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.
If it's film noir directed by Otto Preminger and it stars Dana Andrews and Linda Darnell you know it will be something. And Fallen Angel is indeed something special.
Ridley Scott: "hey van my boy, the scene is Deckard shooting at one of the replicants he's been sent out to retire, just give us some nice music".
Vangelis: "HOLD MY BEER RIDLEY".
