Amazon MGM Studios is set to take creative control of the James Bond franchise.
The shock announcement — which is sure to shake and, indeed, stir the industry — was made Thursday, alongside the news that long-time producers and custodians of 007, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, would be stepping back.
As per details of the arrangement, Amazon MGM Studios, Wilson and Broccoli have formed a new joint venture to house the James Bond intellectual property rights. The three parties will remain co-owners of the iconic franchise but Amazon MGM will have creative control.
Get ready for some slop!
This is terrible and terrifying.
well, it’s disappointing Endy, lol, yeah
RIP that franchise, it’s cooked
This should be less surprising than it seems on face value, as James Bond is set to hit the public domain so both parties might just be in a rush to get new Bond movies in development at this point
NoRight Time to DieGet ready to be nostalgic for the Roger Moore era.
I discarded appreciation and fuck given decades ago. The fuck are you really being surprised by? Really.
The Broccoli’s sold out I guess
