Podcasting about spy films is one of SpyMovieNavigator’s main fun ways for delivering our spy movie content. Creating podcasts on many spy movie topics, and digging deep into the subject matter is what we’re doing everyday! Join our Community Group on Facebook!

Throughout our exploration of spy movies, we will integrate our podcasts that cover the curated movie or mention that movie. For example, the Dr. No podcast is an expansion of the written curated section on the website for the film. But we have James Bond podcasts, Mission: Impossible podcasts and Jason Bourne podcasts, as well as classic spy movie podcasts – interrelating them all, speaking of multiple spy movies in each and how they relate!

We will have podcasts on all of the curated films (and their connections to other spy movies and real-life events and things), as well as podcasts on many spy movie topics that will cover multiple films at the same time. By doing this, we will cover things like

how a scene or theme in one particular film will be seen in other spy movies: “where did they come up with that idea?”

or chase scenes in spy movies;

James Bond and Sherlock Holmes comparisons

train scenes;

how real-life events find their way into spy movies;

how one has influenced others;

why Mission: Impossible might challenge Bond for dominance;

podcasts of our trips to spy movie locations,

interviews with authors and movie personnel, and dozens and dozens of more topics.

Spy Movie, Secret Agent and Espionage Podcast Interrelationships

Interrelating, within each podcast, how other spy movies may have influenced a scene, or where an idea that we see here may have come from in another spy movie, or how this movie will influence future spy movies is one of our main area of focus. Weaving a unique story, and offering some new insights into specific scenes or movies as we examine each is the goal.

Listen online or download the podcasts for true mobility! And you don’t have to read! We have talked to many people into podcasting and spy movies who believe that podcasts covering spy movies are something that will continue to grow in popularity.

With about a hundred ideas already, some completed and others in the works, we are constantly developing relationships with key people in the industry to bring you the best!

Your Participation!

But, we can’t stress this enough – we will look for your suggestions, guidance and, most importantly, your contributions and insights on an ongoing basis, for example! After all, we are a community! Therefore, we will look for you to offer suggestions, recommendations, your film location photos, and videos and your questions. Your questions may make it into one of our podcasts!

So, we’re building an interactive community of spy movie fans and that’s a group participation thing. We will post topics on our Facebook page, Twitter, Instagram and want your participation and insights on a regular basis. That’s the way we want to grow this community together!

So help us do that! And send your friends to our website as well: SpyMovieNavigator.com!

SPY MOVIES TURNED INTO TV SERIES

Movies get made into series and series get made into movies. This time, the industry is retreading two movies from the 1990s and 2000s into series.

TRUE LIES ON CBS

The spy movie True Lies has been given the first pilot order of 2021-2022 for CBS. This is the second attempt to get a pilot made of a tv show based on the movie. Fox made a pilot commitment in 2017. The movie was a fun spy movie with Jamie Lee Curtis’ character, Helen, finding out that her husband Harry, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger was an international spy.

You can read more about it on Variety.com in this article.

Mr. & MRS. SMITH

The Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie movie about assassins hired to kill each was released in 2005. It has been announced that Mr. & Mrs. Smith will be brought out as a 2022 series by New Regency and Amazon Prime Video. This series will have two of the hottest names in the industry starring and executive producing the series. Donald Glover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge are both signed up in these roles.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith was a fun movie, and with Donald and Phoebe involved, is likely to be a fun series too.

You can read more about this in this article on Variety.com.

DISNEY IS STILL PLANNING TO RELEASE BLACK WIDOW THEATRICALLY

In our last Spy Movie News, we reported that the Marvel CEO, Herb Schribner hinted that Black Widow could possibly debut on Disney +. Well, Not so fast. According to an article on Variety.com, Disney CEO Bob Chapek in discussing Black Widow, says, “We are still intending it to be a theatrical release”. However, he did not say if they are still planning the scheduled May 7, 2021 release date. If it does release to theaters on May 7, it would be the first tentpole movie to release this year. “We’re going to be watching very carefully the reopening of theaters and consumer sentiment on going back to theaters,” he added.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 7

Cinemablend Says This Is What They Know About Mission: Impossible 7

According to this article on CinemaBlend.com, we know this about Mission: Impossible 7:

The current release date is November 19, 2021. As we all know too well, due to the pandemic, any movie release dates could change.

