Overview
- Campbell, who introduced two Bonds with GoldenEye and Casino Royale, says the new film does not need a reboot and should simply be a “bloody good Bond film.”
- He argues the role does not require a marquee star and credits Barbara Broccoli for backing Daniel Craig before he was widely known.
- Denis Villeneuve is confirmed to direct the next James Bond movie, which will be the first released by Amazon MGM Studios.
- Villeneuve has called himself a die-hard fan and pledged to honor the franchise’s tradition while charting new missions.
- Steven Knight is reported as the screenwriter, and industry reporting suggests the search may target a younger, relatively unknown British actor once casting begins.
