James Bond's burgeoning creative collective has welcomed a fresh face, one intricately tied to the Cillian Murphy-led phenomenon, "Peaky Blinders." According to reports, the upcoming 007 flick will be steering its narrative course from a screenplay penned by Steven Knight, whose credits also include the Jason Momoa-starrer, "See." Knight has been entrusted with the task of scripting for Denis Villeneuve, the director steering the next Bond adventure for Amazon MGM Studios.
"No Time To Die" marked the final cinematic outing orchestrated by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, a duo whose storied tenure with the franchise commenced with 1999's "The World Is Not Enough." This film not only heralded the end of an era for these veteran scribes but also bid adieu to actor Daniel Craig's illustrious portrayal of Bond in the 2021 installment.
However, Knight, now 65, brings his own storied resume to this high-stakes endeavor, making his involvement anything but ordinary. Amidst his current endeavors on the "Peaky Blinders" film adaptation, the British screenwriter boasts an impressive backlog that encompasses "Eastern Promises," "Spencer," "See," and "Dirty Pretty Things," the latter earning him an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay.
His television credits continue to multiply, with highlights such as "All the Light We Cannot See," "A Thousand Blows," "Rogue Heroes," "Taboo," "This Town," and "The Veil," painting a vibrant tapestry of narrative excellence across both the big and small screens.
