Amazon MGM Begins Production on New James Bond Film in London

Amazon MGM has officially commenced production on the next installment of the James Bond franchise, with producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman currently in London. At CinemaCon, executives Courtenay Valenti and Sue Kroll emphasized their commitment to honoring the character's legacy while introducing a 'fresh, exotic' new chapter. The transition of creative control from long-time producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli to Amazon was finalized earlier this year, enabling the new partnership to move forward. There remains speculation about the casting of the next Bond following Daniel Craig's final performance in 2021's 'No Time to Die,' with potential candidates being discussed in the media. This marks a significant shift in the franchise's direction, as Amazon aims to revitalize the iconic series. Fans are eagerly awaiting updates on both the casting and plot details of the upcoming film.
