Five Hollywood studios are currently engaged in a bidding war for the rights to the James Bond film franchise.
Their agreement with MGM and EON Productions expired following the release of Spectre in 2015, and since then Bond has been up for grabs.
A handful of studios are now putting together presentations to impress MGM and EON, hoping that they can become the next company to distribute 007’s forthcoming adventure.
The property had called Sony home for the better part of a decade, beginning when Daniel Craig took over the role of 007 in 2006’s Casino Royale.
