Producer Barbara Broccoli initially suggested just months after No Time to Die’s release that fans should be patient with the next film as they had plans to ‘reinvent’ the character.
She said in June 2022: “There isn’t a script and we can’t come up with one until we decide how we’re going to approach the next film because, really, it’s a reinvention of Bond.
“We’re reinventing who he is, and that takes time. I’d say that filming is at least two years away.”
Two and a half years later, are few indications about when the cameras will roll.
The Bond films are currently produced by Barbara and her half-brother Michael G Wilson.
Broccoli’s father, Albert R “Cubby” Broccoli, was the original producing co-founder of the Bond franchise, turning Ian Fleming’s literary series into a cinematic behemoth.
While many might assume that the Broccoli family name perhaps came after the vegetable, the family in fact claim it is the vegetable that is named after them.
Writer Dana Schwartz once tweeted an excerpt from a 1989 LA Times interview with Cubby, writing: “I feel like people don’t talk enough about how James Bond is controlled by the Broccoli family, of broccoli fame. They’re not named after broccoli, broccoli is named after them!!!!!!!!”
