Danny Boyle Has This 1 Regret About Stepping Away From No Time To Die

Danny Boyle at the premiere of Yesterday in 2019Danny Boyle is reflecting on his decision to pull out of directing the most recent James Bond film three months after signing up for the project.The Oscar-winning filmmaker was originally supposed to helm Daniel Craig’s last outing as 007, No Time To Die.However, just three months after he was announced as its director, Danny parted ways with the Bond franchise, due to what was described at the time as – of course! – “creative differences”.During a new interview with Business Insider, the Trainspotting director admitted: “The thing I regret about that is the script was really good. John Hodge is a wonderful writer.”He added: “I don’t think [the producers] appreciated how good that script was, and because they didn’t, we moved on, and that’s the way it should be.”Daniel Craig as James Bond in No Time To DieBoth Danny and John – who previously collaborated on Trainspotting and its sequel – left No Time To Die in August 2018, after which Cary Joji Fukunaga took over as director.Cary also worked with Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and Phoebe Waller-Bridge on the No Time To Die screenplay.Back in 2019, Danny told Empire: “What John Hodge and I were doing, I thought, was really good. It wasn’t finished, but it could have been really good […] you have to believe in your process and part of that is the partnership I have with a writer.”The James Bond franchise has recently undergone yet more behind-the-scenes changes, with Amazon MGM Studios taking over creative control after long-time producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli stepped down from their roles after 30 years.Speculation is now rife about who will be taking over the role of James Bond, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson still the current frontrunner, though everyone from Tom Hardy, Sam Heughan and James Norton to Bridgerton star Regé-Jean Page, Bafta winner George Mackay and even former Superman star Henry Cavill have also been rumoured.READ MORE:James Bond Fans Spot 1 Subtle Hint That This Favourite To Play 007 Has Finally Been CastPierce Brosnan Has 1 Stipulation For The Next James Bond Amid Major Behind-The-Scenes Shake-UpDaniel Craig Makes It Clear He's Done Talking About James Bond With Epic 3-Word Response
