@__danman007 The script got finshed this summer and filming was always after Dune 3 in December. They literally officially started casting calls this summer and will soon have an actor to announce. How are they meant to have a film finished by now?
One of the best directors? Maybe if you let hype merchants dictate your opinion. Villenueve is a dour and sexless director. Bond 26 will be a disaster regardless who gets cast as Bond.
Bond doesn't and has never needed arthouse/Oscar bait directors.
They shouldn't be waiting on director to finished his other commitments. Broccoli did this with Sam Mendes for Spectre when she should've promoted Alexander Witt from second unit director like her father used to do. Amazon MGM shouldn't wait on "prestige" directors.
Denis Villeneuve’s take on Bond 26 won't be a rookie origin story. He's planning a radical reinvention.
Instead of a fresh-faced novice learning the basics, we will get a mature operative with a deeply explored military history.
This approach lets Villeneuve ground the character in modern realism while preserving Bond's dangerous, lethal edge.
Indecisiveness is correct. I'm been saying Pascal & Heyman and Villenueve are likely disagreeing on who should be Bond. It shouldn't be that way. Bond should've been cast and had a picture finished and out in theaters by now. Pascal, Heyman, and Villenueve need to go.
The process of casting a new James Bond has been dragged out for years to a point where I can’t believe anyone still cares. The same indecisiveness which infected Broccoli after Skyfall has carried over to Amazon. People who are this indecisive cannot produce a good movie.
It is going to be either Elordi or Turner and I'm not 100% sold on them.
Honestly not feeling any of these candidates....and I pity who gets the role because with Villeneuve at the helm they'll have a dreary debut.
At least four test offers for the role to play James Bond have been given out and while unconfirmed, insiders tell Deadline that three of the four actors expected to test are Jack Lowden, Callum Turner and Josh O’Connor.

It's hard to cast a James Bond during the most Low T generation ever. They should probably just wait five more years so that healthy Gen Alpha candidates emerge.
Jack Lowden and Callum Turner are among the final names in the running for James Bond.
Final screen tests for Amazon MGM Studios' new 007 are set to happen in the next week.
