Yann Demange (’71), David MacKenzie (Hell or High Water) and Denis Villeneuve (Arrival) are in consideration for directing the next James Bond film.

Deadline reports that the three directors have had meetings with Variety placing Demange as the frontrunner.

Each director has films either in production now or on the way. Demange is working on White Boy Rick starring Matthew McConaughey set for release on Jan. 26, MacKenzie may be working on Outlaw King with Chris Pine and Villeneuve has Blade Runner 2049 coming out Oct. 6 with a Dune adaption lined up after that.

The 25th James Bond film has been given a Nov. 8, 2019 release date with writing duo Neal Purvis and Robert Wade (Spectre) once again writing. Daniel Craig is said to be returning to the title role, although he has yet to be confirmed. Deadline said they’ve “known for months” and even The New York Times has sources confirming Craig’s return.

The last James Bond film, Spectre, was released in 2015. The film grossed over $880.6 million worldwide, which makes it the 47th highest grossing film ever made.

Need For Speed Heat Australian Release Date

The Need For Speed Heat Australian release date is November 8 2019. The game will be published by Electronic Arts and comes developed by Ghost Games. The game will be available on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

EA says “The game deepens and expands everything Need for Speed fans love – expressive customisation, authentic urban car culture, and an immersive narrative that pulls you into the game.”

What is Need For Speed Heat about?

Need for Speed Heat sends fans to Palm City, a brand-new open world where street racers have gathered to make their names known. By day, players compete in the Speedhunters Showdown, a sanctioned competition where they earn Bank to customise and upgrade their garage of high-performance cars. At night, players risk it all to build their Rep in underground races where a rogue police task force roams the streets, ready to take racers down and swipe all their earnings. The roads, the risks, and the rides never end in this street racer where a player can roll deep with their crew, build their garage full of hot cars, and make the city their nonstop playground.

Riley Cooper, Creative Director at Ghost Games said “Our fans have been clear that they want more cars, more customisation, and more challenges, and we’re tuning up on every aspect. From your character’s style to your car’s performance and your driving style, we’re fuelling everyone’s creativity with this new game.”
