Danny Boyle could write next Bond Girl role to fit #MeToo era

“Trust” producer and director Danny Boyle has confirmed he’s working on the next James Bond movie — and confirms he is looking at the “modern world” when it comes to the portrayal of women.

After being asked if Bond Girls could be depicted in a different light in the #MeToo and Time’s Up era, Boyle told Page Six on Thursday, “You write in real time.”

At an event for his upcoming FX series “Trust,” he said, “You acknowledge the legacy of the world [of Bond] and you write in the world — but you also write in the modern world as well.”

Of any specifics of his female Bond characters, he said, “I can’t tell you yet, will report back later.”

While female Bond characters have shed their innuendo-laden names and become more feisty over the years, we’ve yet to encounter one who is truly Bond’s equal.

Dame Judi Dench’s M — Bond’s boss — was killed off in “Skyfall.”

Although we’re not yet near a female Bond, the currently called “Bond 25” project is said to be Daniel Craig’s final 007 role and the search is on for the next male star to lead the franchise.

Boyle had said of his Bond movie, “We are working on a script right now,” with his frequent collaborator John Hodge.

But he added of directing the closely guarded franchise, “It all depends . . . I am working on a Richard Curtis script at the moment. We hope to start shooting that in six or seven weeks. Then, Bond would be right at the end of the year.”

Meanwhile “Trust,” created by Oscar-winning “Slumdog Millionaire” screenwriter Simon Beaufoy, follows “the trials and triumphs of one of America’s wealthiest and unhappiest families — the Gettys.”

The film was shot in many of the same locations in London and Italy as Ridley Scott’s recent Getty film “All the Money in the World” — and even used some of the same crew, we hear. “Trust” stars Donald Sutherland as J. Paul Getty, as well as Brendan Fraser and Hilary Swank.
