James Bond producers hand over full creative control to Amazon after 60 years
Daniel Craig as James Bond in No Time to Die.
The long-serving producers behind James Bond have handed over creative control of the beloved franchise to Amazon MGM Studios.
Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli made the announcement on Thursday after a deal was forged with the entertainment giant to release on to it the intellectual property rights of the British spy tales.
Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman launched the Bond films in 1962, with Broccoliβs daughter and stepson later taking over.
The family have been producing the films through their UK-based company Eon, which is behind some of its biggest commercial successes, including Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace and Skyfall.
