Isn't Villenueve doing Dune next?

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Should really get Neil Breen to direct. Double Down is the best James Bond movie that doesn't have Bond in it.

Waste of talent. Breen needs to write, direct, and lead, or what's the point? Give Breen a hundred thousand dollars, and 13 episodes on Netflix. Make it an anthology series. Money will be made. Laptops will be broken. Hearts will be stolen.

 

[Falchion]

Villeneuve.

Do it.

This is what I'm hoping for too.

Villenueve has released five films since 2010, four of which have gathered critical acclaim (Enemy being the exception). His sixth film is this year with Blade Runner. Arrival last year got an an Oscar nomination for BP. Nolan has released seven films since 2005 (Batman Begins), including Dunkirk. Villenueve isn't just some flavor of the month or year and has a pretty established library at this point.

I guess I`ve missed the boat?! To me, Nolan became big after Batman Begins happened despite having a few critically acclaimed movies previously. Didn`t know about Vellu until Prisoners happened. However if he blew as some big name director before that, I`m just my view as if it was the general public perception, which means I`m completely wrong.

 

[Discotheque]

no to villeneuve. as cool as that would be man needs a break for a bit to get ready for Dune.

 

[polyh3dron]

Fucking Purvis and Wade.. well, as long as they get a good writer to basically start a new script from scratch after they’re done like with Casino Royale then it’ll be fine.

 

[xandaca]

They'd better not be planning to reboot again any time soon. One was more than enough, even if the movie itself was good. Tie up Craig's stories, then go back to standalones with a guy who looks sort-of-but-not-especially like him. You know, like back in t'day.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

It's so hard to believe the same two dudes wrote all of those four movies.

First two were coherent, but after that... well...

fuck those guys. can't wait til they leave the franchise one day or get their stuff rewritten

Villeneuve would be a neat pick, but I think I'd prefer him to do something else instead.

He's seemingly on a quest to make a movie in every major franchise, so why not

A Bond movie with the atmosphere and tension of Sicario and Prisoners would be something special

Small update on this: Craig is reportedly pushing Villenueve for the job

Hoping that works out but I'm skeptical if only because Dune seems like a passion project for Villenueve and I'm not sure he would put that aside to direct Bond.

Wow. I thought for sure that Villeneuve would never be a realistic option here, but if Craig is trying to push for him to do the film, maybe it does have a chance of actually happening.

 

[NealMcCauley]

Maybe that means we can get another Deakins Bond movie.

 

[TrumanBurbank]

Denis directing.

Deakins cinematography

Zimmer soundtrack

Yes please.

 

[Einchy]

Damn, everyone wants a piece of Denis Villeneuve now but shouldn't he be busy with Dune?

 

[number11]

As prolific as Denis is, I can’t see him doing both Bond and Dune. He’s gonna have a ton of other chances to direct Bond if he wants to.

"After the egregious length of time between Quantum of Solace and Skyfall, the Bond films will start coming out much quicker", they said.

 

[RustyNails]

He is, which means he wont be doing Bond. The spice must flow.

It'd be a waste.
just shit one out, and focus on having a killer reboot.

Blehhhhhh no Craig, no. Don’t waste talent on a Bond film.

 

[Fancy Clown]

But what if he makes an awesome Bond film? Would it still be a waste?

I think work on the script only just started recently, so it's not that far along yet.

But what if he makes an awesome Bond film? Would it still be a waste?

Yeah, personally I'm much more interested in a Villeneuve Bond than a Villeneuve Dune reboot.

Oh damnit I'm late.
