Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter The name’s Video… Prime Video. Amazon’s streaming service is set to be the new home of all 25 James Bond movies in the United States, the United Kingdom and other key territories. Starting on Oct.
5, everything from “Dr. No” and “From Russia With Love” to “Skyfall” and “No Time to Die” will be available to stream on Prime Video. As part of the franchise’s 60th-anniversary celebration, the streamer also plans to release a documentary “The Sound of 007” on Oct.
5. On the same day, “The Sound of 007: Live From the Royal Albert Hall,” an exclusive recording of the live charity concert, will land on the Prime Video. Mat Whitecross directed “The Sound of 007,” which pulls back the curtain on the enduring property and the many actors, from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig, who portrayed the suave super-spy on screen.
According to Amazon, the 25 Bond films will only be available “for a limited time,” though it didn’t specify the period. With the exception of “No Time To Die,” the first 24 Bond films will also play “for a limited time” in markets including Germany, Sub-Saharan Africa and Brazil. Bond’s move to Prime Video has been expected since Amazon in 2021 spent $8.5 million to acquire MGM, the 97-year-old studio that’s been home to the Bond franchise since its inception.
But having new owners doesn’t necessarily mean that upcoming 007 adventures will skip theaters and land directly on streaming. Bond installments are huge financial undertakings, usually costing $250 million to produce and at least $100 million more to promote. Without playing on the big screen, it’s much harder to turn a profit.

James Bond’s veteran screenwriters have shared some of the secrets of writing 007’s memorable lines.
James Bond fans have been longing for some concrete information about who will take over from Daniel Craig as 007 after No Time To Die. In recent months, Tom Hardy has been one of the biggest names in the running, but his odds have begun to stagnate.
James Bond actors must be a daunting prospect for any star. Not only are you stepping into the shoes of one of cinema's most beloved characters, but you are redefining the role for a new generation. The hunt is on for the next 007 right now, though producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson recently admitted that the search was still in its early stages.
James Bond producer Michael G. Wilson has ruled out the possibility of a younger 007, claiming the next actor will likely be in their thirties.Wilson made the comment while appearing at an In Conversation event at London’s British Film Institute to celebrate 60 years of James Bond.”We’ve tried looking at younger people in the past, but trying to visualise it doesn’t work,” he said.“Remember, Bond’s already a veteran. He’s had some experience.
All this Late Night Talking about Harry Styles playing James Bond seems to be nudging him ever closer to donning that famous white tuxedo.The dramatic slashing of his odds to a stunningly low 14-1 follows a flurry of betting this week on the former One Direction star succeeding Daniel Craig, who stepped down from the role after last year's No Time To Die. Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes said: “Although Henry Cavill is favourite to become the next James Bond, punters have different ideas.The franchise have talked about surprising the audience with their choice, and Harry Styles would certainly do that." Indeed, as Styles' movie Don’t Worry Darling went down a storm at the box office, a new wave of punters really do believe Harry is next in line to the 007 throne.This is a huge swing from the 33-1 bookies were offering only recently.The momentum now means Harry has left fellow one-time 66-1 longshots - Thor's Chris Hemsworth and Star Wars' Ewan McGregor - firmly in the dust.
talk of Idris Elba being the next 007, as well as Tom Hardy. “Bridgerton” star Regé-Jean Page is also tipped to become the martini-drinking secret agent.“We’ve tried looking at younger people in the past,” Wilson said at a Bond event at the British Film Institute on Friday, according to Deadline. “But trying to visualize it doesn’t work.”Craig, who took over as Bond from Pierce Brosnan in 2006, was 38 years old, and went on to appear in four 007 films in total.“Remember, Bond’s already a veteran,” Wilson said.
James Bond bosses are hard at work in looking for a new actor to take over as 007 after Daniel Craig stepped down last year. But the franchise leads, Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, are also looking for a new artist to take over the Bond song for the next movie.
James Bond star, Daniel Craig, has now stepped down from the iconic role of 007, after remaining in the franchise for 15 years and acting in five films. Finally, last year, he rounded off his tenure as Bond in No Time To Die, where his version of the character was killed off for good.
scattered across numerous disparate streaming services and never all in one place, with some — namely a couple of the Daniel Craig entries — being especially tricky to track down for streaming. As part of the 60th anniversary celebration for Bond, but also in no small part thanks to Amazon’s acquisition of MGM earlier this year, that’s finally changing, and Bond fans now have access to all the films as included with a Prime Video subscription.
Bond … James Bond. Have you seen all of the 007 movies? Maybe a few? Perhaps you want to watch them all, but you’re looking for the right strategy.

Manori Ravindran International Editor Landing James Bond may be the biggest acting gig in Hollywood, but 007 producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson say they still have to pitch prospective actors on the part. When Variety catches up with Britain’s most famous producers in late August, they’re busy preparing for the 60th anniversary of Bond in October. But the search for a new actor to play the world’s most famous spy is quietly rumbling on in the background. It’s still “early days,” they claim, but whomever lands the role has to be in it for the long haul. For a while, that person seemed to be Idris Elba. But the “Luther” star recently said he didn’t see Bond when he “looks in the mirror” — remarks that some have interpreted as Elba’s valediction to 007.