Mission: Impossible 8 will follow a year later with a targeted release date of November 4, 2022.

Christopher McQuarrie is directing both M: I 7 & 8, although in 2018 he was quoted as saying he’d “rather have leprosy” than direct M: I 7. So that was either a negotiating strategy or maybe it was like Daniel Craig’s quote about doing another James Bond movie back in 2015 when he said “I’d rather slash my wrists than play James Bond again” as he was just tired when asked right after production wrapped.

Of course, we know the cast – no surprise with most of the filming finished

It will likely get a PG-13 rating like the earlier Mission: Impossible movies

FILMING AT JAKKU FROM STAR WARS

An article on CinemaBlend.com tells us that Mission: Impossible 7 has filmed in the same United Arab Emirates desert that Star Wars: The Force Awakens shot its scenes of Jakku. It has a picture of Simon Pegg, who plays Benji in the MI series, sandboarding on the desert. Simon appeared as Unkar Plutt in The Force Awakens so he’s now filmed two movies in the same desert.

But . . . Well, this article on DailySabah.com reports that Mission: Impossible 7 was just filming in the United Arab Emirates as we said – until February 12th 2021 when the UK issued new travel restrictions for people coming into the UK from 33 “red listed” countries – meaning that starting February 15th – anyway coming into the UK must quarantine for 10 days and pay 1750 pounds for hotel accommodations to quarantine them. The crew and cast basically demanded to be returned home before this went into effect. And they were returned home over the last weekend.

They expect, of course, because of this, more delays – but they will continue filming in England. Mission: Impossible 7 is still scheduled for a November 2021 release.

JAMES BOND

No Time To Die

Well, technology waits for no one. The Nokia product placements in No Time To Die are now . . . old technology!

In this article on GSMarena.com, they claim that the Nokia spots, now featuring the Nokia 8.3 5G phone must be reshot – as their 2019 phone is not looking so shiny and new in 2021.

What about other sponsors like Adidas, Bollinger, Omega watches and so on? We will see – these are unprecedented times and unheard of delays in releasing movies. So, this different approach may be required. Makes sense.

Jinx Script Online?

After Die Another Day was released, there was supposedly a spin-off in development based on Halle Berry’s character, Jinx. That movie was never released, but according to this article on CinemaBlend.com, a script attributed to Neal Purvis and Robert Wade has surfaced.

The movie was reportedly going to tell the pre-Die Another Day backstory on Jinx. It supposedly was to have Michael Madsen as Damian Falco as her handler. That would have been interesting to see. Maybe it would have been better than our opinion of Die Another Day.

The article mentions that there are now rumors of spinoffs of the characters Moneypenny and Nomi. This could get interesting.

Ralph Fiennes Would Like to Continue As M After No Time To Die

Mike Reyes has this article in CinemaBlend.com in which Ralph Fiennes says “If anyone from Eon Films is listening, I’m very keen to continue training the new Bond. I love playing M, and I love being part of the franchise.” Given how well he plays the role, and wit the history of the James Bond movies keeping the main supporting actors while the James Bond actor changes, we hope Eon listens to him and keeps him.

Tom Holland Would Love To Play James Bond

24-year old Tom Holland talks about how he would love to play James Bond in an article on movieweb.com. The article, while talking about Holland’s age mentions that Henry Cavill, when 22, first auditioned for the role of Bond for Casino Royale, but lost to Daniel Craig.

The article suggests Holland, being so young, may be better suited for The Kingsmen series which has used younger actors in its leading role.

We think, who knows, by the time the next Bond movie after No Time To Die finally releases, maybe Holland will be in his 30s. He’s played Peter Parker in the Spiderman movies and was the voice of Walter in the spy movie for kids, Spies in Disguise. So, he may be too famous for EON to consider him for the role as some of their choices for Bond have been less famous actors.

Will Future James Bond movies End Up On a Streaming Service?

