UK Next James Bond Movie Will Be a 'Complete Reinvention' For the Series

007’s next outing will completely reinvent the James Bond series. According to producer Barbara Broccoli, the 26th Bond movie will reinvent who James Bond is… but they haven’t found an actor to take up the mantle just yet.


“Nobody’s in the running,” she said in a new story via Deadline. “We’re working out where to go with him, we’re talking that through. There isn’t a script, and we can’t come up with one until we decide how we’re going to approach the next film because, really, it’s a reinvention of Bond. We’re reinventing who he is and that takes time. I’d say that filming is at least two years away.”

Broccoli’s comments were made during a BFI Fellowship dinner where she and Michael G. Wilson were honored for their fellowship. The pair were awarded their fellowships by series regulars Ralph Fiennes and Naomie Harris… and it seems that Fiennes couldn’t help but quip that he’s on-hand and ready to train up the new 007.

“[You] killed Bond,” he joked, referencing Daniel Craig’s exit in No Time to Die. “Naomie and I are the people to fix it. You find him and we’ll train him.”

Of course, Broccoli previously stated that the search for the next James Bond would begin in 2022 after Craig’s dramatic exit prompted speculation about who would become the world’s greatest spy in his wake.

“We're not thinking about it at all,” she said at the time. “We want Daniel [Craig] to have his time of celebration. Next year we'll start thinking about the future.”

Craig first portrayed Bond in the 2006 film Casino Royale. He reprised the role of 007 in 2008's Quantum of Solace, 2012's Skyfall, and 2015's Spectre, which have collectively grossed more than $3.1 billion at the worldwide box office.

Who will take up the role of Bond, James Bond? For now, we’ll have to wait and see.

But it looks as though the search is on for the next 007. And it sounds as though it’s going to be an exciting time to be a secret agent.

Yeah, but what the audience really wants is a '70s blacksplotation setting and his name is Boss...

Boss Nigger.

That movie is pretty entertaining and it has a catchy theme song. The bad guy from Dolemite plays Fred Williamson's sidekick.

No Time To Die had a lot of delays and rewrites during its production. As soon as the actress from Fleabag worked on the script, it was a sign that this would change Bond as a character. Despite stating nothing would change, they did bring up the MeToo movement and how he should treat women properly. I'd personally prefer a chauvinistic Idris Elba as 007, but that won't happen.

Reddit has spoken:

At this point, why not? He played Sir Gawain, didn't he? If he can pull of a 9th century knight, why not Bond? Why not, indeed?

 

[Stabmaster Arson]

I really wish they gave Tarantino a shot at Casino Royale. He apparently wanted to keep Brosnan as bond for a movie set when the book took place. The Casino Royale we got was great but I’d definitely like them to attempt a period piece.

Oh fuck no, not that hack. He doesn't have the subtlety to do Bond. He doesn't understand the English character enough.

So you see, Jaws, it will be YOU who has to do the needful. You will not be redeeming *shits in street*

Black tranny, do it pussies.

Barbara Broccoli has been pretty recently quoted as saying Bond is white and male, period. But regardless I have no faith at all in this dead, gay franchise.

 

[Daniel Wallace]

she just took the code name 007 over in the new movie

Yeah so why not just stick with her? Did audiences not like a black chick 007 or something?

Look, I've watched Dragon Ball Z-- I know not to trust anyone who's last name is literally the name of a vegetable

Craig films were already too much of a reinvention. It was cute with Casino Royale, but it got old really quick.

Guess Bond truly is dead.

 

[Bungdit Din]

The worst thing they did to Bond was make the films so fucking boring. Pre-Craig, the series was a lot of things, including pants-on-head retarded at times, but it was never dull. Skipped the last one entirely, and had to nope out of the one before that part way through, before it sent me into a coma. The rest of Craig's weren't much better and, whitehot take here, 'Casino Royale' is massively overrated (though I quite like it, it's just not that great). Killed off or not in the movies, Bond pretty much is dead to me now. And, same with Star Wars (and all the rest), hearing myself say something like this would've been unthinkable, not so long ago.

