I thought Knight was writing a script based on an idea by Villeneuve? Or did I imagine that?? 😂

Facts, and Deke, rarely go hand in hand.

Yes, @Mathis1 , you’re correct: Knight has stated he will be writing the script based off of the idea that Villeneuve pitched to the producers (and which obviously won him the gig to direct Bond 26). Villeneuve will have a very firm voice on the story through the subsequent drafts.

I suppose put it this way: do the majority of paid jobs involve someone just doing whatever they want? Maybe a few, but generally you're going from some sort of plan or brief from your employers about what you're going to do. This has been my experience regardless of whether it's been a creative job or something more menial. That's what Knight is doing here, as cool as the job of writing a Bond script is.