We mentioned in our December 29, 2020, Spy Movie News that MGM might be looking to sell. So, with the pandemic delay costing MGM around $1 million a month in interest, it is rumored that MGM is looking for a buyer. A couple of articles have updated information on this.

This article on CinemaBlend.com discusses this rumor and points to an article on Forbes.com which says that MGM wants $9-10 billion and Forbes doesn’t think they will get it. MGM has tried selling itself twice before. However, the current rumors are that Amazon Studios might be interested.

Both articles point out that Eon Productions can throw a wrench into any sale. If a service like Amazon bought the franchise, Eon Productions would want to be able to have an exclusive all of the Eon Bond movie, past and future. Currently, multiple platforms have streaming rights to the various previous Bond movies.

We here at Spy Movie Navigator will continue to monitor the situation and let you know if anything changes.

James Bond First Edition Books For Sale

This article on MovieWeb.com points out that a collection of the first edition of James Bond books is selling for more than $600,000. Ten of the books have personal inscriptions from Ian Fleming.

Even though we at Spy Movie Navigator are not in the market for these first editions, we did visit the Reading Room in the Lilly Library at Indiana University – Bloomington Indiana to read their collection of the original Fleming manuscripts, including Fleming’s hand-written notes (like Moneypenny’s name change) – exciting! The Reading Room at the library is closed until the end of the year for renovations and you need a reservation to view the manuscripts. However, if you have an opportunity in 2022, it is worth a visit for any James Bond fan. Yes, you won’t own the books, but you won’t have to shell out $600,000 to read them either (there is no charge to read them in the reading room).

We have a 2-part podcast on our trip that you can find on this link on our website.

STUDIO BEHIND SPIES IN DISGUISE SHUTTERED BY DISNEY

Disney has decided to shut down the animation studio Blue Sky Studios. Blue Sky was responsible for the Ice Age series, The Peanuts Movie, as well as one of our favorite spy movies for kids, Spies in Disguise, which was released after Disney bought the studio as part of its deal with 21st Century Fox in 2019.

This news saddens us, as we had hoped that Spies in Disguise could have been turned into a series of movies. The characters of Walter and Lance could have evolved to a Q and Bond-type of relationship in future movies. The gimmick of Lance turning into a pigeon worked for Spies in Disguise, but wouldn’t have to be repeated in future movies. However, Walter’s gimmicks could be there to help Lance out. Oh well, another good idea shuttered as the original movie only grossed $171 million worldwide against an estimated $100 million budget. It’s frustrating to see that a movie that only made $71 million over it budget is considered unworthy of a follow-up.

This article on HollywoodReporter.com gives more details.

FACE/OFF (2?)

Paramount Pictures is bringing out a new Face/Off and has signed Adam Wingard to direct and co-write the movie. In this February 11th article on Movieweb.com, it is implied this will be a remake.

The original 1997 movie starred John Travolta as an FBI agent and Nicholas Cage as the villain. It was an interesting, albeit improbable plot, but an entertaining movie with Travolta and especially Cage’s performance. Not many people can play a lunatic better than Cage in our opinion. Seeing Travolta playing the lunatic Cage’s character was fun.

However, in this February 12th article on Movieweb.com, Wingard states that this won’t be a reboot or a remake, but rather a sequel to the movie. Given how the 1997 Face/Off ended, it will be interesting to see how Wingard makes this a sequel.

The Gray Man

In our December 29th Spy Movie News, we talked about how COVID-19 was delaying production of the movie The Gray Man. Now, in this article on Movieweb.com, more information about the movie is coming to light. Production has been pushed to March. This movie supposedly has a $200 million budget and stars Chris Evans as the CIA agent, Gray Man, who tracks Gentry, played by Ryan Gosling. Ana De Armas, of No Time To Die and Knives Out fame, has also joined the production. She starred in Knives Out with Chris Evans who was the bad guy.

The Gray Man is based on the novel by Mark Greaney and is being directed by Joe and Anthony Russo. Joe Russo says “This is being conceived as a series of films, and again, potentially branching out, we could follow other characters, but we’re not gonna answer every question in the movie.” The Russos call this a “’ modern interpretation of a spy thriller’ inspired by the Bond franchise”

WHO OWNS JACK RYAN?

