Trelve 02/20/25 9:42:29 AM #1:	https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1mn9gz5x3mo Amazon MGM Studios announces new joint venture with Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for James Bond franchise rights Amazon MGM Studios, Michael G. Wilson, and Barbara Broccoli today announced that they have formed a new joint venture to house the James Bond intellectual property rights, and those parties will remain co-owners of the franchise. Under the terms of the new venture, Amazon MGM Studios will gain creative control of the James Bond franchise following closing of the transaction. Since the MGM acquisition, Amazon has held rights to distribute all of the James Bond films, and as a result of this transaction will have creative control over future productions. It's over. Well, Bond has a good run. Reminder that Barbara Broccoli supposedly called Amazon execs 'fucking idiots' when she heard their ideas for Bond. <cite>Trelve posted [p:984106977] in Amazon now...

MLBloomy 02/20/25 11:35:04 AM #18:	Ian Fleming died in 1964. In countries with a life + 70 years copyright term, the character and novels he wrote would enter the public domain in about a decade. (The novels are already public domain in Canada, where the term was life + 50 until December 2022. That was extended to 70 to align with the US, but it didn't reapply copyrights to items that had already fallen into the public domain.) Once they're in the public domain, promoting new works would get tricky because the name is still trademarked. Given the frequency of Bond movies, the Broccolis probably figured their window on getting a big payday for the license was closing. <cite>MLBloomy posted [p:984108047] in Amazon now...

On the other hand, there's just too many dollar signs flashing in Amazon execs' eyes right now for Bond not to get the Marvel / Star Wars content mill treatment. And that's gonna be a really weird thing to see, at best.

Well, I can at least say they knew exactly what they were doing when they picked ~~New Vegas~~ as s2's setting: give the hardcore fans a massive hook while the more casual viewer can go 'oh, that's cool, post-apocalyptic ~~Vegas~~, baby!' (you can bet they'll be playing that aspect up heavily when they start advertising s2). --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:984108805] in Amazon now...
