Daniel wanted to make this Bond film the most surprising and entertaining yet," said a source. "Daniel is older and his Bond is maturing and looking at life through the prism of fatherhood. But there's a lot more to it than that," the source added, according to the website."Fleabag" creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge has collaborated on the script. She rewrote the script after filmmaker Danny Boyle walked out and Cary Joji Fukunaga took over the directorial duties.