This article on HollywoodReporter.com discusses a judge’s dilemma trying to untangle the mess of who owns the rights to the Jack Ryan character that was created by Tom Clancy. Instead of the judge deciding, this will either go to trial or be settled. The judge says that a reasonable jury could differ on what the evidence suggests. However, as the article puts it “A dispute with the publisher. A Divorce. A Death. A Copyright Termination” all contribute to the problem.

We’ll be watching this one as it is a legal nightmare based on the history of agreements and even the rights to the character are being challenged by Clancy’s ex-wife, Wanda King.

Five Eyes

In this Deadline.com piece, Hugh Grant, who we reported in the last Spy Movie News was, more than likely, joining the Five Eyes team, speaks here of his role in “The Undoing” and his respect for Guy Ritchie who is directing Five Eyes. He said, “ He changes the titles of his films every Tuesday but for the moment it’s called that,” Grant said, adding that his role will be “quite different” from the last Ritchie film he did, The Gentleman.”

Spy Movie News Article 1/26/21: No Time to Die, M:I, Black Widow, The King’s Man, and More

Entry Source: Dan Silvestri and Tom Pizzato - Spy Movie Navigator

Here’s our January 26 2021 edition of Spy Movie News – a new spy thriller starts production, more Bond rumors and No Time to Die release date, Mission: Impossible robots, The Kings Man, Black Widow, Five Eyes, Red Notice, Industry News, and more!……  Let’s go!

NO TIME TO DIE

No Time to Wait for April – No Time To Die Slips again

Well, amidst lots of worry and drama, it appears, at this time, No Time to Die is scheduled for release now in October 2021. Check out @007 on Twitter for the official announcement.

Our Opinion: We think Eon and the studios are right. The world is not ready for a theatrical release. Too much risk – health wise for viewers, financially for Eon and the studios.

James Bond Replacement – more rumors!

Well, the IrishPost.com suggests that Irish star of Peaky Blinders, Cillian Murphy could be the next James Bond!

The article of January 20, 2021 suggests that his odds of playing Bond has been slashed from 16 – 1 to 10-1! Of course, he is Irish, and if selected he would be the second Irishman to play Bond – Pierce Brosnan of course being the first.

The same article says that the other Peaky Blinders star, Tom Hardy, still holds a promising 2-1 odds on favorite to play Bond. See all the details on IrishPost.com/news!

Additional potential Bond’s are mentioned in a January 2021 GQ Magazine article – like Michael B. Jordan (an American), Sam Heughan, Michael Fassbender and others! Read about it here on GQ-MAgazine.co.uk.

Well, Eon Productions and the studios might have more time to decide as No Time to Die slips to October 2021, and most certainly no announcement of the next Bond will take place before its release.

DOUG LIMAN THINKS DANIEL CRAIG’S BOND COPIED THE BOURNE IDENTITY

In an article on CinemaBlend.com, Bourne Identity director, Doug Liman says “After the Bourne Identity came out, the next James Bond to come out was Casino Royale, which totally copied the tone of Bourne. I had a very surreal thing where I was sort of making Bourne because I really wanted to make Bond, and then Bond copied Bourne.”

Also for those who don’t remember, Liman will be directing the upcoming Tom Cruise movie in space.

You can read the whole article here on CinemaBlend.com.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE

OK, we all know that Tom Cruise got upset last month on the set when he felt some of the staff were not adhering to their stick Covid safety protocols – it is reported he saw a couple of people close together at a computer screen.

Well, his rant is well-known. So, is he trusting the crew now? Well, in this January 20th article on SpotBoye.com it is reported that Cruise how has robots watching the crew, and these robots can also scan the crew for Covid – 19. Wow.

Ah, but this SlashFilm.com article set the record straight and says basically there are automated Covid testing machine robots on site.

Our opinion: They are state-in-the-art on safety and cruise wants to keep it that way. We give him a lot of credit for driving the safety issue so consistently – it means lives and continuation of production saved. All good.

