Hypothesis has emerged of Kids of Males and Prisoner of Azkaban director Alfonso Cuarón as a frontrunner for the subsequent James Bond.
Within the wake of the information that Amazon had bought the rights to the James Bond franchise, it appears a certain factor that we’ll be getting plenty of 007 information in 2025. And whereas we will solely speculate on who might be taking up the function from Daniel Craig, there appears to be some robust buzz round a possible director, with eyes now circling Alfonso Cuarón to steer James Bond into the subsequent period.
Coming off of phrase that Amy Pascal and David Heyman are possible producing the subsequent James Bond image, Puck’s Matthew Belloni (on his podcast, The City) predicted that Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón appears to be the probably decide on the market, though he’s cautious to say that his prediction is strong. (Sorry, Matt, you realize each outlet is selecting this up…) “It’s an informed, speculative pick here…And it is not Chris Nolan. I think the fact that he’s tied up for the next year and a half on The Odyssey, I just don’t think Amazon wants to wait that long. I think Jeff Bezos says, ‘Give me my Bond movie now,’ and they just cannot wait. The fact that they went directly to these producers suggests…But they want to move pretty fast on this. I think it’s going to be Alfonso Cuarón.”
So the place does the hypothesis that Alfonso Cuarón is likely to be the director of James Bond #26 come from? In keeping with Belloni, his historical past with producer Heyman is essential. “They go back to Gravity. They go back 21, 22 years to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. They’ve worked together a long time, they’re friendly. I have heard that there are some talks, that there is a take, and that they are serious. Now, it’s not like he’s negotiating or anything like that, but my prediction is that Alfonso Cuarón will direct the next James Bond.”
Whereas some may need Christopher Nolan to be the one to steer James Bond following the Amazon buyout, Alfonso Cuarón is likely to be a a lot stronger alternative as director. He has, after all, labored with franchise fare earlier than (and plenty of would title Azkaban as the perfect Harry Potter film), so he has that going for him. Add to that that his distinct visible model and talent in distinctive motion sequences, and Cuarón may very well be the man.
What do you consider Alfonso Cuarón as a decide for guiding the subsequent James Bond film?
