Amazon boss Jeff Bezos to push wife Lauren Sánchez for big role in James Bond reboot despite her lack of acting background: Report
Amazon boss Jeff Bezos is making waves beyond the tech world with plans to catapult his wife, Lauren Sánchez, into a major acting role in Hollywood's upcoming James Bond reboot. Insiders say the billionaire's determination to see Sánchez on screen has become a serious priority, leveraging his growing influence in the entertainment industry to make it happen. Sources reveal Bezos' strong push to cast Lauren Sánchez in James Bond reboot According to OK Magazine, Bezos has developed a strong fixation on casting Lauren Sánchez in the new Bond film, describing the ambition as 'obsessed'. Despite Sánchez, a former journalist, not being a professional actress, Bezos' recent acquisition of MGM Studios grants him significant authority over casting and production decisions. According to sources, Sánchez is regarded as his muse, and with billions invested, Bezos expects his vision to be realised. Amazon's $8 billion acquisition of MGM expands Bezos' Hollywood power The 2022 purchase of MGM Studios by Bezos for $8 billion greatly expands his foothold in the entertainment industry. MGM's rich catalogue includes iconic franchises such as James Bond and Rocky, placing Bezos in a prime position to influence major upcoming productions. This acquisition has transformed Bezos from a tech mogul into a major Hollywood player with the ability to shape blockbuster projects. James Bond 26 reboot introduces a new creative team and sparks casting speculation The upcoming James Bond 26 reboot is set to be directed by Denis Villeneuve and penned by Steven Knight, marking a fresh creative direction for the franchise. With Daniel Craig stepping down from the role of 007, the search for a new Bond has triggered widespread debate. Bezos himself fuelled speculation by tweeting about potential candidates for the role earlier this year. Rumours have since linked Lauren Sánchez to a significant part in the film, heightening interest in the reboot. Bezos and Sánchez's dreamy Venice wedding Bezos and Sánchez officially got married on June 27, 2025. The ceremony took place on the stunning island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, and it was quite the star-studded affair. Over 200 guests showed up, including celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Tom Brady. The couple even arrived by helicopter; talk about making an entrance! Instead of asking for traditional gifts, they encouraged everyone to donate to local charities in Venice, showing some love to their host city. Their relationship first made headlines back in early 2019, right after Bezos announced his divorce from MacKenzie Scott. Lauren had just finalised her split from talent agent Patrick Whitesell. But the pair had been quietly seeing each other since around 2016. Fast forward a few years, and Bezos popped the question in May 2023 during a romantic trip to the South of France. It was the start of their official journey toward marriage. After the wedding, Jeff and Lauren kicked off their honeymoon with a grand European adventure. Recently, they were spotted having a blast in Ibiza, Spain, dancing the night away at a nightclub. Meanwhile, fans are eagerly awaiting more updates on the James Bond reboot, including casting details. With Lauren Sánchez's rumored involvement, it will be interesting to see how longtime fans respond to this development.