At this point, if they could replicate the beautiful production, I'd much rather see a well-adapted 'Smiley's People' (the follow up to 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy') than whatever the fuck they're thinking about doing with 007. Best case scenario - and probably hopelessly optimistic - the execs are paying attention to the wild success of that new Top Gun, and act accordingly.

He won't be doing any actual spy work, He'll just find the villain's social media account and thwart his plans online.

 

[Zbk3VmLfujjzjxBd43tL]

James Bond will still be James Bond, but his dead name will be Jane Bond and he will be an FTM troon.

 

[Idiotron]

We're in a post-dark and gritty world of cinema.
The world is dark and gritty now, we need some silliness.
We need to reinvent Bond, the Craig one is dated.

I say, go back to the roots:
1. Set the movies in the Cold War era, Russians are evil in 2022, you can bring back the Soviet Union.
2. Make it campy again, bring back jetpacks and submarine cars and laser wristwatches, bring back villains with bases inside of volcanoes, bring back over the top henchmen like Jaws and Oddjob.
3. Get as far away from current events IRL as possible, just make stuff up.
4. Make it seem like the characters are enjoying their lives, everyone in No Time To Die was screaming and crying all the time, it was miserable to watch.

Do all of that and you have a hit that could dethrone Mission Impossible in terms of being the cool spy franchise.

Jason Bourne could kick James Bond's candy ass.

Yeah, but what the audience really wants is a '70s blacksplotation setting and his name is Boss...

Boss Nigger.

catchy tune

 

[Cpl. Long Dong Silver]

There's this one Bond story I read many years ago, it was set in post-WWII Italy. Bond goes to investigate a previous MI6 agent stationed in Sicily who's gone missing, ends up working with a CIA spook also stationed there, assisting him on the case.

The antagonist is an American businessman who's planning to smuggle cheap cocaine or heroin into the US via an ocean liner he owns as revenge for "muh jews" convincing the US to participate in WWII (or WWI, can't recall), in which his son died. His plan being to create a drug epidemic that cripples the US.

Bond stops him, discovers that the CIA spook betrayed the aforementioned MI6 agent and was on the payroll of that American, and covertly murders him in his own home during the epilogue.

I totally will watch a Bond film that names the Jew

 

[mario if smoke weed]

If they're going to recast a non-white actor for Bond can they get one of those funny Ugandan dudes to play him? I'd watch the hell out of that

 

[Elwood P. Dowd]

Pre-Craig, the series was a lot of things, including pants-on-head retarded at times, but it was never dull.

Exactly this. I was thinking about A View to a Kill the other day. The plot was literally something about giving steroids to race horses leading to somehow taking over the world, but between Grace Jones and the Duran Duran soundtrack I didn't give a shit. And was thoroughly entertained.

 

[Reverend]

so it'll suck.

Great to know I can skip this franchise along with Star Wars and Star Trek.

 

[Red Hood]

Look, I've watched Dragon Ball Z-- I know not to trust anyone who's last name is literally the name of a vegetable

What about how a child mispronounces a vegetable name, like Charles Barkley?

That's why I do view Quantum of Solace as the worst Bond movie. Sure, there are some with worse acting, worse, effects, and some even dumber. But they're always entertaining. That's what even the bad Roger Moore Bond movies have, that silly, fun entertainment factor. Not only is Quantum of Solace stupid, it's just fucking boring.

This is crucial - emphasis on point three. It has to be escapist fun! I mean, look at the world we live in, and it's really difficult to root for a character who, irl, would be an enforcer for globohomo - cunt would be employed planting false flag bombs on London buses (or recruiting and arming the saps who'd be blowing themselves up), or something equally fucked up. Unless he had a 'Hans, are we the baddies?' moment - which the producers would never have the stones to pull - his job, these days, is most definitely not 'saving The West', or even just Jolly Old England. He'd be actively working to undermine, destabilize, and ultimately destroy Bri'ish society, ffs.

Hell, if the next movie involved a plot to, say, assassinate our beloved world leaders, I for one know which way I'd like to see that one turn out. Look at the WEF, and who's running it...

In that spirit, I nominate @Drain Todger for the role.
