Earlier today, Amazon bought MGM for $8.5 billion, and everyone is abuzz with what they're going to do with the movies. Sure, having 4,000 titles available to put onto your platform is amazing, and controlling franchises like James Bond seems like a smart move too, but where will they go in the future? 

Well, while we were all speculating, the author of Amazon Unbound: Jeff Bezos and the Invention of a Global Empire, Brad Stone, pointed us to a page in his biography of Amazon's CEO, where he talks about the kinds of stories he wants to focus on. 

That's a pretty interesting list of wildly diverse ideas. It seems like some of MGM's properties would fit in there, if they want to remake them, but my hope is that they're buying original scripts to produce under MGM's banner as well. 

Do you have an idea that fits into Bezos' favorite storylines? 

Let us know about it in the comments.
