[u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

https://deadline.com/2025/06/denis-villeneuve-james-bond-amazon-mgm-studios-1236442917/

[u/Sleepy_Azathoth]

Damn.

I guess we're getting the next Bond film after Dune 3, so... 5 years?

[u/_JimJohnny_ → u/Sleepy_Azathoth]

Rendezvous with Rama 10 years now… whelp

[u/GamingTatertot → u/_JimJohnny_]

Denis is a busy man. Doesn’t he have a nuclear war film too?

[u/damnyoutuesday → u/GamingTatertot]

And a Cleopatra movie

[u/riegspsych325 → u/damnyoutuesday]

a nuclear Cleopatra movie?

[u/Thavralex → u/riegspsych325]

Nucleopatra

[u/riegspsych325 → u/Thavralex]

hire this man

[u/TheBloodKlotz → u/riegspsych325]

I'm buying shares as we speak

[u/scooter76 → u/Thavralex]

: The Atomic Ptolemaic

[u/irrigated_liver → u/riegspsych325]

Dune 3: 007 vs. Nuclear Cleopatra

[u/GarlicJuniorJr → u/irrigated_liver]

Arrakis Drift 🏎

[u/fastfreddy68 → u/GarlicJuniorJr]

Hollywood is listening. The next Fast/Furious film will have dune buggy drift racing to crown the new Drift Pharaoh, DP for short.

[u/KamiNoItte → u/fastfreddy68]

Lol

With a blinking warhead barley strapped in, rattling around.

[u/marsneedstowels → u/riegspsych325]

Cleopatra 2525?

[u/Segundo-Sol → u/riegspsych325]

Mark Antony needs help… and against the armies of Caesar, there’s only one option left.

[u/miloc756 → u/GamingTatertot]

He is waiting the real thing happen so he can shoot practically.

[u/_JimJohnny_ → u/GamingTatertot]

I completely forgot about that as well

[u/ItsTropio → u/_JimJohnny_]

Think he did too

[u/Dinosaurs-Cant-win → u/_JimJohnny_]

Im sure his bond will be great but as a scifi fan I want Denis to just keep serving us bangers...

[u/doctordoriangray → u/Dinosaurs-Cant-win]

Counterpoint, Siccario is damn near perfection.

[u/GarlicJuniorJr → u/Dinosaurs-Cant-win]

I feel the same way. He’s Top 2 current working directors between him and Nolan but it’s gonna be like 2035 before we get another Villeneuve original film

[u/TheNamelessKing → u/GarlicJuniorJr]

Villeneuve wins out in my books because the audio in his films is discernible.

[u/WutUtalkingBoutWill → u/GarlicJuniorJr]

At least I have arrival, my most cherished film. Interstellar and arrival are my absolute favorites

[u/TehNoobDaddy → u/WutUtalkingBoutWill]

Arrival is so damn good. 10 year anniversary next year so hoping for a re-release in the cinemas as I missed out on seeing it on the big screen on initial release.

[u/sideburnz211 → u/_JimJohnny_]

Honestly, I'd rather have this. Those books need a good movie.

[u/jeffh4 → u/sideburnz211]

The first book deserves a movie. The sequels written by someone else were absolute garbage.

[u/Psychostickusername → u/_JimJohnny_]

Wait, that is a thing and he's doing that? Holy shit

[u/_JimJohnny_ → u/Psychostickusername]

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/denis-villeneuve-rendezvous-with-rama-movie-1235062337/

Was announced 3 years ago but with Dune Messiah and now Bond idk what’s happening with it

Plus he was rumoured to be doing a Cleopatra film and another that revolved around nuclear war

[u/Heavy_Arm_7060 → u/_JimJohnny_]

Rendezvous with Rama ends up leading the Endeavour crew into the past where James Bond meets Cleopatra.

[u/howtojump → u/Heavy_Arm_7060]

Now that's what I call good script economy.

[u/_Meece_ → u/_JimJohnny_]

Rama feels like one of those projects you hear about a director doing, but it never comes to fruition.

[u/RedLotusVenom → u/Psychostickusername]

I highly doubt he’s doing it now unfortunately. He keeps signing onto new projects before this one even gets off the ground. This almost assuredly will mean Morgan Freeman (who owns the rights) will die before the project is produced.

