This week MGM and Eon are hearing pitches from five studios.
MGM and Eon are offering a ONE-FILM deal. Speculate as you like on whether that means theyre launching a new era with
Bond 25 or staging a send-off for the current one.
The other studios vying for the deal are
Warner Brothers, Universal, 20th Century Fox...and Annapurna Pictures.
That last detail is the most intriguing. Eon has long been a mom & pop (or more accurately, a pop & pop, then a pop & kids) shop; partnering with fellow upstart Megan Ellison might be an attractive option for the Broccolis for reasons professional and personal. Just a couple mavericks, out there making the most enduring franchise in cinema history. For Annapurna it would be an obvious game-changer. And what turns the franchise might take under that partnership - even for one film - are exciting to ponder.
