007: Road To A Million Ratchet Up The Stakes
007: Road to A Million plays on some of that audience expectation of Cox as a villain after that amazing stint on Succession. However, the Bond movie bad guy vibe is clearly something the actor is relishing. The Prime Video series combines a few winning formulas into something that a lot of people are going to want to tune-in for when it gets rolling in November. Here’s what Prime Video had to say about 007: Road to A Million before the big premiere date.
The description reads, “007: Road to a Million will see contestants competing in teams of two on a global adventure to win the ultimate prize of up to £1 million. Filmed in iconic Bond locations – from the Scottish Highlands to Venice and Jamaica – this cinematic format will be a test of intelligence, endurance and heroism. In addition to conquering obstacles, the contestants, who will compete in two-person teams, must correctly answer questions hidden in the different locations around the world to advance to the next challenge.”
Will There Be Other James Bond TV Shows?
With all this attention to James Bond on a TV how, it is fair to wonder how far the people in charge will be willing to go. Would there ever be a Bond TV miniseries. Well, according to 007 producer Barbara Broccoli, you shouldn’t hold your breath. She told The Guardian that there were no plans for that. Making a James Bond movie just takes up too much bandwidth to be worried about that sort of thing.
“Our focus is making the feature films. When we get going on a Bond movie it takes our full attention for three or four years so that’s our focus,” Broccoli explained to the outlet. “We make the Bond movies for the big theatrical screen and everything about the Bond movies is for audiences to see around the world on that format, so we’ve not wanted to do television.”