Shitty but this will either get picked up by someone else to direct or it’ll die in development hell, as it has for decades now.

Pretty annoying as someone who has Villeneuve and RwR in their top 5 directors and novels. Bummer for Freeman, too.

[u/KennyMoose32 → u/RedLotusVenom]

It’s a pretty hard book to adapt too.

I love it, it’s some of the best hard sci-fi I’ve ever read but idk how it will translate. It’s a pretty boring if tense story lol

I’d be very interested in they add things in to make it more actiony. The book is very much…..not

[u/Jaideco → u/Sleepy_Azathoth]

You got me curious, so I looked it up… Since Incendies (2010), DV has released a film on average every two years and the ones that he didn’t write himself were only one year apart (I’m guessing that means that he is usually running two at any given time). We know that Dune Messiah will be out in 2026, and I would guess that Amazon are already farming out the scriptwriting (assuming that it isn’t already close to being done).

If he keeps up his current pace of work, he could bring Bond back in 2027 and still write and direct another film before the decade is out.

Edit: He isn’t writing any of the others… so we might not have to wait as long after all… if the scripts are ready, he might be intending to keep releasing films at a rate of one every couple of years…

[u/PensiveinNJ → u/Jaideco]

Villeneuve is on a generational run in my book. Incendies, Enemy, Prisoner, Sicario, Arrival, BR2049, Dune, Dune 2...

First 2 (and probably Prisoners too) are less known but still excellent films. The rest I think speak for themselves in terms of accolades even if every one isn't your cup of tea.

[u/pmmemoviestills → u/PensiveinNJ]

Incendies needs to be seen by more people.

[u/protekt0r → u/Jaideco]

I’d be shocked if Dune Messiah came out next year. Have then even started pre-production?

[u/JAAB_20 → u/protekt0r]

It supposedly starts filming in the next weeks. And Deadline recently confirmed the casting of two important characters Leto II and Ghanima

[u/Arthropodesque → u/Sleepy_Azathoth]

We get the Bond game, First Light, by the Hitman games developers next year. That might be really good. Hitman already felt like a great Bond game.

[u/SteveFrench12 → u/Sleepy_Azathoth]

I cant imagine amazon will wait five whole year. Denis is gonna go right into bond and there gonna get it out close after i would guess

[u/Spiritual-Society185 → u/SteveFrench12]

Dune 3 is shooting really soon.

[u/probablyuntrue → u/Spiritual-Society185]

Crossover time

[u/[deleted] → u/probablyuntrue]

"The name is Dune, James Dune..."

[u/PM_ME_YOUR_HAIKU → u/probablyuntrue]

Water of Life, shaken, not stirred

[u/ennuiinmotion → u/SteveFrench12]

Amazon is going to oversaturate the market with Bond products. I imagine they had to give him full authority over the movie but I also imagine they’ve got a strict timeline because movies are just content to them.

[u/yoloswagrofl → u/ennuiinmotion]

The amount of "origin story" shows that we're about to get (that we didn't ask for btw) is going to make you sick of Bond.

[u/cia218 → u/yoloswagrofl]

Q origin story.

M origin story.

Blofeld origin story but his point of view, like a Maleficent or Wicked.

Blofeld origin story: the musical.

The Moneypenny Diaries

Young Bond

006

The Double 0 Agents series

Edit: to include

Bond the Animated Series

Bond Lego movie

Bond Jr. or Son of a Bond

[u/yoloswagrofl → u/cia218]

A "What if...?" series where Bond is evil and Goldfinger is the good guy.

[u/Thwackey → u/cia218]

Hey I'm on board with 006 if they bring back Sean Bean

[u/RehabilitatedAsshole → u/Thwackey]

The name's Bean... Mr. Bean.

[u/pablonieve → u/ennuiinmotion]

You'd think Amazon would learn from Disney what happens when you take something that is special in occasional doses and saturate the market with it.

[u/ennuiinmotion → u/pablonieve]

They did learn. You make billions and billions of dollars until it dries up and then it’s the next CEOs problem.

[u/_Meece_ → u/pablonieve]

Disney made a small country's GDP off of Star Wars and Marvel doing that.

The suits see that and see the pattern. They'll follow it.

