So get this — Amazon’s Prime Video had all the James Bond flicks lined up for our streaming pleasure, right? Then outta nowhere, they decide to go all “gentleman spy” by removing all the guns from Bond’s digital posters. I mean, 007 without his trusty piece? That’s like Mars trying to throw a party in Pisces — just ain’t gonna happen without some chaos! Fans were understandably scratching their heads, wondering, “Is this a new Bond pacifist phase or what?” When people started blowing up the internet questioning this bizarre move, Amazon swiftly pulled those posters and slapped on some cropped versions that kept Bond suspiciously unarmed. But here’s the twist — now that Netflix is in the mix through a slick licensing deal, guess what? They’ve restored the guns back where they belong: in Bond’s hands, ready for action. Feels like Mercury finally got direct and gave 007 his mojo back. Classic! Wonder if other zodiac signs are watching this and thinking about reclaiming what’s rightfully theirs. What’s your take? Should Bond be carting heat in every poster or is this a cosmic sign for change? LEARN MORE
All of the James Bond movies can be found on Amazon’s Prime Video streaming service – and a few months ago, the streamer made the baffling decision to remove the guns from all of their Bond movie digital posters! When fans took notice and questioned the decision online (which was made even more confusing by the fact that promotional images for other action movies on the service still featured guns), Prime Video deleted those posters and replaced them… with cropped images that still kept guns out of the hands of 007, a man with a license to kill. As we reported a few weeks ago, Prime Video and Netflix recently struck a deal that would allow Netflix to stream Bond movies as well. The movies have now made their way on to Netflix – and fans will be glad to know that some of their image choices have put guns back in the hands of 007!
A quick glimpse at Netflix showed us images of an armed Bond, as you can see in these screen shots supplied by JoBlo’s own Tyler Nichols:
When the Netflix Bond deal was announced, Chris Ottinger, Head of Worldwide Distribution, Amazon MGM Studios, said, “When Amazon acquired MGM, Amazon’s plan was to continue licensing MGM’s iconic library to streaming and television partners around the world. Bringing these iconic films and shows to Netflix is part of that continued strategy. James Bond remains one of the most enduring and influential franchises in cinematic history, and alongside other beloved titles in our library like Hunters among other series, this agreement reflects the continued global appetite for premium storytelling and the strong working relationship we’ve built with Netflix.“
It’s known that franchise entries like Die Another Day, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, and No Time to Die will be available to stream on Netflix across the U.S., Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Benelux, Italy, Nordics, and Latin America for three months.
