Smile, Mr. Bond

Image It seems that Studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer will not try to move the audience with Daniel Craig's goodbye to 007. First, the company canceled the contract with director Danny Boyle, who intended to end Bond 25 with the death of a British super spy. Now it became known that MGM management decided to dilute the script of the film with witty jokes and funny situations.

The latest news from the film company made it clear that Bond 25 had serious problems with the script. To date, four people have already worked on the current version of the text. When Boyle and screenwriter John Hodge left the project, MGM bosses used the services of time-tested Bond authors such as Neil Purvis and Robert Wade. A little later, Paul Haggis (Casino Royale) joined in on the script. Finally, in February, the studio hired Scott Z. Burns (The Bourne Ultimatum) to finalize the text.

Apparently, the final version of the script seemed too dry and gloomy to the studio bosses. According to Hollywood insiders, the owners of the franchise intend to hand the text into the hands of the creator of the acclaimed TV series Killing Eve, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, so that she can add her trademark humor to it.
