Just when it looked like MGM’s future might be settled thanks to the potential deal with Spyglass that would take it into pre-packed bankruptcy, India’s Sahara decided to spoil the show with a $2 billion offer. However, it is now rumoured that there is more to this deal than meets the eye, with an article in Bloomberg stating:
“The Broccoli family, producers of the James Bond movies and co-owners of the franchise with Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer Inc., are involved in Sahara India Pariwar’s $2 billion bid to buy the debt-laden studio, said a person with knowledge of the offer.”
However, even if that deal goes ahead, who knows what it might mean for the James Bond films; perhaps they would have less interference from the money men, but only time will tell.
