Denis Villeneuve to Direct Next James Bond 007 Film

[Lootpack]

Villeneuve will exec produce the new Bond alongside Tanya Lapointe, with Amy Pascal and Heyman producing, as previously announced.

Commented Mike Hopkins, head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, “We are honored that Denis has agreed to direct James Bond’s next chapter. He is a cinematic master, whose filmography speaks for itself. From Blade Runner 2049 to Arrival to the Dune films, he has delivered compelling worlds, dynamic visuals, complex characters, and—most importantly—the immersive storytelling that global audiences yearn to experience in theaters. James Bond is in the hands of one of today’s greatest filmmakers and we cannot wait to get started on 007’s next adventure.”

Pascal and Heyman added, “Denis Villeneuve has been in love with James Bond movies since he was a little boy. It was always his dream to make this movie, and now it’s ours, too. We are lucky to be in the hands of this extraordinary filmmaker.”

Nah. Haven't

It’s not an action movie, but a pretty dialog driven thriller, Denis can do great dialogue. I mean hell, the dialog was sparse in Sicario but the dinner scene at the end has some of the best dialogue and tension I’ve ever seen.

Welp they never letting that man direct another original film lol.

Great pick though. I will say though…Bond should always be a white man. He is the definition of the white male chauvinist, slash secret agent who waltzes into any location without a disguise and blends in. That’s a white guy. It is what it is.

 

[jwinfield]
