Barbara Broccoli

No Bond had had an ending to conclude their character arc until that point.

So, and it is, you know, iconographically, visually, the perfect ending in a way for the eon Barbara Broccoli era of the franchise too, before it got sold to Amazon.

You know, just Madeline and Bond's daughter driving off in the Aston Martin to all the time in the world.

I mean, can you get more of a poetic ending? to a 50-year era, or 60-plus year, 60, yeah, over 60-year era, than that.

What Barbara Broccoli wants, Barbara Broccoli gets.

[laughs]

[laughs] Stand by your man.

But anyway, Pierce Brosnan was, like, a shot in the arm for the franchise.

Uh, directed by Martin Campbell.

More, most notably, though, this was the first time a woman was in charge of the series because Barbara Broccoli-

Oh.

Barbara Broccoli, not a drag queen.

do people walk into you?

And I worry about this for our daughter, the same thing.

How many times have we said it? You know, please just, you know, make sure you're careful crossing the road.

I saw when they get out of the car, she got out of the car, picks up her phone, looks straight at her phone and starts walking.

Anyway, the other thing as well was we were kind of very proud parents the other day.

Yeah.

Our daughter is doing her driving lesson.

She's just amazed after they grow up.

if they weren't involved at some ca- to some capacity.

Well, maybe, but there's, there's sort of a bit of a, a, a, I, I sort of think sometimes that they were a little bit of a Broccoli's favorite.

Mm.

And actually, there were people who didn't think they did a ...

Aaron Taylor-Johnson told him he'd got the role apparently.

Mm.

Whether that's, whether, whether it's true that, that Broccoli and Wilson would've cast him had things gone differently with all the rights and all the l- you know, the, the Amazon stuff-

Mm

don't necessarily think they cared so much.

Also, but also, I mean, just the fact that like Barbara Broccoli is American, which is like a fact that nobody wants to bring up.

She's spiritually English.

She's spiritually English, but she is American.

Yeah, post-Wolverine, yeah.

That's a stupid move on their part.

I think it's because Barbara Broccoli is secretly a huge musical theater fan.

I think that's the reason why.

She was absolutely fantastic.

But I mean, Eon Productions, the Broccoli name now is Eon Productions, and still run by a Broccoli, Barbara, Barbara Broccoli.

She also produced our stage version.

In fact, it was her that said to Tom Sutherland, she said, "What car have you got?" And he said, "Oh, that's yet to be decided." She went, "I'll get you the good one." So he [laughs] we got the, we got the best car.

Because you're not talking about your mate and saying that he knows.

He obviously knows Barbara Broccoli.

Yeah.

And
