Amazon’s MGM Studios gains creative control over ‘James Bond’ franchise

Amazon’s MGM Studios will take creative control of the “James Bond” film franchise under a new joint venture with longtime rights holders Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, the technology giant said on Thursday.

The move clears uncertainty over one of Hollywood’s most popular and longest-running movie series after a December report in the Wall Street Journal said that relations between Broccoli and Amazon had strained, dampening hopes of a new film.
