Apple (and Amazon) bidding on distribution rights for Bond franchise

Tatiana Siegel and Borys Kit writing for The Hollywood Reporter:

The James Bond sweepstakes has taken an unexpected turn. While Warner Bros. remains in the lead to land film distribution rights to the megafranchise – whose deal with Sony expired after 2015’s Spectre – a couple of unlikely suitors have emerged that also are in hot pursuit: Apple and Amazon.

Franchise. Big Franchise.
