It’s been close to five years since a new James Bond film landed on the big screen: No Time to Die, Daniel Craig’s swan song as the spy, hit theaters in the fall of 2021. Now under the stewardship of online retailer Amazon (save your Jeff Bezos as Bond villain quips, they’ve all been made), the franchise is preparing a return, VF’s Chris Murphy reports. But who is casting director Nina Gold considering for the title role? That question is the foundation of an oddsmakers’ cottage industry, Murphy discovered—and the top bets range from far-fetched to boringly plausible.
It’s a good thing we in the Vanity Fair office eschewed wagers regarding the Cannes Film Festival, as those of us who were covering the closing awards ceremony yesterday were surprised by a number of the wins. Less surprising, perhaps, was the dominant narrative of the festival, the ascendance of AI. While striding the Croisette over the past week-plus, Rebecca Ford spoke with a multitude of Hollywood power players and creatives about the tech. As with predictions of the winner of the Palme d’Or, guessing who in Hollywood is eager to embrace AI and who continues to oppose it remains a risky proposition.
