Per The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, this revelation comes from a U.K. tax filing made by EON Productions, the former 007 franchise production company run by Barbara Broccoli and her stepbrother, Michael G. Wilson. <\/p>\n The duo sold the rights to the Bond franchise to Amazon in February<\/a>, granting the tech giant complete creative control over all James Bond intellectual property, a stunning move that rankled some Bond fans and Amazon critics<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Next James Bonds Who Never Played 007 \u201cOn 20 February 2025, the company entered into an agreement for the sale of its interest in the Bond franchise, all associated assets as well as its subsidiary companies, B24 Limited and B25 Limited. The total consideration for the sale amounted to $20 million (USD),\u201d according to EON\u2019s filing.<\/p>\n But, as THR notes, it\u2019s likely Broccoli and Wilson will ultimately make far more than a mere $20 million off the franchise that their family had run since the 1960s.<\/p>\n According to the trade, \u201cthe Broccoli family will continue to have economic exposure to the Bond franchise through the joint venture structure of the deal. It is also possible that there are other elements like earnouts or stock options that could impact the value of the final sale price. Sources said at the time that the total value could be closer to $1 billion.\u201d<\/p>\n Amazon MGM Studios is actively developing the 26th James Bond film<\/a> with Dune\u2019s Denis Villeneuve<\/a> directing, David Heyman and Amy Pascal<\/a> producing, and Peaky Blinders\u2019 Steven Knight writing the screenplay.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
