Speaking with Zoe Ball on Greatest Hits Radio while promoting Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger, which he also wrote the screenplay for, Knight was asked if the first draft of Bond 26 was complete. He replied: “I’m nodding silently.” He confessed that penning 007 was “more than a bucket list” and said he was “doing my duty for King and country by taking this thing on.”
The new Bond will be the first set in the reign of King Charles, with the first 60 years totally under his mother Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. Some fans predict the film could be titled, “For King and Country” following in the footsteps of “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Knight added: “I’m absolutely loving doing it. It’s an honour to be asked. And believe it’s going to be so good. I really do believe it’s going to be amazing.”
