One of the writers of the James Bond film franchise has expressed concern over the impending merger between Amazon and MGM.
It was announced last week that Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer, the studio behind all previous entries in the Bond franchise (as well as the forthcoming No Time to Die) is being acquired by Amazon for $8.45bn (roughly £6bn).
MGM does not own the exclusive rights to Bond, however: the deal will see Amazon own a 50 per cent share in the property.
No Time to Die is expected to be released in cinemas on 30 September 2021, having faced a series of pandemic-related delays.
