Amy Pascal, David Heyman Eyed to Run James Bond Franchise for Amazon MGM Studios


Amy Pascal, David Heyman, two of Hollywood's most successful producers, may be enlisted to oversee the James Bond franchise for Amazon MGM.

The pair are described as being “in talks.” No deal can be signed, however, until the streamer finalizes its pact to buy creative control from Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, the producers whose family has overseen all things 007 for decades. In addition to producing the “Spider-Man” franchise, she also is involved in such critical hits as “Challengers” and “Little Women.” At Sony, Pascal oversaw the studio’s deal to distribute several Bond films, including “Skyfall,” the highest-grossing movie in the history of the spy series. Heyman is also familiar with the demands of overseeing a massive franchise like Bond, having played a similar role on the Harry Potter films and its less beloved “Fantastic Beasts” spinoff series.