Mission Impossible 7 is scheduled for release November 19 2021 in the US.

THE KING’S MAN

The King’s Man release date, having slipped from September 2020 to February 2021, to March 2021 and now to August 20 2021 according to CinemaBlend.com.

Like so many other movies scheduled to 2020, then rescheduled many times., The King’s Man joins suit.

Let’s hope the second half of 2021 sees a rejuvenation of the theater release of so many movies we have been waiting for.

See this CinemaBlend.com article for the details.

Speaking of The King’s Man . . .

ScreenRant also reports that seven Kingsman movies are currently in the works with Marv Group and director Matthew Vaughn!

See this article on ScreenRant.com for the details!

BLACK WIDOW

In this short article at DeSecret.com, by Herb Schribner, he talks about the Marvel CEO hinting that Black Widow could possibly debut on Disney+

Of course the CEO says he basically doesn’t have a crystal ball – so we will wait for more news.

INDUSTRY NEWS

Streaming Through Hollywood

Speaking of streaming, a January 21st 2021 article in the Wall Street Journal suggests that streaming has hit Hollywood fast. Changes in the management ranks are in the works, as they look for execs with business development, technology and strategy backgrounds to basically deal with the new world of movie watching. They are keeping an eye on Apple, Amazon (Prime) and Netflix to see how much they are investing in their movies and shows and how many subscribers they, HBO, Disney+ and others are capturing – and how long exclusive releases in theaters might continue.

Nice read – check it out here at the WSJ.com.

Wow – the world is changing.

Has the COVID-19 pandemic brought out a new use for theaters?

With the dearth of movies that are able to be shown in theaters or them being shut by decree, one movie theater in North Carolina here in the US is being used as a vaccine distribution center, allowing the local administration from a few hundred vaccines a day to about 1,300 a day. The theater is bearing the costs of operating. While we applaud this, let’s hope that this will be a short-term use of theaters and that we can go to them to watch movies soon.

You can read more about this in this article on Variety.com.

FIVE EYES WILL BE GETTING A NEW NAME AND IT LOOKS LIKE HUGH GRANT TOO

In our September 15th edition, we mentioned that the rights to the spy action thriller, Five Eyes had been awarded to Leonine. Back then we announced that Jason Statham would be starring in this Guy Ritchie directed movie. Well, here’s an update: According to this article on DigitalSpy.com, it looks like Hugh Grant will be joining this movie. Hugh’s deal isn’t done yet, but work is being done to land him.
According to this article on prnewswire.com, this movie is officially untitled, meaning that it is not going to be called Five Eyes. Production of the movie has started in Qatar. Joining Jason Stratham, who will play MI6 agent Orson Fortune, will be teaming with has Aubrey Plaza, Cary Elwes, and Bugzy Malone. We’ll keep a watch on this one, especially with that cast.

WHAT’S UP WITH RED NOTICE?

CinemaBlend.com has an article which talks about what we know about the upcoming movie, Red Notice. Although a release date hasn’t been announced, it is expected this Netflix movie will release in 2021 as filming has been completed. Dwayne Johnson’s character is an FBI Profiler, hunting a pair of thieves. Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot are a conman and art thief. There is at least on big chase sequence.

Check out this article on CinemaBlend.com for the details.

NETFLIX HAS A HEART OF STONE

Variety.com reports that Netflix has obtained the rights to the Gal Gadot espionage thriller, Heart of Stone. Gal is really making her way in the espionage movie game. We mentioned her as being in Red Notice and now Heart of Stone.

This movie hasn’t started filming yet and we haven’t seen a scheduled release date. They are keeping the plot quiet too. So, we’ll just have to wait to find out.

You can read about this here on Variety.com.

IN MEMORIAM:

Michael Apted

Michael Apted has passed away January 7th at the age of 79. He was a British director who, in the Bond world, directed The World is Not Enough. He also directed the Up series, and Coal Miner’s Daughter. @007 on Twitter posted: “He was a director of enormous talent and range and unique in his ability to move effortlessly and successfully between all genres.
