JJ Abrams' production company moves away from Apple

J.J. Abrams

Apple is betting very strongly on its new streaming video service, a service that it presented on March 25 and of which we only know what it will be called: Apple TV +. Regarding the price, we will have to wait until autumn, at which point Apple said it will be officially launched.

In recent years, JJ Abrams has become in one of the most prolific directors in the world of science fiction, both in film and television. Apple may have all the money in the world, but it doesn't always get what it wants and JJAbrams, one of the most sought-after directors is no exception.

Apple, like Netflix and Amazon, were competing with WarnerMedia for the services of Abrams' Bad Robot production company, a bid that Warner has finally won, thus prolonging the relationship that has united them since 2006.

It is rumored that the agreement reached with Warner is valued at about $ 500 million. This agreement includes the creation and development of exclusive projects for WarnerMedia in addition to the development of films, television series for digital platforms.

WarnerMedia, which has not yet presented its streaming video platform, their announcement is scheduled for the last quarter of this year, they have managed to keep Abrams with them, as it has been considered a high priority for the company.

It is not the first time that you have missed the opportunity to do business with Abrams, aslast February he did it against HBO. However, he has managed to reach a specific agreement with Abrams, thanks to the freedom that Warner has always given him, and currently has two projects in development, being one of them the series starring Jennifer Garner.

Clearly it's a great missed opportunityAlthough there are many other names on Apple's list willing to create exclusive content for Apple TV +.
