Alfonso Cuarón met with Amazon/MGM to direct Bond 26 (www.worldofreel.com)

A few weeks ago, a source inside of Amazon/MGM was telling Jeff Sneider that rumored Bond producer David Heyman was potentially eyeing Alfonso Cuarón to direct the next 007 instalment.

Matt Belloni is now saying on The Town podcast that he’s also heard Cuarón could direct Bond 26, adding that the filmmaker has met with Amazon and has a new “take” for how the next one would look like.

Amazon wants to move quickly and have a team ready once the $1 billion rights deal is closed with Barbara Broccoli. Yesterday, I reported that writers have already been hired for Bond 26; it makes sense that a director is now being eyed as well.

What this Cuarón rumor seems to imply is that Amazon/MGM are not willing to wait another 18 months for Christopher Nolan to complete and release “The Odyssey.” Hey, the studio spent over $1 billion to toss Broccoli aside, it’s no wonder they want to get this next Bond off the ground ASAP.

One of the best directors around, responsible for stuff like Children of Men and Prisoner of Azkaban. This got rather interesting.

Children of Men is brilliant, Gravity was cool too!

Fuck.

This is going to be a hard boycott.

Quite literally the one director that could get me to see an Amazon-owned Bond film. Still, I’ll pirate the shit out of it.
