Guys, incredible things are happening.
Yes, the head of the woke Amazon Studios is reportedly going to resign, and it's her handling of the Tolkien Lord of the Rings property and her push to woke-ify James Bond that did her in.
Coming up as a TV and not a movie executive finally seems to have caught up to Jennifer Salke at Amazon MGM Studios. Her inability to mesh with the gatekeepers of the James Bond movies might well have sealed her fate. While her exit from the executive suites officially is being regarded as an exit by choice into a producing deal, sources in town say it is closer to a firing.
Almost like no one wants a female James Bond. At least, the owners of the IP didn't. That, and other ideas from girlboss Salke, ultimately ended up being her undoing.
Her oversight of Rings of Power was truly a trainwreck to behold (the series has lost the majority of its audience after spending billions of dollars).
So long to Salke. She's off to greener pastures and, hopefully, our streaming services will be the better for it.
While it's been claimed it was her decision and that she will be moving on to producing, it's actually said that Amazon fired her — reportedly due to the recent James Bond deal and even the failure of The Rings of Power. Christopher Nolan might also have something to do with the decision ...
The Rings of Power is also cited as a factor. As the most expensive TV show in history, it's been reported that the series has lost a substantial portion of its viewership.
I can't say I'm surprised.
Salke and her crew just don't have that love for Lord of the Rings that's necessary to produce a quality work in the world of Middle Earth.
I think I speak for everyone when I say:
