Dune director Denis Villeneuve is on board to direct the first James Bond film of the Amazon era, and though we don't know yet who will take up the 007 mantle, we now know that Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is reportedly on board to write the film, per Deadline.

Little is known about what the film will entail. It'll be the first James Bond film not to be produced by lifelong Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson since Broccoli's father Albert Broccoli first started producing the franchise all the way back in the '60s.
