Q actor Ben Whishaw says James Bond needs to be “renewed” to live on

Christopher Nolan is reportedly in talks to direct the next two James Bond movies.According to sources at World Of Reel, Bond producer Barbara Broccoli is “zeroing in” on Nolan, but talks have been delayed by the Hollywood strikes and the director’s promotional commitments to Oppenheimer.It’s said the deal would see Nolan write and direct two James Bond films, led by Daniel Craig’s as-yet-unannounced successor.According to sources at the publication, the main sticking point with the deal is the amount of creative freedom Nolan wants for the project. Other directors cited as potential back-ups include Danny Boyle (Trainspotting), Denis Villeneuve (Dune) and Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy).During an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast earlier this year, Nolan said it would be “an amazing privilege” to direct a James Bond film.“The influence of those movies in my filmography is embarrassingly apparent,” he explained.

The New York Times opinion columnist Ross Douthat scorched the novel in a piece headlined “How America Made James Bond ‘Woke,’” warning that it juxtaposes a progressive version of the globetrotting spy against a caricature of conservatism, “007 is charged with protecting King Charles III from a dastardly plot hatched by a super villain,” Aethelstan of Wessex, who can be described as a “Brexiteer, a right-wing populist, apparently the true and natural heir to Goldfinger and Blofeld.”He goes on to note that Bond, known for womanizing in the past, is in a romantic “situationship” with an immigration lawyer he permits to sleep with other men, and that his mission is that he “must travel to Viktor Orban’s Hungary to infiltrate the vast right-wing conspiracy and avert a terrorist attack at Charles’s coronation.”Douthat lamented it as yet another example of “American-style wokeness” asserting its power throughout the Anglosphere or countries culturally and linguistically connected to England.
