By order of 007: Peaky Blinders’ creator Steven Knight to write next James Bond film

Well, this is coming together rather brilliantly, isn’t it?  

Following the announcement that Arrival and Dune director Denis Villeneuve will direct the next James Bond film for Amazon MGM Studios, it has now been announced that British screenwriter Steven Knight will be on scripting duties.  

Knight is best known for creating the hit TV show Peaky Blinders, as well as SAS Rogue Heroes, A Thousand Blows, The Veil and All the Light We Cannot See.  

He also wrote the screenplays for the Oscar-nominated films Eastern Promises and Spencer, as well as three films that he also directed: Hummingbird, Locke and Serenity.  

Knight’s upcoming projects include the hotly anticipated Peaky Blinders feature film for Netflix, The Immortal Man.  

There is no official release date or title for the 26th 007 movie – and still no official news regarding the casting of James Bond.  

Following 2021’s No Time To Die, Daniel Craig’s swansong as the martini-swigging secret agent, there have been several rumours regarding who will don the tuxedo next. From Aaron Taylor-Johnson to three reported studio favourites, all bets are (still) off.  

In March, it was announced that the long-serving producers of the films, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, had stepped away from the creative process and handed over full control to Amazon. This ended more than 60 years of the Broccoli family’s control over the Bond estate.  

Since then, the development of a new Bond adventure has been a high priority

Fans have expressed fears over Amazon’s control of the beloved film franchise, and rightly so. However, considering the current creative roster, it’s hard to deny that things aren't looking promising for James Bond’s next outing on the big screen.
