Months after gaining full artistic control of all future James Bond films, Amazon MGM Studios has tapped British screenwriter Steven Knight, creator of the BAFTA-winning television series “Peaky Blinders,” to script the next 007 movie.

The entertainment giant announced the news on Thursday after revealing in June that “Dune” director Denis Villeneuve would direct the film, produced by Amy Pascal and David Heyman.
