Zack Snyder plans a project featuring a young James Bond
“It would be cool to see a 20-year-old James Bond!” Tired of superhero films, the director would turn to 007.
Barely out of the making of Rebel Moon, Zack Snyder expressed his desire to attack a cinema icon: James Bond. It must be said that the director has a habit of leaving his comfort zone: over the course of his films, he touches on everything, horror, superheroic productions, or even science fiction. Zack Snyder is now suspicious of the famous figure of the British secret agent.
Freshly abandoned by its last performer Daniel Craig, the British spy finds himself devoid of carnal envelope. The challenge is daunting: who will have what it takes to play the new James Bond? Zack Snyder brushes aside these questions by imposing a fresher look on the question. The director whispered the idea of centering the plot on a young spy.
“It would be cool to see a 20 year old James Bond. Observe his rise, see how his humility grows, as well as the traumas of youth contributing to the construction of a James Bond. I think there is something to dig into…“, declared the filmmaker to The Atlantic.
Will this proposal be heard by the historical producers of the saga? The latest news was that Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson were looking to don’t get too young Jump…
What about for the public? The cinematic landscape has changed considerably in recent years, and the spy with it. The traditional image of the imperturbable James Bond has been examined. The new generation of viewers seems more interested in more nuanced and emotionally complex characters. The vision of Zack Snyder for a young 007 could it offer a story potentially rich in character development and heightened psychological depth?
We do not yet know if the filmmaker will truly take up this challenge, having mentioned his weariness with comic book adaptations: “Che films are in dead ends now“. He explains that these kinds of stories are no longer capable of being autonomous.
“No one thinks they’re seeing a unique movie when it’s a superhero movie.”, says Zack Snyder.
Perhaps this James Bond project will restore the filmmaker’s filmography, since Rebel Moon seems far from unanimous? Unless he ultimately signs for other projects, obviously.
The next 007 must not be too young: “James Bond is already a veteran”
