James Bond’s veteran screenwriters have shared some of the secrets of writing 007’s memorable lines.

James Bond fans have been longing for some concrete information about who will take over from Daniel Craig as 007 after No Time To Die. In recent months, Tom Hardy has been one of the biggest names in the running, but his odds have begun to stagnate.

The first James Bond film premiered 60 years ago and has continued to keep fans captivated with every new addition to the franchise.There have been seven actors who have portrayed the iconic spy and 27 movies in the franchise.  The films are based on a 1953 novel by Ian Flemming about a British spy who works for the M16 and goes by the codename 007. Producers Albert R.

James Bond producer Michael G. Wilson has ruled out the possibility of a younger 007, claiming the next actor will likely be in their thirties.Wilson made the comment while appearing at an In Conversation event at London’s British Film Institute to celebrate 60 years of James Bond.”We’ve tried looking at younger people in the past, but trying to visualise it doesn’t work,” he said.“Remember, Bond’s already a veteran. He’s had some experience.

Manori Ravindran International Editor The tear-stricken faces peering up adoringly at James Bond producer Michael G. Wilson, seated in the royal box at Royal Albert Hall, during a lengthy standing ovation at “The Sound of 007” concert said it all: It’s not just movie music — the music, for this franchise at least, is the movie. Tuesday’s charity event at London’s grandest venue preceded the Oct. 5 release of feature documentary “The Sound of 007” on Amazon’s Prime Video (the streamer’s top executives for Europe were, unsurprisingly, in the box next to the Bond guardians), and didn’t hesitate to remind both Bond novices and grizzled veterans that the franchise is virtually synonymous with some of cinema’s most iconic tracks.

James Bond is too experienced for a fresh-faced approach.

All this Late Night Talking about Harry Styles playing James Bond seems to be nudging him ever closer to donning that famous white tuxedo.The dramatic slashing of his odds to a stunningly low 14-1 follows a flurry of betting this week on the former One Direction star succeeding Daniel Craig, who stepped down from the role after last year's No Time To Die. Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes said: “Although Henry Cavill is favourite to become the next James Bond, punters have different ideas.The franchise have talked about surprising the audience with their choice, and Harry Styles would certainly do that." Indeed, as Styles' movie Don’t Worry Darling went down a storm at the box office, a new wave of punters really do believe Harry is next in line to the 007 throne.This is a huge swing from the 33-1 bookies were offering only recently.The momentum now means Harry has left fellow one-time 66-1 longshots - Thor's Chris Hemsworth and Star Wars' Ewan McGregor - firmly in the dust.

talk of Idris Elba being the next 007, as well as Tom Hardy. “Bridgerton” star Regé-Jean Page is also tipped to become the martini-drinking secret agent.“We’ve tried looking at younger people in the past,” Wilson said at a Bond event at the British Film Institute on Friday, according to Deadline. “But trying to visualize it doesn’t work.”Craig, who took over as Bond from Pierce Brosnan in 2006, was 38 years old, and went on to appear in four 007 films in total.“Remember, Bond’s already a veteran,” Wilson said.

James Bond bosses are hard at work in looking for a new actor to take over as 007 after Daniel Craig stepped down last year. But the franchise leads, Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, are also looking for a new artist to take over the Bond song for the next movie.

James Bond film producer Michael G. Wilson, who runs Eon Productions with Barbara Broccoli, has revealed that a seduction scene from the 1963 thriller From Russia With Love is always used to test those aspiring to play Ian Fleming’s ruthless spy.

James Bond star, Daniel Craig, has now stepped down from the iconic role of 007, after remaining in the franchise for 15 years and acting in five films. Finally, last year, he rounded off his tenure as Bond in No Time To Die, where his version of the character was killed off for good.
