James Bond in 2025? Costume designer Jany Temime questions if the spy formula still fits
Jany Temime, the acclaimed costume designer behind Skyfall and Spectre, is asking the question many longtime fans have wondered: can James Bond still work in today's world? Speaking to Deadline at the SCAD Lacoste Film Festival in France, Temime, who helped shape Daniel Craig's sharp look in the 2012 and 2015 films, reflected on her time with the franchise and the challenges it faces now.

'We made two beautiful James Bonds, two amazing gems,' Temime said, crediting the magic to Craig, director Sam Mendes, and producer Barbara Broccoli - a combination she called the 'Golden Trio.'
Temime didn't hold back on the hurdles that lay ahead. She recalled that Mendes had already worked hard a decade ago to add more depth and nuance to the Bond character. 'He tried his best with a lot of psychology, talent, and his incredible quality as a director,' she said.
Now, she believes the stakes are even higher. 'I'm a James Bond fan, but how are you going to have a guy killing somebody, making love to a woman, and then drinking a Martini to forget... I'm really wondering how you can adapt that formula to 2025,' she added.
Her comments come shortly after reports that Dune director Denis Villeneuve has been tapped to helm the next Bond film. It will be the first Bond movie not directly overseen by the Broccoli family, after Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson handed over creative control to Amazon and MGM Studios earlier this year.

Temime expressed full confidence in the new creative team. She spoke highly of producer David Heyman, with whom she worked during the Harry Potter films. She also called Denis Villeneuve's upcoming direction 'excellent' and wished the team luck.
However, she refrained from speculating about who might play the next Bond. 'I know so many incredible, wonderful, sexy young actors, but it depends what direction they want to go.'
Temime was being honored with the SCAD Etoile Award at the Lacoste Film Festival. Reflecting on her journey, she shared stories from Harry Potter, including how she dressed the characters to look relatable, not magical. FAQs What is the next James Bond movie coming out?
The next James Bond film is currently in development with Denis Villeneuve set to direct, but no official title or release date has been announced yet. Which James Bond is most popular?
Sean Connery is widely regarded as the most iconic James Bond, though Daniel Craig gained massive popularity with modern audiences. What does 007 stand for?
The code '007' designates Bond's license to kill, with '00' signifying elite status in MI6 and the '7' being his specific agent number. Where can I watch the James Bond movies?
James Bond films are available on streaming platforms like Amazon Prime Video, which owns the franchise rights through MGM.

Dumbbells to kettlebells: Kareena Kapoor's intense workout routine is power-packed, fans call it ‘inspirational'
Kareena Kapoor is a fitness enthusiast, and one of her workout videos that surfaced online showed the grit behind her glam. A workout video posted by her fitness trainer, Mahesh, on Instagram offered a sneak peek into her intense, high-intensity fitness training. She was seen sporting athleisure wear that included a pink sports bra and black tights. Let's take a closer look at each of her workouts. Kareena Kapoor gives fitness motivation with her intense, full-body workout routine.(PC: Instagram) The set of exercises Kareena did targeted the full body, from strength training that improved the core muscle group strength, like kettlebell raises, to functional conditioning exercises like kick-through. The workouts used fitness equipment like a kettlebell and a dumbell. Here's the breakdown of each of the exercises she did in the workout video: Dumbell shadow boxing: Holding dumbbells, she punched into the air while moving in a circle. This exercise engages the muscles around the shoulders and forearms while also challenging balance through continuous circular motion and shadow boxing. Kettlebell raise with lunge: For the next workout, Kareena used a kettlebell, raising it overhead while performing a smooth lunge. The movement also included a swing motion. This activates both the lower and upper body, working the core, shoulders, and legs. This exercise was done on both sides, targeting her obliques (side abdominal muscles.) Kick through: Kick through is a high-energy workout performed from a crawling position on the ground. It involves twisting the torso and kicking the legs out to either side. This exercise effectively targets the obliques, core (muscles near the central abdomen), shoulders, glutes (butt muscles), and hamstrings. How did the fans react? Fans were enamoured with her workout routine, as one Instagram user remarked, 'So inspiring to her workouts 🙌🙌.' Another reminisced about her journey, recalling her size zero era (during Tashan, Golmaal 3 eras) to embracing her natural curves and ageing. They said, 'I love that Kareena our OG queen, the one many girls like have grown up idolising gave permission for this video. Thank you for not just indorsing body positivity but being it - from zero figure to embracing her curves she is leading by example in a world hyper fixated on 'perfection' 👸🏼.'
