007: Road to a Million – Official teaser trailer

It’s been over two years since No Time To Die hit cinemas and the role of James Bond has been vacant ever since.

Now EON Productions are gearing up to release their first official reality TV show called 007 Road to a Million.

The Amazon series sees everyday people facing physical and psychological challenges in Bond-themed locations around the world in a competition to win £1 million.

During a new interview around this with The Guardian, 007 producer Barbara Broccoli was asked about the state of play surrounding casting the next James Bond and production on the new movie.

The 63-year-old shared her update, which was later commented on by a Bond insider who knows her.

Broccoli said: “I think these movies reflect the time they are in, and there’s a big, big road ahead reinventing it for the next chapter and we haven’t even begun with that…

“I go back to GoldenEye when everyone was saying ‘The cold war is over, the wall is over, Bond is dead, no need for Bond, the whole world’s at peace and now there’s no villains’ – and boy was that wrong!”

Since making these comments, Bond expert Mark O’Connell, whose grandfather was a chauffeur for Cubby Broccoli, Sir Sean Connery and Sir Roger Moore on the 007 movies, has shared his thoughts with insider knowledge.

The author of Catching Bullets: Memoirs of a Bond fan, which Broccoli penned a prelude to, wrote some comments on his Instagram.

O’Connell shared: “This is not a delay. This is not anyone resting on their laurels. The new 007 – ROAD TO A MILLION is a sidebar, a fun project indicative of how we are not in 1964 anymore when it comes to new platforms, programming and consumption.

“Also, 007 needs newer, wider and more contemporary audiences. All our top memories of Bond at the two-screen high street Odeon in 1972 or even 1997 are not where a 2025 franchise has to position and repoint itself.

“Creators, artists and producers can actually work on more than one thing at any time. And if some folk want to believe those Bond HQ cogs have yet to start turning on BOND 26, in reality they rarely stop.”

With all this in mind, hopefully we’ll have a new Bond announced in 2024 for a 2025 release.
