I believe there are some on here who wanted Brad Bird to direct bond 23 he is currently set to direct Mission Impossible 4 so that should give an inclination as to whether or not he'd be good for 007

i want to see him do a sequel to the incredibles eventually.

[Zorin Industries]

Mathieu Almaric. Just saying....

Mathieu Almaric. Just saying....

Now that would be interesting. I understand he is a very fine director.

[dutch_pepper]

Lee Tamahori!
(Has he ever made a good film???, can't think of any. Horrible director, the biggest mistake of Wilson and Broccoli was to hire him)



Michael Apted? (experienced with drama, but also a good James Bond style director); he proved he can make a decent Bondfilm.

ONCE WERE WARRIORS is a superb film and the one that got him noticed by Barbara Broccoli... and most of the film-making fraternity at the time.

Haven't seen this film, I see the film has very positive reviews; i think i'll watch it sometime.


On-topic: I think at the moment Matthew Vaughn is the best choice.

[tim partridge]

Daniel Barber?

[Loomis]

Ugh, no way. HARRY BROWN is awful.

I'd be perfectly happy with the return of Tamahori. DIE ANOTHER DAY is terrific entertainment and I'm sure that Tamahori could give us another great Bond film, and it wouldn't necessarily be in the same style as DAD (although I wouldn't complain if it were).

How about Anton Corbijn, director of CONTROL and THE AMERICAN?

[Royal Dalton]

Daniel Barber?

Would he want final cut?

Yes i actually like the world is not enough and it's everything i want in a bond film (Bond trying to solve a murder, using his wits, and American bond girl a Fleming title) Just i don't like who was bond in the film so if he can give us a great suspenseful bond film with Craig I'm extremely happy.

He's off doing Xmen 5 sorry i mean X men first class

I never saw control but the trailers for The American look very good.



How about Sam Mendes or tony Scott both were rumored for 007 recently.

(Bond trying to solve a murder, using his wits, and American bond girl a Fleming title)

I'm pretty sure that solving the murder of Sir Robert King wasn't Bonds main objective, or in fact his objective at all.

Plus, The World is Not Enough isn't a Fleming title.

It's From Fleming's Pen and no his main objective was finding the inside person in Electra King's organization who switched Sir Robert King lapel pin.


However that was only one of like 5 plots in the movie so it's easy to see why many forgot about this.

then If the world is not enough is original then so is Shatterhand.


Perhaps we should discuss what make a title Fleming's versus Original.


as for Directors if Sam Mendes Walks what about Guy Ritchie I though sherlock Holmes was excellent.

[DamnCoffee]

Yes, Shatterhand is a good title. Plus, I wasn't criticising The World is Not Enough's originality...

[Quantumofsolace007]

Yes, Shatterhand is a good title. Plus, I wasn't criticising The World is Not Enough's originality...

The problem is some consider anything from Fleming's pen to be a Fleming title others do not.


In terms of titles Everyone here knows what 2 titles i'm really keen on (if you don't The Property of a Lady and The Hildebrand Rarity) If it's something besides those 2 well I'll deal with the title and whether i like it or not when we cross that bridge.


Mhrakin I wish we could become friends on this board I have no anger towards you I apologize for anything I did to cause anger towards me and I hope all of us can move forward looking forward to the next 007 film.

[dinovelvet]

Interestingly, Mathieu Amalric just won Best Director at Cannes for his film Tournee.

So he's officially an acclaimed, classy director. And he's in with EON. Wouldn't that be a first and an oddity for the series - former villain now directing Bond!

[tdalton]

I can't say that I'd be all that excited over a Guy Ritchie Bond film. Of any of the supposed "realistic" names that we generally see rumored over and over again with each successive film, Ritchie is the one that excites me the least. Sherlock Holmes was, IMO, terrible, and there's not a single film on his resume that I've found to be even mediocre.

Well it won't be at least one of those titles.

I agree with you there. "Sherlock Holmes" had so much potential, but seeing Holmes and Watson as action heroes just didn't do it for me.

Agreed about the potential being there. On paper, it was a great idea, but got lost somewhere along the way. I still think that, in another type of Sherlock Holmes film, Robert Downey Jr could be quite good. I just find it hard to believe that a film staarring Downey, Jude Law, and Rachel McAdams could be so poor.

[brunoman]

Hello first time poster. If Sam Mendes somehow does walk away I'll like to see Michael Mann have a crack at directing the movie. With his realistic approach to his films like Heat,Collateral,and even Miami Vice. Bond 23 could have the potential to be in my opinion a great Bond Movie.

[killkenny kid]

Welcome to the forum, brunoman. I would love to see Mann as well, I just can't see Eon going in that direction.

[byline]

Having enjoyed Michael Mann's work since "Miami Vice" (the TV series, though he also directed the more recent film of the same name), I agree that he would be an inspired choice. However, going by the films he's directed since 1999's "The Insider," I fear that anyone who didn't like the shaky-cam/flash-editing style of "Quantum of Solace" would not enjoy the visual style he would bring to a Bond film, either. Watching "Public Enemies," I actually felt the visual styles were quite similar.

[JimmyBond]

I've been behind a Mann directed Bond film for quite a while now. Though I'm realistic in knowing that he will never do one.

I still stick by my original choice (and apparently one of the front runners for QoS): Tony Scott. I think it's time the producers put aside their aspirations of having Bond be more than just an action film, and hire a director who's really good at action.

What I'm about to say might sound blasphemous to some here, but I wouldn't be adverse to having Craig's third outing be something along the lines of TND. You know, something that's just fun and doesn't strive to be anymore than what it is.

Not blasphemous at all. There are worse templates for a Bond film than TOMORROW NEVER DIES - which is easily Brosnan's best Bond outing.

I really enjoyed Quantum Of Solace so the shaky-cam style didn't bother me. But If by chance a miracle happened and Michael Mann ends up directing the movie maybe he'll shoot the movie the same way as he directed Heat or at least tone down the shaky-cam feel to the film.

[Single-O-Seven]

If this idea has been brought up before then I apologise.

I was thinking that the next (or some future) Bond film may benefit in taking the unique approach of having a series of shorter films in one. Kind of like Fleming' short story collections, they would be various, progressive chapters in Bond's life, though not necessarily related to each other.

I admit this would be a bold move on the producers' parts, but the creativity that could go into such a film may be great. A number of directors could be utilised, and some of the popular directors who don't want to be tied to the extensive schedule of a full-length Bond feature might give a short Bond film a crack. Each short could also have a different writer, etc, and each would explore Bond in unique creative styles.

The whole film could be made up of just five or six shorts of 20-30 minutes each, and would give fans and audiences in general various tastes of Bond's world from several different viewpoints.

Just a thought. Don't see it happening...

[The Shark]

A number of directors could be utilised

Sort of like CASINO ROYALE 67?
