SICARIO Director Denis Villeneuve Expresses An Interest In Helming A BOND Movie
Denis Villeneuve is the talent behind the likes of Enemy, Prisoners and the highly-touted action/thriller Sicario. Though he's currently working on a sequel to Blade Runner, the French-Canadian filmmaker has expressed an interest in directing a Bond movie one day...
Denis Villeneuve is one of the most exciting talents behind the camera at the moment. After stunning audiences with Prisoners and perplexing them with the deeply psychological Enemy, he's delved into the action genre this month with the phenomenal Sicario. When asked by Coming Soon whether he preferred making 'genre films', the French-Canadian maestro brought up his love of James Bond and expressed a desire to helm a Bond movie one day:
"It’s strange, because I understand that each genre has its own specific rules, but for me, they are all movies. I’m just attracted to try to do different things, and I was very excited to make a movie that required more action. I was raised with James Bond. I love James Bond movies. I would love to do a James Bond movie one day. Action is very cinematic. I’m not someone that loves dialogue – I am someone that loves movement. Action, if it’s well done, can be very poetic and meaningful."
With Skyfall director Sam Mendes set to depart the popular spy franchise following the release of Spectre this fall, MGM will be looking for a worthy candidate to replace him. However, with Blade Runner 2 next on his busy schedule, it may be a while before that dream can become a reality. Do you think Villeneuve's a good fit for Bond - and if not, then who? Sound off below!
Spectre will be released October 26 in the UK and November 6 in the US. In the meantime, be sure to catch Sicario in theatres this weekend - it's worth it, I promise!
