Denis Villeneuve to Direct JAMES BOND？! ｜ Finally, 007 Might Get Smart Again - Error Code Show

0:00 and the whole drama over at Amazon MGM, with the Amazon execs fighting with the broccolis about the future of James Bond and everything else. Oh my God, when are we gonna get another stinking Bond? And everyone's like, who's gonna head up Bond? Right? We finally, finally have an answer. Denis Villeneuve is going to direct the next James Bond film at Amazon. So we know he's done with Dune after Dune Messiah. Right. But this is the guy that did Blade Runner arrival. Now is what's going to be three Dune movies. I basically haven't seen anything of this guys. That's not good. Right. Like. He's going to direct the next James Bond movie for Amazon MGM Studios.

0:47 Jay. What do you think of this choice for a director for James Bond? When I think James Bond, I do not think Blade Runner or Dune. He did direct Sicario, which is a great movie. Another great movie that's more, I think, in tune with what James Bond like how I envision James Bond. Yeah. But no, I mean, this guy has like I'm looking at it. This guy has a really great resume. So I'm sure it's going to be great. Um, I'm, I would be kind of interested. Cause all of his like very recent stuff, you know, dune later on our arrival. I'd be really interested if he, if he can like bring on like a different, I don't know, style or feeling of James Bond that we haven't seen. That makes sense. Like James Bond movies are kind of. They're not as bad as Mission Impossible movies, but they kind of do all feel the same, if that makes sense. And that was kind of what happened with the with the the last iteration of Bond is they weren't really dark. Right. It was very gritty, very realistic. The Daniel Craig Bond was not fantastical really at all. My only concern with this pick is my personal hope prior

2:19 to this was they were gonna go back to kind of like a classic Bond less gritty more fun right a guy who likes being the debonair guy who You know drinks and hooks up and does the thing and you know Pierce Brosnan and Sean Connery are my two favorite 007s Right and both of them had this humor to them Right that Daniel Craig did not have right the Daniel Craig Bond was not amused ever at anything by anything So I was hoping that Amazon was gonna kind of go back a little bit and do that Which I don't think Denis Villeneuve is going to do right. I just I don't see that that being said he is an a tour filmmaker You're right, maybe Maybe he will bring us a bond we've never seen before. What I hope is it's not a retread of this gritty Daniel Craig like grumpy ass bond that we've had for the last number of years. Or or it just might be some of the same. Who knows? Yeah. I thought it was an interesting pick. I think it's a solid pick.

3:43 Who's the who's the new James Bond? They haven't said yet. They just announced the director and you know, Deneval News is going to have some say in that. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So now that we know it was actually a good one. So G .B. News has this three front runners for 007. Here are the three frontiers. That's a really weird group. Tom Holland, Jacob Elordi and Harris Dickinson or Timothy Chalamet. I don't like any of those.

4:25 I like none of them. I'm. No. I just don't see it. Yeah, I really don't. I don't like any one of those. Yeah, I think it just I like it. Just help a Twitch chat, but I think he's too old. He's 52. Like if if they'd gotten to him. Hell, even 10 years ago. Right? Because whoever you pick for your bond, you need at least seven to nine years because you need at least three movies out of them before you change again. And that takes seven to nine years. And so I don't think Idris Elba at the age of 52 is going to sign on for seven years. Ooh, somebody in YouTube chat just brought up a really good one. Nicholas Holt. That one, I would. Yeah. Mm hmm. I love that idea. Absolutely love that idea. Lex Luthor and James Bond, what? And Beast? Yes, let's go.

5:45 Nicholas Holt. Oh, I hadn't thought of that. That's a good one. And he is British. And he's a good actor. So this is really interesting. I'm reading this like kind of article from GQ about Tom Harle. Yes, which he does. He is young like. You could do. A trilogy of James Bond movies just fine. I think he could also like maybe bring some of that light hearted. Ness of James Bond that you're kind of wanting. He's too short.

6:34 He is really short. But something that's really interesting is that he is that he pitched doing a James Bond origin story. James Bond is like a lot younger, I guess, like kind of being changed, like trained. He pitched it. It didn't work out. And that's actually what gave him the lead role of uncharted. But that would be kind of interesting, like a younger James Bond. Yeah. who's not really all that good and kind of stumbles every now and then. It could be somebody in Twitch chat saying Holt's too skinny. You can make anybody big. Look, seriously, go watch what Hugh Jackman does for Wolverine appearances. He is not that big normally. Right. He's talked extensively about the six to nine months worth of work that he puts in to get that big again every time he goes back to play Wolverine. Nobody's really very few people really naturally that big. Right.

7:34 So, again, Nicholas Holt, you could beef him up. But I don't think, you know, I don't think Bond needs to be burly per se. I can't think of really a burly Bond we've ever had. No. No. Yeah. I mean, he's in shape, but. I don't think that's a requirement for the character. I think Nicholas Holt is my favorite. That's a good one. And he's young enough to where he could do it for 10 years. You know, that's true. Yeah, he's like 35. So signing a 10 year deal to do that now, I don't know if his schedules, I don't know what his schedule is going to look like with DC stuff with him tagged to play Lex Luthor.

8:23 I don't know what kind of deal he signed. with Warner Brothers to play Lex, so that could get in the way as well, but we'll see. Anyway, I thought that was some interesting movie news, so I wanted to throw that in there.
