is not enough. With barely ink, bezos had already assembled fans about who should play 007 on Insta, a confirmed sign of what would come and still one of the burning questions today. The news feels sad in many senses, as one of the most well -known privileges in the world loses its secretary -focused scent and the “ancient Hollywood” wipes the way to “New Hollywood”. If you are going to read one piece on the Bond Epic, make it from Breaking Baz, which reports about one of the close -ups that received the news that is similar to receiving a call “about the death of the family.” “Do not shake it and move it a lot, otherwise everything will break,” Baz writes. Amen for that.

Mexican gold rush from Netflix

Ted meeting Claudia: In contact with neighboring countries at a time when the US President is more keen to build walls and spread customs tariffs, Netflix has pledged to spend $ 1 billion on Mexican production over the next four years. Stuner invests heavily in the original fare of Latin America, and is keen to highlight the benefit of local filmmaking, television and wider economies, which comes at a time when Netflix was away from its competitors worldwide. The news was revealed by those at the top: Ted Sarandos went to Mexico to meet President Claudia Shinbom. At a press conference, Netflix coach said: “President Shinbom, in Netflix, we share your vibrant vision of Mexico full of growth and opportunity. We want to play our role in making it a reality.” In Mexico – Club de Cuervos – The nation said, “It maintains a special place in our history.” Warm words at a time when wider relationships are strained.

Berlin again in the main headlines

The controversial policy again: After a second week of preliminary offers such as Richard Linclter Blue Moon and Ice tower The Marion Cotillard starring, the Berlin Film Festival is saved in the main headlines associated again with some controversial policies. This time, a letter delivered by the Hong Kong John Lee’s film director, who accused the German administration and its cultural institutions, including Berlinaly, of complicity in “apartheid, genocide, brutal killing and eradication of the Palestinian people.” Li is now being investigated by the local police and there were calls from a prominent politician to enter the festival. It is difficult for Berlinale, as the speech became a national discussion point only when it was posted on X. Zac was in a forum that was shown at the weekend in the same weekend, where he says similar feelings were shared by a film director. Berlinali has always been a political festival – on the opening night, the new Tricia Tutorist President at the Teresia Festival joined a protest against the red carpet to support an Israeli actor kidnapped by Hamas. Moving forward, and the question is whether the festival can protect film makers and keep its reputation as a place for participating and mystery discussion. The closing ceremony this year on Saturday. Last year, the closure of a bitter political debate for months in Germany and tension was a historic, golden -baytou, a golden -baytib. Check again with us this week to find out how this year’s party collapses.

John Pilson investigation

Sad day with continued questions: I went to the town of Midston yesterday to cover the investigation achieved by John Plepson, the TV producer who tragicly dealt with his life last year only a few weeks after his work in the true crime series of Channel 4. Hearing for three hours highlights the mental and physical distress that John witnessed in the weeks before his death, and in anxiously, it revealed the number of health professionals who were granted this information while sometimes felt a British British accusation regulations that did not join enough to prevent The tragedy. John Al -Shuja ‘mother, Margaret and her wife, Yamno, attended, and she sat honestly, until his final speech to Blason Al -Qalbi, who reads him before the court. It was a possible day. The criminal investigative judge was expected to conclude suicide, but the Channel 4 report on the circumstances related to his death did not respond to the reports and questions that still exist. There is also an issue if the offer he was working on before his death, In the footsteps of the killers, The air will. John’s death has led to a great deal of meditation on the risk of fatigue on realistic television, and this will undoubtedly continue for a long time until 2025. Our report can be found from today’s events here.
