However, then came the news that he left the project due to ‘creative differences.‘Enter director, Cary Fukunaga, who has just been announced as the new director of Bond 25. He will be the first American-born director to helm a Bond film. A California-born filmmaker, Fukunaga, just 41-years-of-age, started off his directorial career on the big screen with the success of “Sin Nombre," which was a scathing indictment of the MS-13 gangs ravaging Mexico, and the United States. However, HBO’s “True Detective” made him a major player in Hollywood, so much so that Netflix immediately hired him, post ‘Detective,’ to direct “Beasts of No Nation," a critically acclaimed Netflix Original about child soldiers in Ghana which proved that Fukunaga was, in fact, the real deal. He is now teaming up with Netflix again for his next project, the mini-series “Maniac,” starring Jonah Hill and Emma Stone. The producers confirmed Fukunaga’s hire with this statement, “We are delighted to be working with Cary. His versatility and innovation make him an excellent choice for our next James Bond adventure.” “James Bond 25,” opens on February 14th, 2020. Contribute Hire me