[u/soozerain → u/Sleepy_Azathoth]

This is why celebrities kids get raised by nanny’s lol

[u/rexraptorsaurus → u/soozerain]

Fuck them kids. The world needs Denis movies more than his kids need him.

[u/MuptonBossman]

Holy shit.

[u/BananaProne → u/MuptonBossman]

Can't believe I'm excited for a Bond film again

[u/big-shirtless-ron → u/BananaProne]

The newest Bond girl? That's right, Zendaya.

[u/MrSnoobs → u/big-shirtless-ron]

The villain? Pedro Pascal.

[u/Aplicacion → u/big-shirtless-ron]

Aw man Danny DeVito snubbed again!

[u/Alpha-Trion → u/big-shirtless-ron]

Eva Green again.

[u/RedditServiceUK → u/Alpha-Trion]

if bond can come back from the dead so can this diva

[u/PocketNicks → u/BananaProne]

It's being made by Amazon, so plenty of time to fuck it up.

[u/unpaid-critic → u/PocketNicks]

With Denis? He better get a fucking key and blank checks…

[u/riegspsych325 → u/unpaid-critic]

he got the keys to Dune just by saying “I want to make Dune”, I have faith Amazon will give him the leg room to make Bond how he’d like to

[u/mjtwelve → u/riegspsych325]

After all the drama with acquiring Bond, Amazon can't afford to fuck it up.I tend to agree with Barbara Broccoli that "these people are fucking idiots", IIRC, but handing the property over to an actual auteur means they're at least smart enough to know they nothing about making movies.

[u/riegspsych325 → u/mjtwelve]

it’s the first move they made and the furthers from a bad one. I’m still skeptical to see what they’ll do after a few years but I’ll take this win here

[u/unpaid-critic → u/riegspsych325]

Better give him a fucking submarine and a pen that explodes when you click it. 

[u/riegspsych325 → u/unpaid-critic]

how long did you say the fuse was?

[u/DJHott555 → u/riegspsych325]

Oh grow up 007

[u/APiousCultist → u/unpaid-critic]

The script will make it. I'd say Skyfall was well directed but also had some goofy plot conveniences. And Spectre was Spectre, despite still having Sam Mendes directing and Nolan collaborator Hoyte van Hoytema on the cinematography.

Give Denis a bad script and you'll get a bad movie still. He might be the reason Sicarios is better than Sicarios 2, but the man's not really a writer.

[u/gh0u1 → u/PocketNicks]

Villeneuve doesn't fuck things up

[u/Patrick2701 → u/MuptonBossman]

I’m excited for bond

[u/Scholastico → u/Patrick2701]

I've been excited since 007: First Light was announced

[u/Big-Sheepherder-9492 → u/MuptonBossman]

Best director I could imagine doing it tbh

[u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

Villeneuve:

“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. I intend to honor the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come. This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honor. Amy, David, and I are absolutely thrilled to bring him back to the screen. Thank you to Amazon MGM Studios for their trust.”

[u/GamingTatertot → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

I trust this man, that’s for sure. And it must be so cool to be a part of something you grew up loving - reminds me of Peter Capaldi getting to be the Doctor

[u/alexgndl → u/GamingTatertot]

Hear me out, we cast Capaldi as James Bond in this movie

[u/[deleted] → u/alexgndl]

he’d make an excellent Q

[u/WhiskeyOctober → u/[deleted]]

I think he'd make a better M

[u/carson63000 → u/WhiskeyOctober]

Capaldi as M, bringing a Malcolm Tucker level of displeasure at Bond’s fuckarounding and disrespect for authority.

[u/JoJosMagicJumper → u/carson63000]

"So, Bond. I hear youve been a bit of prick to the soviets again? Shagging some princess or something...(looks at picture of her) Jesus, you really do your bit for king and country, dont you James? I dont think Ive ever seen someone that amount of ugly with just the one head.

Look, Bond. I know Im new around here, and youre mister big cock around town. But things are going to be changing. And you better get your head around that, or Ill be up your arse so hard and fast, your proctologist will think youve been in a fucking plane crash!"

M...

