James Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli are stepping back from the franchise, ceding creative control to Amazon MGM. The duo has announced a historic agreement to form a joint venture with the studio, ensuring the intellectual property rights of the 007 franchise remain intact.
Wilson, who co-wrote scripts for several Bond films, plans to retire from producing, focusing on art and charitable projects instead. Broccoli, however, will continue working in film production but prioritize other ventures.
The move marks a significant shift in the franchise’s future, with Amazon MGM taking creative control over future projects. Actor Daniel Craig expressed his respect and admiration for Wilson and Broccoli, wishing them well in their respective endeavors.
