The appointment of Amy Pascal and David Heyman is the first step in Amazon’s plan to relaunch the British spy franchise, after taking full creative control last month.
Amazon MGM Studios film chief Courtenay Valenti said the pair would “deliver to global audiences storytelling that upholds the impeccable legacy of this beloved character.”
She is no stranger to the Bond franchise. During her tenure, Sony Pictures released 007 films Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace and Skyfall.
His other credits include Gravity, Barbie, and the Paddington films.
Craig’s final outing, No Time to Die – the 25th James Bond film – was released in 2021 and earned US$775 million (RM3.43 billion).
In 2022, Amazon bought storied Hollywood studio MGM, which held distribution rights to Bond’s extensive back catalog.
The franchise had been closely guarded by the Broccoli family since 1962’s Dr. No. They famously insisted on preserving the integrity of the Bond character and brand, resisting spin-offs and licensing that many industry experts expect to see following Amazon’s takeover.
“We are humbled to follow in the footsteps of Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson who made so many extraordinary films and honored and excited to keep the spirit of Bond very much alive as he embarks on his next adventure.” – AFP