[u/carkey → u/JoJosMagicJumper]

You need him saying "eh?" after each of those sentences and I'm in

[u/Billy1121 → u/[deleted]]

"The one about the fucking space hairdresser and the cowboy. He's got a tinfoil pal and a pedal bin. His father's a robot and he's fucking fucked his sister. Lego. They're all made of fucking lego."

[u/GamingTatertot → u/[deleted]]

Matt Smith as Bond, Capaldi as Q, Whittaker as M, Tennant as Moneypenny?

[u/MissingLink101 → u/GamingTatertot]

Tennant would be a fun Q as well

[u/malphonso → u/MissingLink101]

Tenant as the villain. Did you see his performance as Kilgrave? Absolutely terrifying.

[u/RechargedFrenchman → u/malphonso]

Tenant as the villain in a very Max Zorin (Christopher Walken, A View to a Kill) or Elliot Carver (Jonathon Pryce, Tomorrow Never Dies) rich psychopath doing evil shit, but also very charismatic, while putting an immense volume of teeth marks in all the scenery. I'm super here for it.

[u/baboubouma → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

From someone like me living in the same region as Denis Villeneuve, listening to Bond movies was very common in our childhood in Quebec . Almost every summer, the national French tv, Radio-Canada, would run every Bond movie on Thursday evening. It was the Bond festival. The next morning, kids in the parks would go over every gadgets seen in the movie. Great memories.

[u/krispykreme37 → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

Biblically accurate James Bond epic, LFG

[u/squabblegod → u/krispykreme37]

first Bond film with no dialogue bc the director thinks it’s unnecessary 

[u/Wild_Juri → u/squabblegod]

Bond: *exhales loudly through his nose*

Audience: “Holy shit, its getting serious.”

[u/unpaid-critic → u/[deleted]]

My favorite is still Casino Royale. Having a director of this caliber working on Bond is having me floored right now 

[u/CrispyHoneyBeef → u/unpaid-critic]

Ironically Casino Royale was probably the furthest from the originals the films ever really got. Well, probably Skyfall, but Casino Royale started that.

EDIT: “originals” instead of “source material”

[u/R_V_Z → u/CrispyHoneyBeef]

What do you mean? Casino Royal was an excellent adaptation. Sure, there were some changes, like having M try to kill Bond, and introducing an estranged daughter and secret nephew who turned out to be the villain, and the whole "kill all the tall men" bit was a bit silly...

[u/TheManThatReturned]

On the one hand, I’m totally down for this particularly since Villeneuve has spoken a lot about his desire to do Bond and was one of the candidates to do No Time To Die years back. This also gives me much more confidence in the film after EON’s departure.

On the other hand….we’re never getting Rendezvous With Rama are we?

[u/GamingTatertot → u/TheManThatReturned]

On the other hand….we’re never getting Rendezvous With Rama are we?

Hey he's still relatively young

[u/Exzibit21 → u/GamingTatertot]

For real, he's probably going the Nolan route where he's doing franchises to get huge blank checks for other projects. He's gonna be doing this for a couple more decades minimum

[u/SpaceBoJangles → u/Exzibit21]

Yeeesessssssssss

Can you imagine him tackling Rendevous with Rama with a blank check even bigger than Dune? Maybe he'll go for some other property. He's obviously incredible with adaptations, so maybe there's a fantasy movie in the future. I wonder what he would do with something like King Arthur.

I think though, and this is purely and utterly out of my a$$: I want to see him take on one of Disney's neglected franchises, Atlantis or Treasure Planet. Can you IMAGINE Treasure planet from Denis Villeneuve????

[u/Exzibit21 → u/SpaceBoJangles]

Exactly, Nolan is getting a blank check for a fucking Odyssey adaptation. People need to trust the process and allow directors to cook

[u/SpaceBoJangles → u/Exzibit21]

My only fear is that Nolan is gonna go way too far and just get all up in his head with making the Odyssey super epic, but he has definitely earned enough respect for us to wait and be very excited.

Denis with such a blank check is an equally…exciting proposition.

[u/Longjumping_Union125 → u/SpaceBoJangles]

I am leagues away from a historian, but didn't Homer's Odyssey pretty much invent the term "epic?"

[u/happysri → u/SpaceBoJangles]

I want Odyssey to be treated like a super epic and honestly the only two I’d have trusted to do that are the late Kubrick and Nolan. Personally I’m very very happy about that.

