Barbara Broccoli on next James Bond 'at least two years away from production': “We’re Reinventing Him”

EXCLUSIVE: James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli has revealed that it will be “at least two years“ before the next 007 movie begins filming and that the task of finding an actor to replace Daniel Craig hasn’t begun “because it’s a reinvention of Bond.”

Speaking to us at a star-studded private event in central London to honor Broccoli and her brother Michael G. Wilson for their BFI Fellowships, Broccoli wouldn’t be drawn on who would play Bond next but did offer an update on the decision-making process.

“Nobody’s in the running,” she disclosed. “We’re working out where to go with him, we’re talking that through. There isn’t a script and we can’t come up with one until we decide how we’re going to approach the next film because, really, it’s a reinvention of Bond. We’re reinventing who he is and that takes time. I’d say that filming is at least two years away.”

RIP James Bond

Hey, good news!

Maybe they've reinvent him as a suave, debonair gentleman spy with a keen sense of humour and an eye for "the ladies"!

Tried that already with Roger Moore and many seem to dislike him. Another take on it was pretty boy Pierce Brosnan minus Moore's charm. He was just a coat hanger who went through the obligatory motions.

Connery fit the mold as well. Humour was drier but by Thunderball the formula was well established.

Sadly I doubt we'll ever get a return to proper Bond films.

sounds like another 7 year break.

We’re Reinventing Him

So we are gonna ruin him by making him something no one wants. Got it.

Probably

I'd set in asia with a charismatic actor. The problem with having scenes in the west is everybody is real life is a frumpy, obese ugly slob. Having a whole movie full of handsome, beautiful people is just so far removed from reality that it's an insult to the audience. Set it in Asia everybody will fit in, audiences will not be in shock and hopefully get inspired to start changing this complete catastrophe of morbidly obeseness.

I only watch Cubby Brocolli Bond, NEVER Barabara. Nobody wants Bond "reinvented".
