Forenliebling Denis Villeneuve bekam vor Stunden einen neuen Job als Regisseur:
Denis Villeneuve is set to direct the next James Bond film for Amazon MGM Studios, the studio announced Wednesday.
Amy Pascal and David Heyman will produce, as previously announced, with Tanya Lapointe exec producing.
Gar nicht mitbekommen, aber das sind die Namen, die vorher fielen:
(...) Edward Berger, Edgar Wright, Jonathan Nolan and Paul King. Earlier, the sense was that Alfonso Cuarón, a frequent collaborator of producer Heyman, might be taking the gig.
Aber hat Villeneuve wirklich genug Zeit dafür?
The hiring of Villeneuve comes as a bit of a shock, given that he’ll be tied up for the foreseeable future with his third and final Dune film for Warner Bros and Legendary Entertainment, which is shooting this summer and slated for release on December 16, 2026. He’s (...) been linked to projects in development including Cleopatra; an adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke’s classic sci-fi novel Rendezcous with Rama; and Nuclear War: A Scenario, an adaptation of the work of non-fiction by Annie Jacobsen (...)
Er freut sich wirklich:
Villeneuve said, “Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery. I’m a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he’s sacred territory. I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come. This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honor.”
Großartige Wahl!
Bei dem geht noch viel weniger als bei West.
