\n\tSteven Knight<\/a> is the latest bold faced name to join the James Bond creative team.<\/p>\n

\n\tKnight will write the script for filmmaker Denis Villeneuve, who is directing the next 007 film for Amazon MGM Studios<\/a> and producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman.<\/p>\n

\n\tKnight\u2019s hiring marks an end of an era for the Bond franchise, at least in terms of its writers. Actor Daniel Craig said goodbye to the character with 2021\u2019s No Time To Die, which also was the last Bond movie to be shaped by longtime scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, who worked on the franchise beginning with 1999\u2019s The World Is Not Enough.<\/p>\n

\n\tKnight is a respected scribe, who is working on a Peaky Blinders film and whose past work includes the 2002, feature Dirty Pretty Things, for which he earned an original screenplay Oscar nomination, Eastern Promises and Spencer, as well as creating the Jason Momoa Apple series See.<\/p>\n

\n\tHis lengthy list of TV credits also include Taboo, Rogue Heroes, A Thousand Blows, This Town, The Veil and All the Light We Cannot See. On the film side, he\u2019s written projects ranging from Tom Hardy\u2019s Locke to a stint writing Daisy Ridley\u2019s upcoming Star Wars movie, before exiting.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis next Bond movie will be the first without longtime franchise stewards Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, who in February reached a deal to allow Amazon creative control over the franchise. <\/p>\n

\n\tKnight is repped by CAA, United Agents and Davis Law Group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Steven Knight is the latest bold faced name to join the James Bond creative team.
