As both a tentpole and an artifact, the new James Bond movie now belongs to the increasingly voracious Jeff Bezos. Most of it, anyway.

John Logan, the Oscar nominated screenwriter whose credits include working on James Bond pics Skyfall and Spectre, has said that Amazon acquiring MGM, with its back catalogue that features the Bond films, makes him worried for the future of the franchise.

Last week, it was announced that Amazon has acquired MGM and its vast library of films and TV series. And as part of that massive deal, the tech company has become 50% owner of one of the most storied franchises in all of film—the James Bond film series.

The private footage of a TV billionaire is going to belong to an actual billionaire!” In the wake of Amazon’s $8.45 billion acquisition of MGM, Stephen Colbert urged Jeff Bezos to release outtakes from Donald Trump’s “The Apprentice.”“Someday soon, Bezos may release the most racist thing in the MGM catalog, other than ‘Gone With the Wind,'” Colbert joked last night on “The Late Show.”For years, allegations have surfaced about Trump’s inappropriate

Amazon’s planned $8.45 billion acquisition of MGM got a chilly reception from some Capitol Hill lawmakers, but there may not be much that they can do to stop it.

Jassy, meanwhile, has been with Amazon since 1997 and spearheaded the launch of Amazon Web Services, the company’s cloud business, in 2003.

When the announcement of the deal between Amazon and MGM was made, the film franchise that got spoken about most in the acquisition is the James Bond film series. While MGM doesn’t own the complete rights for the franchise, as James Bond is creatively controlled by the production duo of Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson, Amazon is now the parent company of the studio that will distribute the 007 spy films.

Jeff Bezos is ready for Amazon to get its hands on MGM’s extensive library, which the tech giant just bought for $8.45 billion on Wednesday.“The acquisition thesis here is really very simple: MGM has a vast deep catalogue of much beloved intellectual property.