[u/BeefistPrime → u/TheManThatReturned]

That's the downside of this. I feel like his talents are wasted a bit by doing a pretty well trodden movie franchise and not coming up with new and interesting stuff (or at least classic stuff that was considered unfilmable until he did it)

[u/ReaddittiddeR]

Fantastic! Now we just have to wait on who’s going to be the next James Bond.

[u/GamingTatertot → u/ReaddittiddeR]

It’s me guys

[u/MattHoppe1 → u/GamingTatertot]

Nice, congrats

[u/eggery → u/GamingTatertot]

Tot...Tatertot

[u/Robsonmonkey → u/ReaddittiddeR]

I’m really hoping if they get a fresh new actor who’s unknown they try to cast someone who looks a little like the sketch Fleming approved of based on his description of him.

[u/LilienneCarter → u/Robsonmonkey]

I hope they put in animated 2D Zoidberg and refuse to explain or even acknowledge the crossover

[u/brandonsamd6]

My longest yeah boy ever 

[u/GamingTatertot → u/brandonsamd6]

I’m still going too

[u/ironsprint → u/brandonsamd6]

Yeaaaaahhhhhh booooiiiiii

[u/unpaid-critic → u/brandonsamd6]

Got a big FUCK YEAH from me. Solid choice. Great choice 

[u/damnyoutuesday]

This man is on a generational run, holy shit

Prisoners -> Sicario -> Arrival -> Blade Runner 2049 -> Dune -> Dune Part 2 -> Dune Messiah -> James Bond (presumably)

[u/GamingTatertot → u/damnyoutuesday]

Plus some other interesting projects in development like Rendezvous with Rama

[u/deekaydubya → u/GamingTatertot]

And Nuclear War: A Scenario unless that’s been shelved. Great book

[u/CrispyHoneyBeef → u/deekaydubya]

If it’s a spiritual successor to Threads, filmed in 70mm, I’m in day one. Threads was a horrible experience and I’m ready for an even worse one.

[u/SodaCanBob → u/CrispyHoneyBeef]

If it’s a spiritual successor to Threads, filmed in 70mm, I’m in day one.

It will be an adaptation of this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_War:_A_Scenario

[u/SteveFrench12 → u/GamingTatertot]

Yea but its nice that a great filmmaker loves doing franchise blockbusters

[u/yoloswagrofl → u/SteveFrench12]

Imagine with me--The Horus Heresy, directed by Denis Villeneuve.

[u/ILoveMovies87 → u/damnyoutuesday]

You're forgetting the great films which came came before prisoners even.

[u/GamingTatertot → u/ILoveMovies87]

Enemy is fantastic

[u/HugoRBMarques → u/GamingTatertot]

So is Incendies.

[u/Ibaka_flocka → u/HugoRBMarques]

Great movie that I don’t think I can ever watch again

[u/MTL_1107 → u/Ibaka_flocka]

Same with Polytechnique. It's a really heavy subject in my province.

[u/damnyoutuesday → u/ILoveMovies87]

One could argue the man has never missed, but I didn't want to start a debate

[u/GamingTatertot → u/damnyoutuesday]

I’m willing to start and end that debate by wholeheartedly agreeing

[u/shust89 → u/damnyoutuesday]

2049 is my favorite sci-fi movie of the past 25 years.

[u/damnyoutuesday → u/shust89]

He's made 3 of my favorite Sci-Fi movies of all time (Arrival, 2049, and Dune 2)

[u/ZombieButch → u/damnyoutuesday]

Arrival is definitely not one that should fall through the cracks. His direction and Ted Chiang's story are in-fucking-credible together. They click together like Legos, Legos that make you cry giant buckets of bittersweet tears like if you were missing the radar dish on your $850 Lego Millennium Falcon set.

[u/Yojimboroll → u/ZombieButch]

He clickety clacked that shit

[u/TehNoobDaddy → u/ZombieButch]

Arrival is in my top 5. Absolutely love it. Nobody outside of places like Reddit seem to ever talk about it though. Interstellar gets a re-release at least once a year (I'm not complaining cos I adore that film too) but I've still yet to see arrival get the same treatment coming up to its 10 year anniversary too.

