Former Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke may be out, but evidently some of her ideas live on at the studio. Salke had advocated making 007 “less dangerous” and more kid-friendly to potentially expand the audience. Now recently appointed producers David Heyman and Amy Pascal have found the perfect way to do that while still adhering to the character’s literary origins, thus hopefully satisfying existing fans as well.The first James Bond movie from the tech giant will be based on a somewhat obscure book, a 1985 “adventure storybook” called Blackclaw’s Doomsday Plot. Published by PlayValue Books (A Division of Grosset & Dunlap) and written by John Albano, Blackclaw’s Doomsday Plot concerns SMERSH’s efforts to build a laser superweapon under the guidance of the colorfully costumed megalomaniac Blackclaw, “the ruthless head of the SMERSH laser project.” 
While James Bond himself has yet to be cast, the studio has announced a surprising choice to play the titular villain. Rami Malek will follow in the footsteps of Charles Gray and Joe Don Baker, playing two different characters in different Bond movies. But he will be the first actor to play different villains in back to back films. 
If Blackclaw's Doomsday Plot is the global hit Amazon executives think it will be, then they are poised to quickly follow it up with adaptations of other PlayValue Bond books, including two that were never even published. A studio insider reveals that plans are already underway to make the next movie Operation: Big Brain. "The book was never published... maybe never even written. But there's so much material just in that cover that we're confident it can be a movie. Bond's in a tuxedo kicking a freaking robot! What more could audiences want?"
