nnBritish screenwriter Steven Knight has been officially selected to write the next James Bond film, collaborating with acclaimed director Denis Villeneuve. The project follows Daniel Craig’s final Bond appearance in ‘No Time to Die’ and Amazon MGM’s recent $1 billion acquisition of the franchise rights. Knight, creator of ‘Peaky Blinders’ and co-creator of ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?’, brings extensive experience from films like ‘Dirty Pretty Things’ and ‘Eastern Promises’. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy confirmed the development during a quarterly earnings call, praising Villeneuve as ‘one of today’s greatest filmmakers’. Production is expected to begin after Villeneuve completes his current work on the third ‘Dune’ installment.
