I would've liked it if they did this when they rebooted with Daniel Craig. Some of them have been okay films but they've been shit as Bond films imo.
They've been doing this with a lot of things in recent (ish) years. Take an existing franchise, keep the genre and nouns, change everything else and spew out bastardized garbage to make as much money as possible. Repeat until everything people loved when they were younger is trashed.
As for this, since in the past a different actor didn't mean the character James Bond was a different person this seems more like a spin off in a way, but since they've rebooted things anyways it doesn't really apply. It does come across as a little forced and patronizing, that could just be the reporting though.
