00:06Pascal and Heyman have been tapped by Amazon MGM to steer the new Bond film,
00:11the first to be produced by someone outside the Broccoli family.
00:14Pascal will produce the film via Pascal Pictures, with Heyman producing via Hay Day films.

00:43the producers whose family has been producing 007 movies since the 1960s,
00:48to take over creative control of the Bond franchise.

01:03and honored and excited to keep the spirit of Bond very much alive as he embarks on his next adventure.
