Apple intends to acquire the rights to James Bond
Tech giants Apple and Amazon have joined the fight for the rights to Bond. The Hollywood Reporer reports this with reference to its sources. It is argued that Apple, in particular, is ready to fully buy out the franchise and offer MGM an amount more than the major Hollywood studios Warner Bros. Universal and Fox. The cost of "Bond" can range from two to five billion dollars. This is a rather modest amount by the standards of a company like Apple. Recall that at one time, comparable investments allowed the Walt Disney Corporation to acquire assets like Pixar or Marvel, which led to a stable multi-billion dollar profit. However, unlike other popular brands, Bondiana previously developed only in one form - full-length movies. It is likely that the new applicants have other plans to use the potential of agent 007. Let's also remind that the 25th episode of "Bond" will be presented to viewers in November 2019. British actor Daniel Craig agreed to play the title role in it again. Most likely, his participation in the creation of the anniversary episode will be his last meeting with James Bond. The Topic of Article: Apple intends to acquire the rights to James Bond. |
