Amazon MGM Plans ‘Fresh, Exotic New’ James Bond Movie That’s ‘Getting Started’ Now in London

Amazon is planning a "fresh, exotic" new James Bond movie.

“We are committed to honoring the legacy of this iconic character while bringing a fresh, exotic new chapter to audiences around the world alongside Amy [Pascal] and David [Heyman],” the studio’s executives Courtenay Valenti and Sue Kroll said Wednesday night on stage at Caesars Palace. Earlier this year, long-time producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli made the shocking decision to step back from the James Bond franchise and cede creative control to Amazon MGM. With Amazon’s $8.5 billion purchase of MGM in 2021, the streamer acquired the rights to distribute all James Bond films but only owned 50% of the franchise and was relegated to being a passive partner in terms of artistic choices.
