Former Bond Girl Jane Seymour says she's hopeful for the future of the 007 franchise after Amazon acquired creative control.

Jassy's reassurances follow the shocking news which left some Bond fans apprehensive about what will become of the British spy on the big screen. The series' most recent outing is 2021's No Time To Die, which marked Daniel Craig's final appearance in the role of Bond.

For over six decades, the Broccoli family has been as much a part of the James Bond film franchise as vodka martinis (shaken, not stirred, of course), beautiful women and henchmen with terrible aim.
