Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight to pen script for next James Bond film
Los Angeles, Aug 1 (PTI) Steven Knight, the writer and creator of popular Netflix series 'Peaky Blinders", will be penning the script for the new James Bond movie. Hollywood banner Amazon MGM Studios recently roped in filmmaker Denis Villeneuve of 'Dune" fame to direct the latest instalment of the long-running spy franchise. The project will be the first film from Amazon since the banner bought 'MGM Studios' in 2022. Tanya Lapointe, Villeneuve's wife and creative partner, will serve as an executive producer. Amy Pascal and David Heyman will be producing the movie. According to entertainment news outlet The Hollywood Reporter, Knight's hiring marks the end of a chapter for the Bond movies, especially when it comes to the writers. As a writer, Knight has penned some of the most critically-acclaimed titles of recent times — 'Eastern Promises", 'Locke", 'Allied", 'Spencer" and 'Maria". Actor Daniel Craig played James Bond for the last time in 2021's 'No Time To Die", which was also the final Bond film written by longtime writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. They had been working on the series since Pierce Brosnan-led 'The World Is Not Enough" in 1999. With Villeneuve stepping in as director and Steven Knight onboard as writer for the latest chapter in one of cinema's longest-running franchises, anticipation is mounting over who will take on the iconic role of the spy with a licence to kill. Craig portrayed 007 in five films, beginning with 2006's 'Casino Royale", followed by 'Quantum of Solace" (2008), 'Skyfall" (2012), 'Spectre" (2015) and 'No Time To Die". Amazon acquired MGM in 2022 and gained the rights to distribute all future James Bond films. However, progress stalled for some time due to a standoff between Amazon executives and longtime Bond producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. In February this year, Amazon MGM Studios, Wilson and Broccoli formed a new joint venture that allowed them to co-own James Bond intellectual property rights. However, Amazon MGM took the creative control of the franchise. PTI RB RB RB view comments First Published: August 01, 2025, 11:00 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Peaky Blinders writer Steven Knight to pen gritty new James Bond film for Amazon MGM
The razor-sharp mind behind Peaky Blinders is officially stepping into MI6 territory. Steven Knight, the Birmingham-born screenwriter known for creating one of the most violently stylish gangster series of all time, has been tapped to write the next James Bond film. Steven Knight joins the Bond universe, and fans are already losing it The announcement sent both Peaky and Bond fans into a collective frenzy online, because let us be honest, Tommy Shelby writing 007? That is the crossover nobody saw coming but everybody needed. Amazon MGM is plotting Bond's comeback with a dream team Amazon MGM Studios confirmed the move on Thursday, solidifying its plans to reboot the beloved franchise since acquiring creative control in February. Not only is Knight on board, but the legendary Denis Villeneuve, the cinematic brain behind Dune and Blade Runner 2049, will direct. Translation: Bond 26 is about to go dark, edgy, and ridiculously elite. While there is no official title or release date yet, fans can expect something far moodier than the typical shaken-not-stirred fare. Think slow burns, morally grey heroes, and more psychological warfare than car chases. Who will be the next Bond? Internet's still playing detective The question that refuses to die: Who is going to be the next 007? Names like Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Harris Dickinson, Tom Holland, Ben-Adir, and Jacob Elordi are being tossed around like grenades in a spy mission. But Amazon MGM has kept lips tighter than Q's security protocols. No actor has been confirmed, and speculation is only getting wilder. Meanwhile, Daniel Craig's shadow still looms large, with fans divided on whether the franchise needs a full reboot or just a new face with the same grit. Knight's resume screams chaos, grit, and global obsession Knight is not just known for Peaky Blinders, the man also co-created Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (yes, really), and has delivered hits like Taboo, See, and All the Light We Cannot See. Oh, and he is got a Netflix Peaky film on the way, so you know he is booked and busy. The Bond films have grossed more than $7 billion globally since 1962, but this next instalment might just be the most ambitious yet, with Knight's smoky drama and Villeneuve's cinematic wizardry promising a version of 007 we have never seen before.
