Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, who are responsible for the 007 films, have revealed that they intend to define the next villain in the franchise before choosing the new James Bond performer.
The revelation was made to The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday night (September 21) during a dinner together at The Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, before the two brothers were honored by the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation with an award. 007’s 60th Anniversary Film Award.
“We have to think about the trajectory of the Bond films, the stories and where we want to take them. So that’s really the main focus of this reboot,” Broccoli said. “Once we have an idea of where we want to go, we’ll start thinking about casting. We’re not just picking someone in a movie. Hopefully we’re picking someone for at least a decade of film. It’s a big decision to make and we’re not. not even close to making that decision. “
He added that the job also includes speaking with the writers of the franchise. “We always sit with our writers and start thinking, ‘What is the world afraid of?’ We start by thinking, ‘Who is Bond’s villain?’ We look at Bond’s emotional life and what he will face personally that he hasn’t had to deal with before. So he has two big topics in the movies: one is geopolitics and the other is the personal. “
Therefore, only after defining the threat of the upcoming features will they have a better idea of the type of Bond they will need to show.
Even saying they are opposed to putting the 007 universe into a series, the owners of production company Eon point out that Amazon’s acquisition of the MGM studio allowed them to begin exploring documentaries on the franchise. After the release of “Being James Bond”, on the trajectory of Daniel Craig, released last year, Wilson and Broccoli will now make available “The Sound of 007”, on the musical history of the franchise, out in October on the Prime platform.
