via Belloni: JB26 in talks with Edward Berger, Denis Villeneuve, Edgar Wright Jonathan Nolan & Paul King. Cuaron out. Antibody Jun 19, 22:06

Presumably Jonathan Nolan would be writing for his brother. {nm} Antibody Jun 19, 22:07

Jonathan is a director too {nm} Moviesnob Jun 20, 05:41

Yeah... 7 episodes of television...no way MGM would give Bond to a first time feature director. TheWeekendWarrior Jun 20, 05:44

He's been a showrunner twice. If you dont think he's in consideration then you should talk to Belloni. Moviesnob Jun 20, 06:19

This will probably go to Paul King. He's worked with producer David Heyman before, similar to Cuaron. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 20, 07:12

A showrunner is more of a writer-producer than a director. {nm} Antibody Jun 20, 07:20

used to be fairly true. then the Hyphenates came for Prestige TV and the Suits said "It is good" {nm} spaghetti freddy Jun 20, 10:59

Don't see how DVILL can start JB26 earlier than CNOLA. {nm} Antibody Jun 19, 22:22

Maybe he can convince Warners to delay Dune Messiah.. doesn't it take place a long time after the original Dune book? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 20, 05:36

Yes but they way they are casting it means they are adapting other books too Moviesnob Jun 20, 05:40

in my head: "Hey Chris! I'll trade you Dune:Messiah for JB26." 😁 {nm} tealfan Jun 20, 08:56

If Aaron Pierre will be Bond, they should get Steve McQueen {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 20, 05:45

But out of that bunch I'd prefer Berger or Wright... anyone named "Ed" basicallyi :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 20, 05:45

Paul King is the one mention that is really odd {nm} Moviesnob Jun 20, 06:22

I thought the opposite because as mentioned above, he's worked with Heyman quite a bit already. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jun 20, 07:12

Wright seems odd, since he walked from Ant-Man and I assume Bond's producers would have similarly tight reins. But what do I know. {nm} TFeeney Jun 20, 07:42
