The arrival of Apple to the television industry, in addition to the film industry, has been a new competitor for the big companies. According to the Deadline publication, Apple wants to become best friends with producer Bad Robot, behind which is JJ Abrams.
The Bad Robot production company has produced some of the latest Star Wars and Star Trek movies, as well as TV classics like Lost, Fringe or Alias without further afield. According to this publication, both Disney and Sony, Universal, Warner Bros and Apple are making different offers to JJ Abrams to start producing new content.
Apparently Bad Robot is letting himself be loved and it does not have a sheet of formal requests to the producers, but is waiting to see who is the company that offers the best conditions and freedom. Bad Robot is currently working with Paramount, which apparently has a link to JJ Abrams' company in exchange for an 8-figure sum.
Although JJ Abrams is not required to work exclusively for Paramount, the company seems to be upsetSince in the last 5 years, he has directed two Star Wars films for Disney instead of improving the final result obtained with the films The Cloverfiled Paradox and Overlord.
It is rumored that Disney is the candidate with the highest number of ballots to take over Bad Robot's services, thanks to the close friendship between Disney CEO Bob Iger and JJ Abrams. Disney plans to launch its own video streaming service later this year or early next year. Having Bad Robot would allow it to produce both movies and series thanks to the large amount of money that Disney can dedicate to this new project in the streaming video sector.
