Amazon鈥檚 ambition is to 鈥榳in an Oscar鈥
Print Edition
US online retail giant Amazon said yesterday it plans to produce 16 feature films a year, throwing down the gauntlet to Netflix, whose African war drama “Beasts of No Nation” may be headed for Oscar glory in February.
“We want to win an Oscar,” Amazon boss Jeff Bezos told yesterday’s edition of German daily Die Welt.
With its Prime subscription service, Amazon has invested in boosting its video content, and like Netflix has gone into original production, in TV series and now in cinema.
Amazon won five Emmys for the TV comedy series “Transparent” this year.
The feature films will hit the big screen and be quickly available on Amazon’s online service.
Netflix for its part is targeting 10 feature releases while roughly doubling its production of TV series to 31 next year.
Bezos said he is also considering acquiring the rights to rebroadcast world football championships such as the English Premier League and Germany’s Bundesliga.
The Amazon boss also said he was awaiting the green light for a planned “Prime Air” service in the future to deliver retail goods to customers by drones.
“The technology is already developed,” he added.
