Amazon MGM Studios Gains Creative Control of James Bond Franchise From Broccoli Family
The Broccoli family, which has long controlled the 007 franchise, will hand over creative control of the series to Amazon MGM Studios in a new joint venture with the studio. Amazon will now control who will play Bond, who will write the next script, and when the film goes into production. The financial terms of the joint venture have not been disclosed. Amazon and the Broccoli family have been at odds since the tech company acquired the rights to release Bond movies about three years ago.
