Producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman aim to modernize the iconic franchise with a fresh direction, following Amazon's $1 billion acquisition of creative control.

Production on the next James Bond movie has officially started in London, with Amy Pascal and David Heyman leading the project.
Amazon MGM promises a 'fresh, exotic new chapter' for the franchise while maintaining its legacy, though casting and release details remain unconfirmed.
The new direction may feature a younger Bond and a retro setting, though these details are speculative and not officially announced.
