Los Angeles, June 26
Filmmaker Denis Villeneuve will direct the next James Bond film, Amazon MGM Studios.
As announced earlier Amy Pascal and David Heyman will serve as producers. Joining them is Tanya Lapointe as an executive producer.
“Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since ‘Dr. No’ with Sean Connery. I’m a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he’s sacred territory,” Villeneuve said.
He added that he intends to honour the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come, reports.
“This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honour. Amy, David, and I are absolutely thrilled to bring him back to the screen. Thank you to Amazon MGM Studios for their trust.”
Mike Hopkins, head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, added, “We are honoured that Denis has agreed to direct James Bond’s next chapter. He is a cinematic master, whose filmography speaks for itself.”
