So they not just lose him, but probably ALSO Richard Hammond, James May and some of the team working with him as it's a package deal as the BBC found out after!,
Playing devil's advocate on this for Amazon (I know), there is a lot of 'likely, sources say' in this article that makes me think the media are pushing this but Amazon itself just stopped events and announcing shows, seeing if this shit will blow over and waiting for the view numbers for season 2 of Clarkson's Farm as if that's higher than season one, I'm betting the execs won't give a shit about some prissy former royals.
It also struck me that this could also function as contract renegotiation fodder, as I expect they feel they can now lowball the boys a bit on price.
That would be an extremely smart move made by competent business professionals!
Probability of being true: 8%
After funding Rangz of Power for a billion dollars I don't put much stock in Amazon's business competency
It's why I went generous with 8%!
Amazon is like a schizophrenic girlfriend, making shit like Rings of Power but then something good like Reacher, Terminal List and the 3rd season of Jack Ryan which was an improvement on season 2.
I really don't understand them at times, it's why I can't slot them into the 'fuck you' pile with Disney and Netflix
Yeah, all those rumors and weird ideas about Tom Cruise came out around the time his contracts were getting renewed. Is he crazy? Well yeah, he works in Hollywood. Why did it only come out when money was on the line though?
