Amazon Takes Full Control of James Bond Franchise, Eyes 2027 Film Release

Amy Pascal and David Heyman are reportedly in talks to develop the next Bond movie as Amazon prioritizes a theatrical release over spin-offs or TV projects.

Amazon has finalized its acquisition of full creative control over the James Bond franchise, ending decades of leadership by Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.
Amy Pascal, with prior Bond experience, and David Heyman, known for Harry Potter, are in discussions to lead the development of the next Bond film.
The upcoming Bond movie is reportedly allocated a £250 million budget, with plans to complete filming by the end of 2026 for a 2027 release.
The franchise's new direction under Amazon prioritizes a theatrical release before exploring spin-offs or television adaptations.
The transition from Broccoli and Wilson to the new creative team must be completed before any official announcements are made.
