James Bond: The Next Chapter for the Film Franchise

As the publishers of Ian Fleming’s literary work, we are deeply grateful to Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for their remarkable stewardship and vision. Their imagining of James Bond on screen has created one of the world’s great film franchises and has led the incredible success of the British film industry. 

We are enormously excited about the next phase of the James Bond story on film under Amazon’s creative leadership and are confident in their new stewardship of Ian Fleming’s extraordinary creation. James Bond will return!

The Fleming family would like to add to the tributes to EON and the Broccoli family – Cubby Broccoli in the early days and then Barbara and her brother Michael G. Wilson. Their achievement with James Bond is nothing less than astonishing – 25 films over a period of 60 years, all known and loved the world over. They have always respected the legacy of Ian Fleming and his words and his original depiction of Agent 007. We wish Barbara and Michael a happy future and send them our sincere thanks.

We look forward to the future and await the dossier from M.
