Tony Gilroy It could be better known right now for his work on Star Wars series AndorBut long before Cassian Andor was trying to break down the empire, Gilroy was building a different type of espionage history, with Bourne’s identity series.
Well, it turns out that once he also had his eyes on another iconic light … James Bond.
During a recent appearance on The Rogue ONES podcast of the playlist, Gilroy dropped some fascinating details on a Bond film and on Steven Soderbergh once launched. It was an unconventional grip that would shake the Bond franchise in an interesting way.
“We wanted to return to the 1960s and do it in black and white and make Carnaby St. and do everything. I thought it was a really oscillating idea, like $ 30 million [budget]But he couldn’t get them … they wouldn’t have given control to anyone. “
A black and white bond film set in the 1960s oscillating? Lean, elegant and probably unlike anything we have ever seen in the franchise. I could have put myself behind this! But the idea has never passed beyond the pitch phase, thanks to the notoriously close creative socket of the franchise, especially under the long -standing management of Barbara Broccoli AND Michael G. Wilson.
Gilroy even had a bad guy ready to leave, even if for now he is keeping him blocked in the vault of Mi6. “I had a great villain,” he said, refusing to share more.
With Amazon who now owns MGM and the rights of bonds, the panorama is moving quickly. What has been a “no” difficult “five years ago could be a real possibility.
With Bond 26 still without notice and names such as Denis Villeneuve, Edgar WrightAND Jonathan Nolan Being floated, there are all the different types of ideas that could be explored. Gilroy is not really involved in anything that involves Bond right now, but this does not mean that the door is closed.
If Amazon really wants to breathe new life in Bond, let the bold narrators take creative oscillations could be the most intelligent move, and that’s probably for this reason they will not do it. I have the feeling that they will play it extremely safe with this franchise.
But I would certainly be interesting to see a great swing as a monochromatic bond thriller of the Mod era with a bad killer.
