Tuesday this week Amazon announced hiring execs Amy Pascal and David Heyman to shepherd James Bond on screen going forward. Thursday, Amazon MGM exec Jen Salke left that role for a producing deal with the studio.
From this, the industry reads that Salke was the main cause of friction between Amazon and the Broccoli-Wilson family. DEADLINE further reported Salke was left out of negotiations with Pascal and Heyman, who made their agreement contingent on reporting to Courtenay Valenti, not Salke herself.
I'm pleased with the hire. Pascal has experience producing Spider-Man and three of the latest Bonds; Heyman was behind the Harry Potter movies. That's the level of buzz expected of Bond movies.
