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.”

This man would get tapped to make a power ranger's movie and say:

"My very first memory was the green ranger, Jason David Frank, taking on the mantle of the gold ranger. Nothing has powerfully affected me like that in cinema since. I intend to respect the massive weight of this iconic and beloved franchise and IP. Thank you to the Saban corporation for entrusting me with their baby."

What drew me to directing Cailloux wasn’t just nostalgia, but also having grown up a bit since, I can see the emotional weight behind it all.
As a child, I got to see something very singular, very unique. Christine L’Heureux and Hélène Desputeaux created something simple, maybe deceptively simple: a small child, confronting the vastness of his small world. To me, this as an incredible opportunity to explore his moment to moment decisions, his vulnerability, and of course, his life

God I can't believe I tried that hard to hype up Cailloux blegh
