James Bond Final Screen Tests Are Happening This Week

Final screen tests for the next James Bond are happening this week, beginning as early as today. Callum Turner and Jack Lowden are both believed to be among the candidates. Director Denis Villeneuve (Dune, Sicario) is attached to helm the new Amazon MGM 007 film. No official timeline has been announced, though a decision is expected before year’s end. Lowden gained momentum recently after Slow Horses co-star Gary Oldman suggested he made the shortlist. His wife, Saoirse Ronan, downplayed the speculation. Turner was an early frontrunner, with fans speculating his wife Dua Lipa could record a Bond theme. Turner offered only a smirk, saying, “I’m not going to comment on it.”
