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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
