Cruella actor Mark Strong has blamed a night of heavy drinking with Daniel Craig as the reason for his failed James Bond audition.Speaking on Sky One’s There’s Something About Movies, the actor recalled an instance when he was due to audition for the role of a Bond villain. The audition took place in the 1990s, when Pierce Brosnan was playing 007.“I learned the lines… and to celebrate I went out for a drink, and I got pissed,” he explained. “I overdid it and the next day I was severely hungover.”Strong went on to say that the experience was one that he wouldn’t forget in a hurry.

Last week, it was announced that Amazon has acquired MGM and its vast library of films and TV series. And as part of that massive deal, the tech company has become 50% owner of one of the most storied franchises in all of film—the James Bond film series.

Michael De Luca may be the big winner from Wednesday’s blockbuster news that Amazon will purchase Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for $8.45 billion.Though insiders caution that no decisions have been made, there is speculation around Hollywood that De Luca will play a major role in helping the e-commerce giant monetize its new library of 4,000 MGM film titles. It’s an arsenal of intellectual property that includes “Robocop,” “The Silence of the Lambs,” “Rocky,” and, of course, James Bond.

When the announcement of the deal between Amazon and MGM was made, the film franchise that got spoken about most in the acquisition is the James Bond film series. While MGM doesn’t own the complete rights for the franchise, as James Bond is creatively controlled by the production duo of Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson, Amazon is now the parent company of the studio that will distribute the 007 spy films.

After months and weeks of speculation, Amazon and MGM are merging in a deal that has the e-commerce giant acquiring the storied studio $8.45 billion.

Amazon is in negotiations to buy Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in a deal that could reach $9 billion. Their shock comes from a belief that the price tag severely overvalues the studio behind James Bond, the Pink Panther and “Legally Blonde.”Other companies have kicked the tires on MGM at various points during a stop-and-start sales process that has been dragging on for months.
