Gary Oldman Claims James Bond Has Been Cast As He Backs Jack Lowden
Gary Oldman has claimed that the next James Bond has been decided.
In an interview with Canada’s Global, Oldman backed his Slow Horses co-star Jack Lowden to play 007, saying he had his “fingers crossed” for the Scottish actor.
Oldman said: “It’s been rumored that he’s on the shortlist. We’re going to find out pretty soon, aren’t we? Because they have picked him. They have made their choice, but they have not announced it yet. So my fingers are crossed for Jack.”
It’s not clear from Oldman’s comments whether he means that Lowden has been cast as Bond, or whether he is talking more generally about Amazon MGM Studios alighting on Ian Fleming’s secret agent.
Amazon MGM Studios has been approached for comment.
Deadline reported over the summer that auditions were taking place for James Bond in August. Producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman, as well as director Denis Villeneuve, informed talent who had been shortlisted.
At the time, we reported that Harris Dickinson, Callum Turner, and Jacob Elordi fit the idea of Bond that Amazon MGM Studios had in mind.

You Can See Everything: First Reactions to Elizabeth Holmes Doc
“Shocking.” “Brilliant.” “Insane.” “What the f*** did I just watch?” Just some of the words used to describe You Can See Everything, Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim‘s new documentary about Theranos founder and convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes, by those who were lucky enough to attend the surprise screening of the film at the Telluride Film Festival on Sunday.
After its Telluride screening, official critics reviews are imminent, but in the immediate aftermath of the premiere, various festivalgoers took to social media to express shock, bewilderment and extreme enthusiasm for the film.
Taking place in April/May 2023, the A24 docudrama sees Fielder, Oppenheim and a film crew shadow Holmes 34 days before she’s sent to prison, following her January 2022 conviction of multiple counts of defrauding investors and wire fraud.
To coincide with the screening, A24 released a teaser trailer for the film on Sunday, as well as a logline, which reads: “Thirty-four days before she’s sent to prison, notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move. What begins as an intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon becomes a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss. From boundary-pushing directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim comes You Can See Everything.”
Fielder, who made his breakthrough with Comedy Central’s highly influential comedy series Nathan For You, has dabbled in the docudrama genre in recent years with HBO’s critically accalimed series The Rehearsal. He also created, wrote and starred in the black comedy series The Curse for Paramount+.
Oppenheim is primarily known as a documentarian, and his key works include Some Kind of Heaven (2020), Spermworld (2024) and the docuseries Ren Faire (2024). Oppenheim’s first narrative feature, the Robert Pattinson-led Primetime, debuted at the Venice Film Festival over the weekend and is already eliciting awards buzz.
A24 hasn’t yet fixed a released date for the film, but You Can See Everything is set to hit theaters sometime in October.

Dvizhon Studios Launches With Sex Education Series ‘The First Time’
EXCLUSIVE: Ukrainian showrunner Yuri Dvizhon has launched a London-based production house with a celebrity-led sex education series.
The First Time is a five-part series that has debuted on Eastern European streamer Megogo as Dvizhon Studios‘ first show, featuring the likes of Ukrainian war veteran and amputee Oleksandr Teren, who led the 13th season of The Bachelor in Ukraine.
At its centre is Niko, a puppet created with puppet studio Talk to the Hand (Mongrels, Yonderland) and voiced by Anna Lev, the official Ukrainian voice of Bart Simpson. The visual identity and graphic design is by Seoul-based designer Will Lim.
Filmed inside the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine, the show is co-hosted and social-media star TUMAZAR, who leads candid conversations, as Niko asks the direct or unexpected questions a conventional presenter might not. The library itself becomes a voice providing facts and expert context. Episodes expand through street interviews, and Niko’s comedic internal monologue.
The series was developed over more 36 months in London and Kyiv in collaboration with the Olena Pinchuk Foundation, which works to develop a culture of sexual education and informed conversations around sexuality in Ukraine, with support from British luxury brand Aspinal of London. Dvizhon is the showrunner.
The show will also get a regular linear run on Megogo Music, featuring extended podcast editions of celebrity conversations.
Dvizhob, the founder of Dvizhon Studios, is a London-based filmmaker and showrunner whose films have been presented at Series Mania, Berlinale Talents Sarajevo, Tallinn Black Nights, the Stockholm International Film Festival and Serial Killer. His recent credits include Marriage (In)Equality in Ukraine and Pride Is Not Available In Your Region.
He has worked in the industry for more than a decade across feature docs, TV series, music videos and social impact campaigns, and is now developing a slate of entertainment, scripted and unscripted titles. The First Time is the latest example of how Ukraine’s filmmaking community have continued to develop new titles despite ongoing Russian attacks in the country.
“I was directing much of this show from London while our team in Kyiv kept production moving, through blackouts and repeated Russian missile and drone attacks,” he told Deadline. “It was a strange contrast: we were making a show about how people connect, while Ukraine was living through a full-scale war. I’m proud that what started as a much smaller educational idea grew into a full-scale entertainment format with its own voice, visual world and characters.”
Maria Panchenko, Content Director at Megogo, added: “It is important for us to support initiatives that have a genuine social impact. The First Time offers a unique combination of entertainment and an important educational subject. We are pleased to give our audience the exclusive opportunity to be the first to watch a show that creates a safe space for open conversations about healthy relationships and self-acceptance.”
