movie Bond 26: Amazon wants MCU'd spin-offs, Broccoli calls them '******* idiots'

[Virgos Groove]

Late 2026, at the ­earliest. Maybe 2027. Perhaps even 2028.

Quote

There is no script, no title, not even a director – though I'm told a small number of contenders have been summoned to Eon Productions' London HQ for what have been described as "a first round of speed dates". No setting has been chosen, no source material selected, from the Ian Fleming novels or elsewhere. There's obviously no singer for the title theme either.

Quote

Craig is said to have been ­romancing a number of Gulf state cultural funds for backing, including one operated by the Doha Film Institute in Qatar. Given the region's ongoing soft-power grab in the film world, it's also possible that the first mission for Craig's successor as Bond might take him out there, so he can marvel at the glamorous hyper-modernity of whichever nation coughs up the most.

Quote

But who? Wishful thinkers pine for Christopher Nolan, but Eon is almost certainly looking for another Campbell: a safe and seasoned pair of hands without the sort of distinctive personal style that would impinge on Bond's own.

It could theoretically opt again for Campbell, who marshalled both Brosnan and Craig's debuts with aplomb, and is still working at 80. But another name understood to be on Eon's radar is Germany's Edward Berger, whose reputation soared last year with his multi-Oscar and Bafta-winning adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front. (His follow-up, an adaptation of the Robert Harris papal thriller Conclave, is out later this year.)

Quote

The veteran studio screenwriter Kelly Marcel, of Fifty Shades of Grey and the Venom films, has also been linked – let's see how her directorial debut, Venom: The Last Dance, goes down this October. Australia's David Michôd (Animal Kingdom) has too, while younger names such as Bart Layton (The Imposter) and Yann Demange ('71) would also be plausible choices. "Any of my clients would drop everything for Bond," an agent tells me. "Despite the obvious pressure, for all but the very biggest working filmmakers it's a dream gig – career-changingly high profile and absurdly well paid. And who doesn't have ideas about how to do James Bond?"

Okay, but we need Daddy Villeneuve to direct and Raye to do the theme.

Thank you, Casino Royale is my favorite, with Skyfall being second. I don't use the rest..

[Johnny Jacobs]

Lana should 

 

It's time 

[LegaMyth]

Bond needs an update. 

 

The bond girls from the 60s and 70s were smart, skilled fighters, and absolutely beautiful. Bring that back.

[Sawk]

Istfg if Lana doesn't get the theme this time 

[fridayteenage]

gap to the first Brosnan film: 6 years

gap to the first Craig film: 4 years

 

so I guess 6 years would be kinda in line, though the last film taking 6 years was a thing.

How can you do this and be in line to write again. Even if his scripts were ruined by their directors, it is very unlikely that Venom 3 would be better (would like to be suprised).

However, the rumour mill is churning with anticipation as an announcement from EON Films is expected soon, potentially within the next few months, hinting at not just one but multiple James Bond flicks on the horizon.

 

Ajay Chowdhury, an entertainment lawyer and die-hard Bond enthusiast, has hinted that the big reveal regarding the next chapter in the Bond saga could be made by producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson on November 17, coinciding with their receipt of the prestigious Irving G Thalberg award.

Quote

He suggests that the upcoming Bond film might be closer to kicking off than we've been led to believe, hinting that a big reveal could include plans for not just one movie but a trio of thrilling escapades. "When Barbara Broccoli says they have no script, I think that's technically true. They've got a concept and a plan to reinvent the franchise. They're not going to make a one-off film and see how it does at the cinema like they did in the past."

"It's a big decision," she told the Associated Press while talking about who could take the mantle from Daniel Craig, who retired from the role after 2021's No Time To Die.

 

The next actor to play James Bond will be "a man". "He'll likely be in his 30s. Whiteness is not a given," the news agency reported.

 

He will have to agree to doing at least a decade's worth of films in their contract.

The Independent

 

Announce it already!

[Miles.]

Raye doing the soundtrack would be earth-shattering.  No offence to anyone else, but I think she could do something truly iconic and cinematic in a way that no one else could.  

 

For Bond, Theo or ATJ please  

[dumbsparce]

MBJ pls  

 

Spoiler

And Gaga as the Bond girl

Not a snowball's chance in hell.

 

For a start off she's not British, and a British singer is going to have a big head start on this.
