Next James Bond Movie Delayed

The untitled 25th James Bond movie has been delayed. Previously scheduled to arrive in theatres in late 2019, the movie is now pegged to arrive on February 14, 2020. That’s Valentine’s Day.

The movie is being directed by True Detective and Beasts of No Nation director Cary Fukunaga, who is the first American and second non-white person to direct a Bond film. No reason was provided for the delay, but it likely has to do with director Danny Boyle dropping out. Presumably extra time was needed for Fukunaga to get up to speed.

The 25th Bond movie starts filming at Pinewood Studios on March 4, 2019.

Daniel Craig returns to play Bond for a fifth and final time for the new movie. Other casting and plot details have not been announced, but keep checking back with GameSpot for more.

Black Panther Star Michael B. Jordan Joins New Tom Clancy Movies

Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan, who played the villain Killmonger in Marvel’s hit, has signed on to play a role in the upcoming Rainbow Six movie and another Tom Clancy film.

According to Variety, Jordan will play John Clark in the movies based on Clancy’s books Rainbow Six and Without Remorse. The Without Remorse movie is coming first, as it is an origin story for the character, with the Rainbow Six film landing later.

Studio Paramount is now reportedly taking meetings with potential directors and writers for the Without Remorse film, so it sounds like it’s still very early days. There is no word on other cast members or a release date.

The character John Clark has appeared in Tom Clancy movies before. He was played by Willem Dafoe in Clear and Present Danger, while Liev Schreiber played him in The Sum of All Fears.

A Splinter Cell movie, also based on Clancy’s work, is in development as well; Tom Hardy is set to appear as Sam Fisher in that film.

Other Clancy books that have been turned into films include The Hunt For Red October, Patriot Games, and NetForce. More recently, John Krasinski played the famous Clancy character Jack Ryan in a new Amazon TV series.