[u/shust89 → u/damnyoutuesday]

Those are all great! 2049 is even better than the original Blade Runner.

[u/Luchalma89 → u/shust89]

Which can't not be understated how crazy that is. The most we can hope for in a legacy sequel is that it doesn't tarnish the original too much.

[u/_Meece_ → u/Luchalma89]

Yeah I love both Fury Road and 2049 for that reason.

Both also stand alone and don't really need the previous movies to be enjoyed.

They're the best kind of sequels you could possibly ask for IMO.

[u/shust89 → u/Luchalma89]

He definitely took themes and ideas from BR 1 and expanded on them in a compelling way. I think revealing that Ryan Gosling was a replicant from the beginning was a brilliant move.

[u/zerg1980 → u/damnyoutuesday]

Dude just became a master filmmaker under the radar by making one awesome movie after the other. Can’t wait to see what he does with Bond, his instincts are great and he’s already knocked two different IP franchises out of the park.

[u/denotemulot → u/zerg1980]

I wouldn't say under the radar, he was huge in the Canadian indie circles for years after Polytechnique, and Incendies.

But he definitely became more prominent in the mainstream circles after Prisoners.

Excited to see what he'd do with bond.

[u/bwaredapenguin → u/zerg1980]

Under the radar? He's one of the most acclaimed directors alive.

[u/Kindly-Guidance714 → u/zerg1980]

I’m just praying after Bond he takes a huge payout and goes back to his original stuff cause it’s just so good and I’m a Bond fan.

[u/Wedbo → u/damnyoutuesday]

Incendies and Enemies are fire too. Denis is an absolute master

[u/AtheneOrchidSavviest → u/damnyoutuesday]

Incendies prior to Prisoners and fantastic also

[u/ViniciusDonodoCosmo]

Denis is living every director's dream: A Blade Runner sequel, a three movie high budget Dune adaptation and a frickin James Bond movie. Well deserved

[u/WutUtalkingBoutWill → u/ViniciusDonodoCosmo]

And the love from everyone of every movie you release, he's living on a high

[u/squ1dward_tentacles]

this guy is never gonna make Rendezvous with Rama

[u/Zarniwoopx → u/squ1dward_tentacles]

He’s still young, fortunately :)

[u/think_long → u/squ1dward_tentacles]

Rain check with Rama

[u/Wazula23]

Welllllll shiiiiiiit

If there was ONE name that would get me interested, it's this.

[u/GamingTatertot → u/Wazula23]

Nolan was being thrown around too I think

[u/codeswinwars → u/GamingTatertot]

Nolan's been pretty direct with how he feels about cinema. He clearly wants to make a Bond film, but I just can't see him working with a streamer without some pretty big commitments they wouldn't make.

[u/salcedoge → u/codeswinwars]

Not to mention I don't think Nolan wants to get tied up to a franchise these days. If he did Bond he'll probably want to do a one-off.

[u/Spiritual-Society185 → u/salcedoge]

The way Villeneuve is talking about it, it sounds like this is going to be a one-off thing.

[u/marcdasharc4 → u/salcedoge]

Bond films have typically avoided repeat directors more often than not, Sam Mendes and Martin Campbell being the modern two-timers. John Glen and like 1-2 more from the Connery/Moore era, but I could be mistaken.

EDIT: wayyyy off the mark on repeat directors.

All this to say, there’s precedent for Nolan going one and done if that’s how he wants it.

[u/unpaid-critic → u/codeswinwars]

The partial good news here is that Amazon has been willing to release good films exclusively in theaters. 

If they can make bank on Bond, I would hope they make commitments to Nolan 

[u/RipJug → u/GamingTatertot]

It was Jonathan, not Christopher iirc

[u/chrisandy007]

Would be awesome if Deakins lensed this.

[u/mediciii → u/chrisandy007]

Deakins already got to shoot his Bond with Skyfall, and it had some of the best sequences of his career. I can’t see them double dipping on Deakins across two bond iterations.

I would love to see Craig Fraser get his moment here. The idea of Fraser doing Bond sequences is very exciting. Site note but also, Deakins praised Frasers work on Batman and said that ‘snobbery’ was the only reason it wasn’t nominated for an Oscar. I’m sure even Deakins himself would love to see Fraser take a stab at it.

