50 minutes ago

Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle is to reunite with Daniel Craig for the 25th Bond film, which is due to be released from 25 October 2019.

Boyle will also reunite with Trainspotting writer John Hodge, who is creating an original screenplay.

Production is set to begin on 3 December at the UK's Pinewood Studios.

EON Productions' Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli described Boyle as "exceptionally talented", adding they were "delighted" to have him on board.

The film will reunite the Trainspotting director with Craig, with whom he worked on a short film made for the 2012 London Olympics.


The mini James Bond film Boyle made for the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony was capped off by a double parachute jump

Donna Langley, chair of Universal, which is distributing the film in the UK and internationally, hailed "the unparalleled combination of Danny's innovative filmmaking and Daniel's embodiment of 007".


Chair of MGM's board, Kevin Ulrich, added: "We couldn't be more thrilled than to bring the next 007 adventure to the big screen, uniting the incomparable Daniel Craig with the extraordinary vision of Danny Boyle."

MGM is distributing the film in the US from 8 November 2018, with Ulrich adding it had been 16 years since the company last distributed a Bond film, Die Another Day.

Craig confirmed last August he would be returning to make his fifth Bond, having previously starred in Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and Spectre.


Boyle's other current projects include All You Need is Love, a Richard Curtis-scripted film that revolves around the music of The Beatles.

Helena Bonham Carter can't be a Bond villain unless Johnny Depp is bond. Or at least Q or something. It's the law.

I first read this as "Danny Dyer" and I was so confused.

James Bond: Cary Joji Fukunaga to direct next Bond film3 hours ago

The man behind Netflix series Maniac has been named as the director of the next James Bond film.

Cary Joji Fukunaga replaces Danny Boyle, who dropped out last month blaming "creative differences".

Producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli praised Fukunaga's "versatility and innovation".

He recently directed Netflix's dark comedy Maniac, starring Emma Stone and Jonah Hill, and directed season one of True Detective.

Fukunaga's work on the HBO crime drama series won him an Emmy in 2014. He also directed 2015's Beasts of No Nation, starring Idris Elba.

And the Elba connection wasn't lost on many commentators.
