The next film in the long-running James Bond franchise is “at least two years” away, according to James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli. In a recent interview with Deadline, the producer confirmed that they are working on a “reinvention of Bond” after Daniel Craig stepped down from the role with No Time To Die. “Nobody’s in the running,” Broccoli confirmed as they try to find Craig’s replacement. “We’re working out where to go with him, we’re talking that through. 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.” No Time To Die was Craig’s fifth and final stint as 007 after playing...

Star Wars fans were delighted for the return of Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen for Obi-Wan Kenobi, but with only six episodes to the Disney+ series, it’s no wonder the audience is asking for another season. While Lucasfilm and Disney have yet to announce anything, it now seems that there could be room for more storytelling based around the exiled Jedi Master, as the entire Obi-Wan Kenobi project was first intended to be a full film trilogy. Speaking to The Direct, the show’s original writer Stuart Beattie revealed his very first pitch to Lucasfilm for a three-film run focusing on McGregor’s beloved character. “So when I pitched my Obi-Wan story to Lucasfilm, I said, ‘There’s actually three stories here. Because there’s three different evolutions that the character has to ma...
