Pascal & Heyman’s recent hiring as the new 00-producers was the first promising step we’ve seen in the march to Bond 26. Prompted by EON Productions’ producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson stepping down from the family business, the turmoil surrounding the post-Daniel Craig future appeared to subside.

Since it was announced that Amazon MGM Studios is taking complete creative control over the James Bond franchise, not a day goes by without a tidbit of information about the next installment of the historic franchise.

That’s because producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman have been tapped to produce the next Bond installment. They were appointed by Amazon MGM’s head of film Courtenay Valenti, who newly reports to chair Mike Hopkins after Jen Salke’s exit as studio chief.
