The most well liked function in Hollywood stays unfilled because the world continues to be ready to seek out out who will play James Bond within the subsequent film. Daniel Craig has made it clear he doesn’t care who takes over the function, however that doesn’t imply he’s not going to have somewhat enjoyable with the query.
Over the weekend was the fifteenth Governor’s Ball in Los Angeles and through the occasion, the producers of the James Bond franchise, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, have been honored with the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award. Craig launched them, and (by way of Folks) stated…
Let’s simply get one thing out of the way in which. Should you got here right here this night to seek out out who the subsequent James Bond is, do not take a look at me, however he may be within the room. I am simply joking. Possibly I am not.
It’s not reported if any of the quite a few folks rumored to be the subsequent Bond have been within the room, however you need to determine that anyone within the function hoped that Daniel Craig wasn’t kidding. Even when a call was made proper now, it appears unlikely Craig would know, however who is aware of?
Whereas it’s doable {that a} determination has been made and easily not but introduced, that form of info would have nearly actually leaked by now, so the extra probably state of affairs is that no selection has but been made.
It’s been greater than three years since Daniel Craig stated goodbye to the function with No Time To Die. From the time the film was first introduced we knew it could be Craig’s final time within the function, so if Broccoli and Wilson had needed to start out their seek for a brand new Bond, they may have completed it way back to then.
The manufacturing duo made it clear they have been in no rush to discover a new Bond and that actually seems to have been the case. There have been stories of individuals assembly with Broccoli and Evans however no indication that something is shifting ahead. Latest feedback from the top of MGM make it clear the studio wish to get shifting on the subsequent James Bond sooner moderately than later, however no person is feeling determined fairly but.
It was 5 years between the discharge of License to Kill, the ultimate Bond film starring Timothy Dalton, and the announcement that Pierce Brosnan could be taking on the function, so we nonetheless have a while earlier than this present hole turns into record-setting.
For the reason that subsequent James Bond film won’t be a direct continuation of the earlier period, the way in which the Bond motion pictures have been dealt with for thus a few years, the folks making the subsequent James Bond film must resolve the place they wish to begin. That could be the rationale they’re taking their time. Nonetheless, wherever the subsequent James Bond is correct now, he’s on the market someplace.
