Not that Nolan wouldn't do a good job, but I worry he might have a massive ego have winning so many oscars for Oppenhiemer, he could take bond into some weird directions.
Oh boy….
As far as we know, two out of three of those directors haven’t met with EoN.
The third one will be done his film, about the same time Broccoli will be done with Othello.
Gobble, gobble.
Which film though? I thought Villeneuve has at least 2 projects announced, why would he announce them if he's not planning to begin work for another several years?
Chef, Villeneuve, like any big director, has about 10 projects in development. He himself recently said one of those project is slowly coming together (it’s in draft one development). We are talking years from now…
P.S @Mendes4Lyfe , he scheduled to shoot Messiah next June/July for a six month shoot.
I'm sick of a couple names and Chazelle is a very strong director, and he shoots beautiful films. I admire his work even when he has a so-called flop.
I'd also bet this isn't happening.
I wish it to be true, and will happily be wrong on my silly one-note prediction. But I stand by what I've unfortunately been repeating since mid-February.
If there was more solid news than Jordan whats-his-name on W of R claiming, under his usual RUMOUR heading, that the director met with EoN (this time with zero sources; he seems to have cobbled this assumption, based on his post, that it's mainly because Chazelle says he has two projects he's mulling over... But no where in his slop does it indicate the director did actually meet with EoN, lol.), then I'd happily pray for it to be true.
But it's not.
Not even Jordan's groupies in the film blogosphere supported his claim. This might as well have come from the Daly Mail.
Which is disappointing because Chazelle would be an exciting and excellent choice.
Chazelle seems more in line with the type EON go for, similar to Sam Mendes or Marc Forster, than either Nolan or Villeneuve, who remind me more of Speilberg or Ridley Scott - sort of genre autuers.
I wouldn’t disagree with this on its face, but, we know from DV himself that when Boyle left NTTD, DV was the person Eon called.
He had a meeting with them asap.
He wanted to do it, and they discussed how they could make it work, as both parties wanted him to direct this film. However, he was too deep into preproduction on DUNE to make it viable. By the end of that meeting, it was clear that he wouldn’t be able to do Bond at that time.
It was they that pursued him.
So he’s very much a director they wanted in the past. And if I’m to believe what I’ve heard, the director they still want.
But let’s see how this plays out, since I’m tired of hearing myself repeating this.
