First, Amazon MGM secured creative control of the James Bond IP. Then, it brought Amy Pascal and David Heyman in to produce a new feature about the iconic spy. Now, the studio has found a director to lead the project.

Denis Villeneuve is going from “Dune” to Bond. Amazon MGM Studios announced Wednesday that Villeneuve will direct the next James Bond movie. The untitled film will be the first since the studio took creative reins of the storied film franchise after decades of control by the Broccoli family.

The future of 007 seemed bleak when Amazon acquired creative control of the franchise. Thanks to the Dune director, things have changed.
