Amazon MGM has tapped Quebecois filmmaker Denis Villeneuve to direct the next James Bond film, known as Bond 26. This will be Villeneuve's first involvement with the franchise, which sees a new lead actor taking over the role following Daniel Craig's departure. Villeneuve, a known Bond fan, expressed his commitment to honoring the franchise while also bringing new dimensions to it. With his extensive experience in visually stunning science fiction films, expectations are high for a technologically sophisticated Bond with elaborate villain lairs.
"I'm a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory... I share the 007 movies with my father since Dr. No with Sean Connery... This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honor."
Amazon MGM's choice is even more interesting when you factor Villeneuve's existing body of work, a number of which are expansive science fiction features that oscillate between refined and oppressive sensibilities.
