Good luck to David Heyman and Amy Pascal, who are in talks to shepherd the next iteration of James Bond. The veteran producers have been among the names rumored in the British press in the weeks since Amazon shocked the town by acquiring full control of the Bond franchise from Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, but now I’m told reps for Heyman and Pascal are negotiating their deals. Amazon declined to comment, and nothing can be official until the Broccoli transaction closes, which is still a ways off. But they’re the choice of Amazon execs Mike Hopkins, Jen Salke, and Courtenay Valenti, and barring some impasse, the announcement will happen.
