The release date for the wide screens of the film Bond 25 is scheduled for February 14, 2020. The upcoming story about Agent 007 will be 25 in a series of adventure militants about the "main" British spy. The lead actor, as in the previous four films, will be Daniel Craig. However, according to the actor himself, this will be his last incarnation as Agent 007. Only Roger Moore, who played in 7 episodes of the film, managed to be Bond longer than Craig.
Story line
Bond is trying to "tie up" with a spy career and retire. The commander marries his lover from the previous series, Madeleine Swann, played the role of Frenchwoman Lea Seydoux. A calm measured life with your beloved wife becomes an excellent occasion to forget about all previous adventures. But the secret services agent fails to find peace for a long time, the sudden death of his wife forces Bond to return to Mi6 with the only goal - to avenge the death of his wife.
In the 25th film about Bond, the Navy superagent after the death of Madeleine, his beloved wife, will be able to love again. There is an assumption that his girlfriend will again become a Russian girl. The last time the main character of Russian origin met in the plot in 1999. As with all previous Bondians, a new villain will appear in the 25th film, probably marked with a scar. A large number of expensive cars, beautiful women and special effects familiar to fans of the commander are necessarily included in the script.
The main idea of the struggle in Bond 25 while Boyle was the director, it was proposed to contrast the strongest world superpowers of the Western and Russian world in a new round of the Cold War. However, it is not known whether his proposal will remain in the new version of the script, which is written by the famous tandem of British screenwriters Neil Purvis and Robert Wade.
Director's Battle for the Chair
In order to appoint a film director, the producers had to make a lot of effort. The first challenger was Sam Medes, who shot several parts of the bond: Spectrum and Skyfall Coordinates. But the director himself refused to shoot the next part of the franchise.
Later, candidates were considered: Christopher Nolan, Ian Demange, Denis Mackenzie, Denis Villeneuve, Danny Boyle. Villeneuve himself refused the offer, after receiving an Oscar for directing the film "Arrival", he decided to focus on the film adaptation of the remake of "Dunes". And the British director Danny Boyle began shooting the film, but then refused because of serious disagreements that arose between him and Craig. The subject of the conflict was the figure of the main negative character of the picture - the "Russian villain." To play the role, it was supposed to invite the famous Polish actor Tomasz Kota, which Craig categorically did not work for, and under the terms of the contract it was he who approved the candidatures of all the participants in the filming. So Boyle, approved as a director in March 2018, removed himself from his post on his own in August 2018.
Now the director’s chair was taken by American Carey Joji Fukunaga, who shot in 2009 “Anonymous” and in 2011 “Jane Eyre”.Carey is also known as the director of the series "True Detective" and the film "Bezrennye Beasts." By the beginning of 2020, the shooting of the painting Bond 25 will be completed.
New bond
Passions about Bond 25 have not yet died away, and fans put forward their versions of who can become the “new” Mi6 superagent. After all, Craig categorically refused to participate in the next episode. Although he also did not want to act in this, the substantial amount of the fee changed his mind.
Until recently, the most “probable” Bonds after 25 were Tom Hiddleston, Luke Evans and Idris Elba. About Hiddleston, Barbara even said that he was "too perfect for Bond." Fine aristocratic manners, the British endurance of this actor made themselves felt even in the villainous Marvel roles. After such an experience of 10 years working with Disney, Hiddleston would hardly have signed up for a franchise with Bond. Although the bookmakers persistently predicted his place as a favorite in place of the "new" Bond.
But the media leaked information that a young actor Jamie Bell was invited to negotiations with the producers of Bond. As a result of communication, the guy managed to conquer everyone, even Barbara Broccoli participating in the franchise for 20 years. If he is approved for the role, then 30-year-old Bell has a chance to become the "youngest" Bond. But age is not a hindrance, especially since the actor has a decent track record of Teleport, Nymphomaniac, and Billy Eliot. The novice actor, according to the producers of Bond, is much more suitable for a franchise than a real star showman. After all, it is precisely because of Craig’s unwillingness to sacrifice his creative career that is not related to the agent’s life, the majority of conflict situations arise on the set of the film.
Actors
In addition to Craig, it is known for certain about shooting in Bond 25 Leia Seydoux, in the role of his wife, Madeleine Stone. The role of the permanent secretary of Bond - Yves Menipenn, which will be performed by British actress Naomi Melanie Harris, is prescribed in the script. Naomi has already starred in Bond: Skyfall Coordinates 2012 and Spectrum 2015. Of other famous characters based on the novel by Jan Fleming about the Navy commander, Bill Taner, the head of the British intelligence service, will definitely appear in the 25th episode. The Englishman Rory Kinner, who has already starred in Bond, will play his role, like Naomi in 2015 and 2012.
The producers of the film dream of attracting singer Adele, who so successfully wrote the soundtrack to "007: Skyfall," but there is no official confirmation of her consent. Filming, according to Barbara Broccoli, is being held in Ireland, from where the entire crew for Bond 25 was recruited.
