Must read

In breaking news from one of the world’s most famous film franchises, speculation and rumours are rife as to who may be the person to step into those shoes vacated by Daniel Craig to play the world’s favourite secret agent, it would appear that it’s now anyone’s guess.

But get this, Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson have owned the James Bond franchise since taking over from Barbara’s father, Cubby Broccoli, and Harry Saltzman, who started making the 007 films back in 1962.

Well they have sold all intellectual rights and creative control of the franchise to Amazon MGM Studios while retaining ownership.

So now the world’s richest man, Jeff Bezos, is resharing the news, asking fans who they’d pick to play 007.

She was great at the AFL, much better than the Swans.
