Aaron Taylor-Johnson and director David Mackenzie have started filming their new movie, Fuze, in and around London. More here:


As speculation has built over whether or not Aaron Taylor-Johnson will be the next James Bond 007, the man himself has been preparing for his next film role. Off the back of his supporting turn in this summer’s The Fall Guy, he’s now taking on the lead role in a heist thriller by the name of Fuze.

We’ve talked about the film before, our interest piqued by the fact that the brilliant David Mackenzie is directing the feature. I’ll get told off by Ryan Lambie of this very parish if I don’t immediately direct you to 2016’s superb Hell Or High Water, but I don’t think he’ll mind if I salute both Starred Up and Young Adam as well.

This time, Mackenzie will be directing from a script by Ben Hopkins. The plot will zero in on an unexploded bomb found on a building site in the middle of contemporary London. That bomb then sits at the heart of a crime, the details of which are under wraps for the time being.

Filming got underway on the movie this very week, and we’d imagine that London may just be one of the locations for the film. Theo James is set to co-star alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and we’d imagine that we’re looking at a release in 2025.

It’s the first film David Mackenzie has directed since 2018’s Outlaw King, although he’s worked on the TV shows Homemade and Under The Banner Of Heaven in the interim.

As for Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s future, this should keep him busy until at least the autumn. The James Bond rumour mill seems to have started to intensify over the last few months, so perhaps we’ll have some clarity on the future of 007 by the time Fuze arrives on cinema screens.

More, as always, as we hear it.
