Makes sense. Even if people see the headline there are still specifics that can be avoided. ---

It’s why Boyle left, I hear. He wanted it be Q who was a figment, which Bond would find out when he tried to change their relationship status on Facebook to “It’s complicated” ---

Exactly! And the final straw for Eon was of course Boyle’s post PTS reveal that Blofeld was in fact a psychiatrist researching Bond’s shared hallucination with fellow patient Mallory, in which both believe the ward nurse, Miss Ratchet, is fact in Bond’s second cousin once removed, Nurse I. Bunt. ---

I doubt they’ll let it go bankrupt but i wouldnt be surprised if at some point the Bond deal or annapurna gets moved to being a subsidiary of skydance ---

Goes to show how really everything is constantly subject to change, especially in this business. Even coming from one of the wealthiest families and securing a credit line in the hundreds of millions region doesn’t guarantee success any more. ---

Well she willfully picked very niche films and gave them bigger budgets than they were likely to recoup - good for art and her tax returns (lots of write offs) but it was always a self indulgent exercise rather than a real go for the jugular commercial film studio so perhaps not that surprising ---

Eon or MGM? Or both? At any rate, on paper Annapurna had probably that certain appeal of quality you would like to see your productions glowing in. I think the potential may have been what tipped the scale, not so much the actual performance and the necessary work to build a joint venture marketing and release. As the article points out, it took just a handful of underperforming films and the ship was taking water. ---

Since financial power always takes precedent over artful ambitious I suspect EON mainly chose Annapurna to give the bog studios the middle finger.
