Daniel Craig: Last News

Pierce Brosnan has insisted that the next James Bond must be British.It comes after reports emerged earlier this week that the character will remain male and British under the franchise’s new management by Amazon MGM Studios.An internal memo was said to have circulated within the studio that stipulated “the spy will not change gender or nationality”, although it did state that the new Bond could come from elsewhere in the Commonwealth. Amazon have not publicly commented on the report.Now, Brosnan who previously led four Bond films between 1995 and 2002 and preceded Daniel Craig in the iconic role, has told The Daily Telegraph it is “a given” that that the next actor to take the role should be British.He also said that it was the right decision for producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, to hand creative control to Amazon in a multi-million-dollar deal announced last month.Brosnan added: “It takes great courage for them to let go.

EXCLUSIVE: While it is super early in the dealmaking process, sources tell Deadline that Netflix and director Greta Gerwig are aiming high for their next piece of casting on their Chronicles of Narnia movie, as Daniel Craig has an offer to join the cast.

The incident happened in Mexico, with Burroughs fleeing the country back to the United States.

No Time to Die.” However, speculation has been deafening in the weeks since the franchise’s longtime producers, the Broccoli family, ceded creative control to SPECTRE, sorry, Amazon — perhaps out of fear that their decision-making will not be so prime.Jeff Bezos even tweeted, “Who’d you pick as the next James Bond?”Overeager Jeff sounds like he’s asking us to leave a review on Amazon. Fans have been shouting that Idris Elba should be Bond for what feels like 30 years. He’s 52 now, so that dream has been 00-86’d.And today, there’s a wrongheaded online push for former “Superman” Henry Cavill to take on the role of the MI6 agent with a license to kill.

Amazon MGM Studios.“It takes great courage for them to let go,” he told the Telegraph. “I hope that [Amazon] handles the work and the character with dignity and imagination and respect.”“In this world that is moving so fast now, at the speed of light, [the takeover] does come with a certain lament,” Brosnan continued.

James Bond will reportedly remain male and British under the franchise’s new management by Amazon MGM Studios.Last month, it was announced that the long-serving producers of 007, Barbara Broccoli and her half-brother Michael G. Wilson, had stepped away from the creative process and handed over control to Amazon, ending over 60 years of the Broccoli family’s control of the Bond estate.Now, a report by the Daily Mail states that an internal memo has circulated within the studio that stipulates “the spy will not change gender or nationality”, although it did state that the new Bond could come from elsewhere in the Commonwealth.Amazon have not publicly commented on the report.Bond fans have not reacted kindly to the news of the franchise’s sale, with some predicting that Amazon will “ruin” the series by over-saturating the market with “mediocre spin-offs”.A previous report suggested that Amazon executive chairman Jeff Bezos decided to pursue the buyout and have the company take creative control of the films after reading that Broccoli referred to Amazon executives as “fucking idiots” during her dealings with the company.The Hollywood Reporter noted that an insider said Bezos “read her quote in the Journal and got on the phone and said, ‘I don’t care what it takes, get rid of her’.”Amazon acquired its share of the rights to the James Bond franchise in 2021 when they purchased studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM).

Just as former political leaders are constantly asked about current events, so previous James Bond actors being interviewed about new projects can set their watch to when they’ll be asked who should follow in their footsteps and play the next 007.

James Bond – now under the creative control of Amazon Studios following its buy-out of producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson – will remain a man and British (or the Commonwealth), according to UK media.

Wilson and Barbara Broccoli were stepping back from the creative process and handing over control of the beloved franchise to Amazon MGM Studios, ending over 60 years of the Broccoli family overseeing the films.Now, according to a report in the Hollywood Reporter, Bezos was determined to take all creative control for the IP through Amazon MGM Studios after The Wall Street Journal published a piece in December.

Pierce Brosnan is talking James Bond.

Pierce Brosnan has expressed an interest in reprising his role as James Bond for a new film, but suggests the franchise needs “fresh blood”.While speaking to GQ about his new series MobLand, Brosnan was prompted to respond to the idea that he could portray an older version of 007 in future movies, after Amazon MGM Studios took full creative control of the beloved franchise.“I’ve heard of that,” Brosnan said of the idea. The British actor previously led four Bond films between 1995 and 2002 and preceded Daniel Craig in the iconic role.“Of course, how could I not be interested?” he added.

The Monkey director Osgood Perkins says he has no desire to make a James Bond movie now that the franchise has been acquired by Amazon.In a recent Reddit AMA, the horror director was asked by a fan: “Are you open to directing a Bond movie/trilogy? If so, who would you cast as your version of Bond?”Perkins simply replied: “No, because fuck Jeff Bezos.”It comes after billionaire Bezos previously appeared to publicly support President Donald Trump, writing that it was “an honour” to attend Trump’s second inauguration in 2025. “Excited to collaborate on accelerating innovation and supercharging the American economy,” Bezos commented at the time.While Perkins ruled out Bond because of Bezos, he did disclose another iconic franchise he’d be happy to join – Star Wars.Perkins wrote that his ideal film, if budget was no object, would be “the collected dreams and nightmares of Darth Vader told as short stories.”Other projects on the director’s list include “a totally made up biopic about a real person, a neo-futuristic Freudian Western, [and] a movie about someone famous who died young and their experience of the afterlife.”Perkins went on to explain that his visual style was influenced by his favourite films.

Consequently, both voted instead for The Brutalist‘s Adrien Brody (who did win an Oscar for The Pianist).Obviously, Academy voters often get things wrong.
