In 2035 we will see James Bond in the public domain.\xa0 What does this mean for the franchise?\xa0 Not just for the movies, but the novels, and marketing.\xa0

George Simpson, Senior Film Reporter at the Daily Express joins us to discuss the article he wrote about this impact on the franchise. He explains what public domain means and why it is so important for James Bond but not for other franchises like Sherlock Holmes and The Marx Brothers.\xa0 Their material is already in the public domain. Eon Productions is in a tough spot here and they have 11 years to get it right. What do they need to do?\xa0

And, George Simpson gives Eon Productions some advice.\xa0
