The primary announcement since Amazon took over the franchise.
Denis Villeneuve is directing the following Bond film, which is each thrilling and barely suspicious, as a result of we not often get good issues like this. It is a wild get.
The person made Sicario, which felt like holding your breath for 2 hours and doubtless single-handedly altered movie music (beneath), and Blade Runner 2049, which someway made silence really feel louder than explosions. His Dune movies? Monuments to scale and restraint however nonetheless within the individuals caught contained in the equipment.
He’s certainly one of, if not my absolute favourite director working proper now, and giving him the keys to Bond appears like an indication somebody lastly desires to steer this factor someplace bold once more. If this actually is the beginning of a brand new period for 007, I’m all in. And for those who’re curious why I feel a status spy present is definitely the higher long-term format for Bond, be happy to waste your afternoon with my utterly pointless treatise on the topic.