Aamir Khan gambles with YouTube release, experts doubt pay-per-view traction
Aamir Khan's bold move to release his latest movie Sitaare Zameen Par on YouTube, after a theatrical stint, instead of selling its rights to a streaming platform may not pay off, trade experts cautioned. The pay-per-view model on YouTube could help the film make just about ₹25-30 crore over the next few months as audiences pay ₹100 for each viewing, with the revenue to be split in a ratio of 55:45 in favour of the popular actor. By comparison, an OTT deal would have brought Khan at least ₹125 crore, they said. Also TVoD (transaction video-on-demand), or pay-per-view, hasn't really taken off in the country even as piracy continues to pose a big challenge to the movie business. 'TVoD is an established protocol internationally and even companies like Zee and Amazon have tried it domestically. So, it's not like it's never been attempted before. But deals like this definitely don't help make as much as an upfront OTT deal and it is likely that the film will eventually make its way to an SVoD (subscription video on demand) platform, albeit at a much lower price than would have been offered initially," said a film producer on the condition of anonymity. This person further pointed out that compared to mature markets like the West, not premiering the film on OTT is unlikely to have helped it find a big theatrical draw or bolstered its collections by a huge margin. Also, given that Sitaare Zamin Par's release strategy is the first experiment of its kind, it hasn't made adequate noise and marketing has been below par. On the other hand, services like Netflix and Prime Video go all out to promote films acquired after the theatrical release, coordinating media and fan interactions and special promos. YouTube, that works as a platform for all user-generated content, rarely pushes for individual titles to the same degree. On the launch of the film on YouTube, Khan had admitted in a conversation with Mint that TVoD has seen fairly low traction in India so far. But recent developments could aid its growth. 'UPI has ensured the payments mechanism is no longer cumbersome. Add to that improving internet penetration and a platform with such a large footprint, and I think this is the right time to experiment with pay-per-view," Khan had added. According to Comscore data for March 2024, YouTube reached four in five internet users in India aged 18. Entertainment-related content represented over 7.5 billion daily views on YouTube in 2024. Film producer Shariq Patel welcomed the experiment, saying it's encouraging that Indian creators like Khan are adopting the globally-established six-week window between a film's theatrical debut and its online release, including pay-per-view. 'But the practice needs to be followed consistently by others in the industry. It would be difficult for consumer behaviour to evolve if this is just a one-off," Patel added. To be sure, some industry experts believe that Khan's move makes business sense given the wide reach of YouTube, something that no OTT platform, foreign or homegrown, can match. The Ficci-EY media and entertainment report said YouTube reached 800 million in India in 2024, and average daily YouTube consumption by online adults aged 35 years or above stood at 80-plus minutes. 'Plus, they will get data on viewership and engagement more easily, something that platforms such as Netflix and Prime Video rarely part with. This would help them plan content and marketing strategies, going forward," said Yusuf Shaikh, business head of feature films at production and distribution firm Percept Pictures.

Aamir Khan ready to bring ‘Sitaare Zameen Par' to OTT but not without this demand…, says ‘I have always wanted my films…
Aamir Khan ready to bring 'Sitaare Zameen Par' to OTT but not without this demand…, says 'I have always wanted my films… In the ever-evolving world of cinema, many films come and go. But there are rarely any films that are planned and distributed meticulously. One such example of this is Sitaare Zameen Par. Unlike other mainstream films that are sold on OTT after their theatrical run, Aamir Khan, known for his perfection and unconventional choices, decided to go for a pay-per-view model. In a recent interview, Aamir Khan revealed why he rejected massive streaming giants and went for a YouTube release. Aamir Khan on releasing his film on OTT Speaking on a podcast, Aamir Khan said, 'I've always wanted my films to come on OTT platforms, but the period has to be six months.' He emphasised theatrical release as the priority, adding, 'Every movie needs to be handled differently.' Aamir Khan shares that he doesn't have a problem with OTT release, but rather the short release window between the two. He explained, 'Now is the time to create a window that exists in the rest of the world.' As per Aamir, that window should ideally be 'six months or five months.' He believes that this much time gives ample time for a film to perform in the cinema. The actor acknowledged that not all viewers subscribe to OTT platforms, noting, 'There is a section that does, and I'm one of them.' But, he added, the strategy should also cater to those who prefer theaters. 'I've always wanted my films to come on OTT platforms, but the period has to be six months,' he said. Aamir Khan on the Pay-Per-View Model Speaking on why the pay-per-view model wasn't used earlier, he said, 'Electronic payments weren't in place,' adding that with the arrival of UPI and other payment methods, the market has changed. According to him, now with the digitization, it's the right time to explore a windowed approach between theatres and OTT using PPV as an interim model. Speaking on why he didn't make a deal with major streaming platforms for Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir said that his partners 'were not ready for this decision, and hence, they backed out.' Still, he remains confident in his strategy, saying, 'I still feel there is an audience that would watch it on Netflix or Amazon when it does come on an OTT channel, if they so decide.' Released on June 20, 2025, Sitaare Zameen Par was released in theaters on June 20, 2025, and became available on YouTube from August 1, 2025.
