    Pascal and Herman will have engaged a casting director, who will be busy compiling lists of potential actors and also searching for fresh actors who have yet to break through. That way, when Villeneuve has completed filming Dune 3 and is in post production, they will be ready for him and he will be available for auditions. That's when the real casting process will begin. Until then, they will be working with Steven Knight on ideas and fleshing out outlines, and then more detailed treatments. Once the produces, writer, and director and Amazon-MGM are happy, Knight will write a full 1st draft screenplay. I would estimate that to be early next year.

    I can understand that aficionados of the movie Bond would like an official 'team' looking after the integrity of the franchise, and respecting the legacy of the series. But I have to admit, after No Time to Die, I'm quite happy for that duty of care to be passed onto someone else.

    My dear friend, @ColonelSun, your knowledgeable contributions are always a balm. Many thanks for putting to rest the many logistic speculations that have been thrown into the proverbial hat for the past weeks or months. That being said, when do you think Villeneuve will be free of Dune 3, filming wise? Probably by the end of the year as well, right? So everything seems to be in perfect alignment. I'm so glad (in Connery's voice) ;)

    My feelings exactly. Integrity was properly defenestrated four years ago, for the sake of whims and under the guise of creative liberties (no need to further argue this in this particular thread, but from having Boyle's so called vision, to the narrative choices of NTTD, we can all agree that they wouldn't be keeping with the canonical line that, for better or worse, had aligned their product for 60 years. They just couldn't keep it up after CR. SF was a welcome variation that worked, a fluke made by talent and timing). So I'm quite glad to see new people around, even if I do entertain the hypothesis of EON lurking in the shadows, and I'm quite fine with that.

    All and all, brave new world, whatever brave means.

    I think Dune 3 shoot will probably wrap end of this year. Obviously Villeneuve will have post production, which I think will be about 8 - 9 months, but in that time he will have time to work on Bond and Knight will be working on the screenplay.

    There's a zero percent chance that Amazon releases Bond 26 in August or September, (unless right at the end, like B25) so that means it's either July or October or later. I think given the current timelines July is too optimistic. Most likely it will be another 3 years, at the start of October 2028.

    Bond's world building and character (although a template) is being formed at the moment. November to February are classic writing months.
