Oscar-winning filmmaker Danny Boyle has spoken of regret over leaving behind the task of directing No Time to Die, the 25th James Bond movie.
Interviewed by Business Insider, Boyle, who is perhaps most famous for making Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting, and 28 Days Later, revealed that standing down from the Bond venture back in 2018 was a major letdown in his career.
"That ship has sailed," Boyle replied when asked if he would ever again consider directing a Bond film in the future. He continued to elaborate that his resignation from No Time to Die had been the result of creative differences with the producers of the movie.
Even with the split, Boyle asserted that he still has a strong affection for the version of the script he had been preparing, co-written with old friend John Hodge. "The script was very good. John Hodge is a great writer," Boyle said.
After Boyle left the project, the directorial role was assumed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, and No Time to Die featured Daniel Craig in his last stint as Agent 007. The film finally saw the light of day in 2021 to critical praise and marked a significant milestone as the 25th installment of the legendary spy franchise.
