Amazon MGM takes creative control of James Bond franchise as family oversight ends

theglobeandmail.com

Amazon MGM has taken creative control of the James Bond franchise, ending decades of family oversight by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. They will step back while forming a joint venture with Amazon MGM to co-own Bond's intellectual property. This change marks the first time in over 60 years that a Broccoli will not oversee the production of a Bond film. The deal is expected to close this year, with no details on financial terms provided. The transition comes after tensions between the producers and Amazon MGM regarding the franchise's direction. No new Bond film has been announced, marking an unusually long gap for the series.
