Wow. Almost four years after Daniel Craig’s mandate as James Bond ending final in “No Time to Die”, we finally have a director for the next film 007, and in a way, the filmmaker on the bridge is one of the most daring visionaries in Hollywood. The director nominated for Oscars Denis Villeneuve is officially at the head of “James Bond 26” and thinks that he is already boasting of a filmography which includes beloved intellectual properties such as “Blade Runner” and “Dune”. Adding link to your CV is really the ultimate Flex.
Amazon MGM Studios confirmed the news to Variety, with Denis Villeneuve himself sharing his official declaration, now that he is about to define the next generation of 007, which will probably be extended beyond cinematographic events on the big screen and in the world of streaming:
“Some of my first cinematographic memories are linked to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, since Dr. No ” with Sean Connery. I am a fan of Bond.
After the announcement earlier this year that Amazon had taken a total creative control over the James Bond franchise, bringing Denis Villeneuve is an undeniable victory for the franchise. Given the overall response to negotiations mixed with Amazon’s takeover (yours was really not satisfied), having one of the best filmmakers in the world will certainly bring a good will in the midst of all cynicism that film lovers have now expressed that the age of streaming will have an impact on the history of exclusive popular populsion. But before celebrating more, there is a major problem in the middle of this incredible news.
Denis Villeneuve always has a major commitment to Arrakis
Denis Villeneuve may already be impatient to take James Bond, but he should dismiss the Martinis for the moment in favor of the spice mixture. Yes, Villeneuve is currently about to complete its planned trilogy “Dune” with its adaptation of the suite of Frank Herbert, “Dune: Messie”. The third and last entry into the Villeneuve trilogy is looking to start the main photography this summer, with reports claiming that Robert Pattinson, still as busy, could join the film as a scytal. Legendary Pictures also seeks to publish the film in December 2026. Since he will be busy in Arrakis, do not expect to see “James Bond 26” made theaters before 2027 or 2028 at the earliest.
The two parts of Denis Villeneuve’s cinematographic adaptation of the first book “Dune” were universally acclaimed. Although “Dune: Part One” had to face Warnermedia’s disastrous decision to publish the entire film and date of the date and date of Warner Bros date in 2021 with HBO Max (a decision that Villeneuve himself despised), this has always brought in $ 410.6 million with a budget of $ 165 million. Regarding “Dune: the second part”, he reported 714.7 million dollars even more impressive with a budget of $ 190 million. The two films were nominated for the Academy Award for best film in their respective release years, although Villeneuve was terribly snubbed for the best director twice.
Denis Villeneuve will define the foundations for the next generation of 007
As he ends his commitments on Arrakis, Denis Villeneuve will be free to start bringing his vision of “James Bond 26” to life. Part of what makes his hiring so exciting is not only the fact that this will be another opportunity for him to put his final creative cachet on the most famous spy series in the cinema, but he will also define the bases of who, what and when our new 007 means. Villeneuve will have contributed to launching the 7th official actor to play James Bond, and if he will opt or not direct consequences, this film will revive an entirely new era which, for the best or for the worst, will include the benefits.
There is much to be cynical about Amazon’s takeover, but we can at least guarantee that Denis Villeneuve will not call him with “James Bond 26”. His brilliant work was on a powerful exhibition through smaller -scale human stories such as “prisoners”, “sicario” and “arrival”. As he made the jump to legendary franchises with “Blade Runner 2049” and his two films “Dune”, he had proven to be one of the final filmmakers of his generation in the development of significant projects on a massive scale which are unequivocal his distinct creative vision. Whatever time we have to wait until, his film Bond will be an essential theatrical experience that the public is looking forward to in the coming years.
