'It's sacred territory,' says Denis Villeneuve, director of next Bond movie
The upcoming Bond movie will be the first under Amazon's MGM Studios, which took creative control of the franchise under a new joint venture with longtime rights holders Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli earlier this year.
The franchise is yet to name a new lead actor following Daniel Craig's departure after No Time to Die in 2021, which earned nearly $800m (R14.09bn) in global box office collections.
Inspired by Ian Fleming's novels, the Bond franchise has spanned more than 60 years, grossing more than $7bn (R123.33bn) at the global box office, making it one of the most successful ever.
Amy Pascal and David Heyman will produce the next Bond movie.

'I'm a diehard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory. I intend to honour the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come. This is a huge responsibility,' Villeneuve said.

‘F1: The Movie' races to $140m in opening weekend
F1: The Movie raced to the top spot at the box office in its opening weekend, earning more than $140m (R2.48bn) globally. That includes $55.6m (R984m) in the US, with $25m (R619.6m ) of that coming on the movie's opening day on Friday, according to The Numbers. The movie, which stars Brad Pitt and was executive-produced by seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, was filmed at F1 racetracks through the 2024 season. Pitt plays an F1 driver who comes out of retirement to help a struggling team while mentoring an up-and-coming young driver. According to Forbes, F1: The Movie outpaced Napoleon ($78.8m or R1.39bn in 2023) for the biggest opening weekend for an Apple Studios film. However, with the cost of making F1: The Movie reportedly topping $350m (R6.20bn ) , it will need a continued run of success at the box office to make money.

Khloe Kardashian clears up the rumours: Just a nose job, not a new face!
Khloe Kardashian arrives at San Giorgio Maggiore on the wedding day of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos with Lauren Sanchez, in Venice Image: Marco BERTORELLO / AFP Khloe Kardashian has detailed all the cosmetic procedures she has undergone. The 41-year-old reality star - who has seven-year-old daughter True and two-year-old son Tatum with ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson - commented on a video from a doctor breaking down her "transformation" over the years and while she took it as a "compliment" that he had listed a number of different treatments, she insisted the speculation was inaccurate but confirmed she had undergone a nose job, fillers, and other cosmetic work.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading The doctor, Jonny Betteridge, shared a video on his clinic's Instagram account in which he compared photos from her attendance at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding to some taken "many years ago' to 'appreciate just how much she's changed over the years.' Noting his thoughts were "purely speculative and based on my professional opinion", Jonny captioned the post: 'Based on recent photos, I believe she may have had the following work done. 'A temporal brow lift to elevate the outer brow area, Upper blepharoplasty to smooth the upper eyelids, Rhinoplasty for a more sculpted nose, Lip filler to enhance volume and shape, A face and neck lift for overall tightness and definition, [and] A chin implant for lower face projection. 'She looks dramatically different from a few years ago, and whether you see it as glow up or glam makeover, there's no denying she's created a bold new look for herself (sic)" Shortly afterwards, the Good American founder herself commented on the post. She wrote: 'I take this as a great compliment. 'First off I think these photos are about 15 years apart, But here's a list of things that I have done. I've been very open in the past about what I have done so here we go." According to Khloe, she has had a nose job performed by Dr. Raj Kanodia, 'laser Hair for the hairline and everywhere else' at Sev Laser Aesthetics, "soft wave laser for skin tightening" at Software Therapy, and 'collagen baby Threads' underneath her chin and neck from The Things We Do. In addition, after having skin cancer removed from her face in 2023, Khloe noted she had also visited 70 Spa Laser + Aesthetic Center for "Botox and sculptra where my face tumor was removed in my cheek'. The Kardashians star has had "filler in the past". She added: 'But not any over the last few years (I hear it never goes away, so l'm sure it's still there but calmed down)." Khloe also stressed the non-surgical changes she has made over the years, noting she had 'lost 80 pounds over the years (slow and steady)' with a coach named Joe Paris and also credits 'Salmon sperm facials/ regular facials, peptides, vitamins and daily skin care" for her complexion.
