We’re thrilled to share that Amazon MGM Studios, alongside industry veterans Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, has embarked on a groundbreaking joint venture to manage the James Bond intellectual property rights. This strategic partnership means that Amazon MGM Studios will take the reins on creative direction for upcoming productions, while Wilson and Broccoli will continue as co-owners of this iconic franchise.

A Legacy of Excellence

 

“Since his debut on the big screen over 60 years ago, James Bond has become one of the most recognizable figures in cinematic history,” stated Mike Hopkins, head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios. “We owe a debt of gratitude to the late Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman for introducing James Bond to audiences worldwide, and to Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for their unwavering commitment to preserving the legacy of this beloved franchise. We are excited to carry forward this cherished heritage and look forward to ushering in the next chapter of the legendary 007 for fans around the globe.”

Transitioning Leadership

 

“Having spent nearly 60 remarkable years in the 007 universe, I am now stepping back from producing the James Bond films to dedicate my time to artistic and charitable endeavors,” shared Wilson. “Barbara and I believe it’s the right moment for our trusted partner, Amazon MGM Studios, to guide James Bond into the future.”

Honoring a Rich Legacy

 

“My life has been devoted to upholding and enhancing the extraordinary legacy passed down to Michael and me by our father, producer Cubby Broccoli,” Broccoli remarked. “I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with four incredibly talented actors who have portrayed 007, along with countless wonderful artists in the industry. With the release of No Time to Die and Michael’s retirement from film production, I feel it’s time to shift my focus to other projects.”

Amazon’s Strategic Acquisition

 

In 2022, Amazon made a significant move by acquiring MGM, which includes an extensive catalog of over 4,000 films and 17,000 TV shows. Since this acquisition, Amazon has held the distribution rights to all James Bond films, positioning itself as a key player in the entertainment landscape.