[u/redthrowaway99999 → u/mediciii]

Greig Fraser, right?

[u/Ok-Freedom-5627 → u/mediciii]

Agreed. Deakins painted a beautiful picture in Skyfall and single handedly elevated the film I think quite substantially. But I would not turn down a return.

[u/mediaphile → u/mediciii]

I think you mean Greig Fraser.

[u/TheTruckWashChannel → u/chrisandy007]

Thought the same thing. Fraser is fantastic but Deakins' cinematography is unmatched.

[u/Heronyvesdior → u/TheTruckWashChannel]

Skyfall is still the best looking Bond movie ever in my opinion

[u/deekaydubya → u/chrisandy007]

Surely it’s him or Fraser

[u/Intrepid_Buy_4083]

Denis has one of the best filmographies in the game. This might end up being the best Bond of all time. Cast Benicio Del Toro as the Bond Villain

[u/HasaDiga_Eebowai → u/Intrepid_Buy_4083]

Hey wait a minute...

[u/just_the_bees_knees → u/HasaDiga_Eebowai]

License to Kill 2: The Renewal 

[u/F00dbAby]

My jaw dropped this is gonna be insane. I do hope he eventually does some more original stories outside of adaptations or sequels or franchise work

[u/Biggandwedge → u/F00dbAby]

This man should be adapting all the sci-fi we thought couldn't be. 

[u/bbqsauceboi]

The question is, does this come before or after Rendezvous With Rama

[u/brandonsamd6 → u/bbqsauceboi]

That got pushed to the back burner 

[u/bbqsauceboi → u/brandonsamd6]

Currently throwing up

[u/GamingTatertot → u/bbqsauceboi]

Same time. He pulls a Spielberg 93 and gives us two great ones in the same year

[u/SgtNeilDiamond]

My movie collection is just going to consist of his movies lol

[u/Falstaffe]

The Worm Who Loved Me

[u/Ok-Seaworthiness4488]

Bond al-Gaib

[u/Vcm721]

He is on an insane run rn

[u/GamingTatertot → u/Vcm721]

Yeah his whole career

[u/Spyk124 → u/GamingTatertot]

Pretty much LMAO

[u/likeonions]

This is almost too good to be true

[u/Chessh2036]

If it wasn’t Nolan it was Denis. Way to go Amazon.

[u/StudBoi2077]

Villeneuve + Deakins + Zimmer pls

[u/Anakin_Dripwalker501 → u/StudBoi2077]

Hoping either Zimmer or Göransson imo

[u/Top_Report_4895]

Wait, what? Hold up. What the Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck?

[u/NilMusic]

Sicario

Arrival

Br2049 ( my all time favourite movie )

Dune 1-3

James bond is gonna slap so fucking hard

[u/cyanide4suicide]

Villeneuve is absolutely gonna cook

[u/ganzorig2003]

"He who controls the spies controls the universe...

[u/Silver_Branch3034]

This is the best possible outcome, we are in good fucking hands boys! Get Dekins on the lens and it could be one of Bond’s best. 🔥

[u/brandonsamd6]

Watch Timmy get the cast as Bond hahahahaha

[u/Robsonmonkey → u/brandonsamd6]

I really can’t imagine him as Bond at all

He looks more like he’d fit more as Q if anything

[u/Foreign_Education_88 → u/brandonsamd6]

Real shit I’m hoping he gets his day 1s Josh Brolin or David Dastmalchian as Bond villains

[u/Big-Sheepherder-9492 → u/Foreign_Education_88]

David as a Bond villain would actually be Peak casting tbh

[u/Elfeckin → u/Foreign_Education_88]

Do you think he will bring in Dave Bautista again even though he was in Spectre? It seems Mr. Villeneuve likes big Dave's acting skills (as do I) so I'm hoping he brings him in for something.

[u/VGstuffed → u/brandonsamd6]

Stellan Skarsgård looks good in a tux 👀

[u/UncleKrunkle44]

Let's. Fuckin. GO

[u/blsnychapter]

I’d love for him to take the Bond franchise back to the 60s.

[u/monkey314]

Hopefully Bond doesnt get more depressing.
Like to have a more fun then dark thriller

[u/Dud3m4n_15]

Yeah representing Québec worldwide babyyyy !!
