Jeff Bezos says Amazon can 'reimagine' studio franchises 'for the 21st century' in the wake of the ecommerce giant’s $8.45 billion acquisition of MGM

was driven by a desire to obtain the storied studio’s intellectual property — and create new offshoots based on that.

He continued, “The acquisition’s thesis here is really very simple: MGM has a vast, deep catalog of much-loved intellectual property. With the talented people at MGM and Amazon Studios, we can reimagine and develop that IP for the 21s century… People who love stories are going to be the big beneficiaries.”for $8.45 billion .

HighSierraMan Let me tell you about MGM, HighSierraMan. When I got my first film biz job in 1974 I worked with an elderly man who had just retired from MGM, his last job being to shut down their exchanges around the country because the studio was closing. 1/2

It’s all the same day and the same people guys, and doing the exact same thing as before. DontBeFooled. Nothing can be re-imagined by people with zero imagination.

Maybe just wanted 2 get unedited footage of Trump from The Apprentice? + get the MGM archives & franchises, like 007.

Jeff isn't happy enough he has destroyed thousands of small family businesses, now he wants to kill off as much independent cinema as he can.

I wonder if this means anything for Movies Anywhere.

MGM is no MCU or DCU! James Bond franchises in this woke era, is controversial to say the least!

I love to see him try

They now own The Handmaids Tale😔

Ben-Hur... in space.

Doesn’t sound good at all.

Do not touch JamesBond

They have to reimagine the Amazon Prime Video layout too, it looks like it was designed by a child

Can’t they just stick to ruining shopping?

DONT YOU FUCKING DARE!

Personally I can get all movies- series off my local library a year late? Good enough for me.. never used streaming services, doubt ever will.
