Danny Boyle exits from Bond due to creative differences with producers

Hollywood film director Danny Boyle, who was to helm the next James Bond film – Bond 25 – has walked out of the project, citing “creative differences” with the producers. The news of Boyle’s exit from the project was announced in the official James Bond Twitter account.

“Michael G Wilson, Barbara Broccoli and Daniel Craig today announced that due to creative differences Danny Boyle has decided to no longer direct Bond 25,” the official James Bond Twitter account tweeted.

The producers had announced in May that Boyle would direct Bond 25 and in March, Boyle had said that he was working on film’s script along with his frequent collaborator John Hodge.
