JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2 Director Chad Stahelski Wants to Do a JAMES BOND Movie!
I don't know if you've seen John Wick: Chapter 2 yet, but I thought it was even better than the first film! That movie was so awesomely action-packed and completely hardcore. I even thought there was more substance to the story this time around.
Director Chad Stahelski did a hell of a job on the movie, and I'm super stoked to see what his future holds. One movie franchise that he'd like to take on is James Bond. As of right now, the next James Bond film is director-less. If producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli ask Stahelski to take on the gig, he wouldn't have a problem jumping on board. During an interview with MovieWeb the director said:
"I'm interested in projects where you can world create. To jump back into somebody else's world where it's already been around for so long would be scary. But if there was one property, that wouldn't be a bad one to try and invest yourself. Especially because of the ebb and flow of the Bond universe right now, I think the timing is good for a slight reinvention with a different perspective shift. Bond has gone from completely serious to totally cheeky to really fun again, to emotional, to serious, to internal, to external. I would love to give the pitch and if they got my wacky version of it, and it fit, yeah. That's almost a dream too big."
I would totally love to see a Bond movie directed by Stahelski! Who the hell wouldn't?! Especially after seeing what he's done with the John Wick franchise. He could bring a completely new and fresh vibe to the franchise and breathe some badass life into it again. After the last film Bond film, Spectre, I'd say the Bond franchise needs a change, and someone like Stahelski could give it that.
I have no idea if the producers of the Bond franchise would even ever entertain the idea of hiring Stahelski, but I don't think it would hurt to at least take a pitch meeting with him. What do you think of the idea of the John Wick filmmaker taking on the Bond franchise?
