A new report suggests the rights to the James Bond franchise could be up for sale.
The rights to Bond alone would make buying MGM a seriously attractive proposition for potential bidders, and with James Bond 25 set for a 2019 release, it shouldn’t take long for offers to roll in.
MGM has distributed all the James Bond movies – including unofficial entries like Sean Connery’s Never Say Never Again – but now it seems the rights are up for sale.
The Bond series is one of the longest-running in cinema, having started with 1962’s Dr No.
