Cuaron Directing Bond Rumors Reignite

One person whose name has been unexpectedly linked to the James Bond franchise in recent times has been Alfonso Cuaron.

The “Children of Men,” “Gravity” and “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” director hasn’t helmed a film since “Roma” in 2018, though did direct the limited series “Disclaimer” last year that sadly failed to make much impact.

In December last year, he revealed he turned down a serious offer to direct a James Bond film which seemed likely to be “Quantum of Solace” going by the details he shared. Cuaron ultimately did have a small voice role in that film.

Then two weeks ago, shortly after Amazon took creative control of the franchise, a report emerged indicating Cuaron may direct the next film if producer David Heyman became attached to the franchise.

This week came the news that Heyman and Amy Pascal have emerged as the likely producers to take the reins of the films, and now Matt Belloni has said on The Town podcast that he’s heard Cuaron could well be directing the film.

In fact, he indicates Cuaron has already met with Amazon and has a new ‘take’ for how the next one could work. It comes on the heels of a report that writers have already been hired for the project.

If true, it all strongly suggests Amazon isn’t going to wait around to get going on the film – so no waiting around another 18 months to two years for Chris Nolan to finish “The Odyssey”.
