The least we can say is that James Bond is a cult figure. And after several decades in service, the current production wants to “make a change”. We can say that.
It will be 60 years since we can discover the adventures of James Bond On the big screen. Each time a new actor comes to bring a different breath. But it seems it’s still a bit different after Daniel Craig.
A new James Bond era
Indeed, Barbara Broccoli, who has been the current producer of the James Bond films and the film Killing is not Playing since 1987, was able to speak on the magazine’s microphone meeting to talk about the future of the saga.
Nobody rushes. We’re looking for where to go with Bond. We talk about it in detail. There is no script yet and we won’t have it until we’ve decided on the approach of this next film, because it’s really going to be a reinvention of Bond.
We’re reinventing the character, and that takes time. I would say filming won’t start for another two years.
The next film will be the 26th in the saga, and the actor will be the seventh to play the role of James Bond. It remains to be seen what the word “reinvent” means in a producer’s mouth. Because clearly, Craig’s Bond is already a reinvention compared to the old James Bond. Some viewers even accuse the last film of being a little soft, removing everything that makes up the charm of the original persona in its excesses (alcohol, romance, cold humor, etc.).
Idril Elba as Bond?
There are many rumors on this topic, we talked for a while about the possible presence of a black actor, mentioning in particular the name of the very talented Idris Elba. It is clear that nothing seems to have been decided at the moment. Let’s just hope this reinvention doesn’t turn the substance of the character on its head.
