James Bond He is officially entering a new era and he promises to be a bold departure from the family member. With Denis Villeneuve Now confirmed to direct Bond’s 26th film, Amazon is moving quickly, at least for standards of bonds, to build the next phase of the iconic franchise.
Having said that, do not expect to see 007 on the big screen until 2028. According to sources close to production, something before would be unrealistic given the scope of the film and the program full of Villeneuve.
Villeneuve beat some heavy beats for the director’s chair. Edward Berger, Edgar Wright, Paolo KingAND Jonathan Nolan According to reports, they were all in the mix. The director of Dune AND Blade Runner 2049 He expressed his desire for a long time to lead a Bond and Amazon film eventually gave him the light. The study is now focused on the flooding of a screenwriter and, of course, on the launch of the new face of Bond.
That face will be younger. According to reports, Amazon and the producers are looking for a British actor under 30 and the current list includes SALTBURN‘S Jacob Elordi, Spider-man‘S Tom HollandAND Harris Dickinson from Babygirl.
While Elordi is Australian, the insiders say he is not a dealbreaker, after all, George Lazenby It was too much, and once he wore the tuxedo On the secret service of His Majesty. Long -term contenders such as Aaron Taylor-Johnson (35), Henry Cavill (42) e Idris Elba (52) They are seen too old for what Amazon aims to build.
Alfonso Cuarón He was a first contender to direct, and was strongly driven by the manufacturer David Heyman due to their collaboration on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. But Cuarón eventually moved away to give priority to other projects, too JaneA Charlize Theron-Led movies also on Amazon.
Amazon has also made a serious attempt to land Christopher NolanAlso to the point of considering to break one of the longtime rules of the franchise, denying the final cut of the directors. That rule, applied for decades by Barbara Broccoli AND Michael WilsonIt was one of the ways in which Eon Productions has maintained creative control.
But the broccoli family has now returned from daily creative supervision and maintains only financial participation. Nolan, however, is not available for the near future as it is deep in pre-production The odyssey.
As for Villeneuve, his bond agreement is only one fact. He is not signed for any sequels and will not have a final cut. Even before starting to roll the cameras on Bond, he undertakes in filming Dune: Messiahwhich aims at a version of December 2026.
Amazon’s next move is to block a writer and while Jonathan Nolan It was floated as a strong candidate, according to what was reported he was welcomed with his tone, he is linked to the series Fall and not available. However, there is no shortage of talents surrounding the property and Amazon is determined to define a new identity for their version of bonds.
Bond 26 It could still be a few years old, but the new direction will involve a younger 007, a more cinematic director and the first big restart in a new study.
