At this point now one has mentioned them. None of the producers have ever mentioned them as potential candidates. They have with others though.

[Red Grant 15]

Personally I don't trust Eon as far as I could trough Goldfinger.

[Skin 17]

I think that Wilson is only good in a controled environment. And I just don't agree with Barbara's vision for bond

[Red Grant 15]

I don't like the director they've chosen for Casino Royale either. Cambell is an idiot.

[Skin 17]

He fools around with the bond elements I prefer Apted or Spottiswood

[Red Grant 15]

It's going to be a disaster like Die Another Day.

[Skin 17]

That's Tamahori's fault he's to much into over the top action scenes

[Red Grant 15]

Yeah but Cambell is just as bad. He makes it seem like it's not even a Bond movie.

[Red Grant 15]

Goldeneye probably could have been a better movie if it wasn't for him.

[Skin 17]

He and Tamahori must never have anything to do with Bond. Brocoli and Wilson need to fix these problems.

[Red Grant 15]

Absolutly. They need to bring Apted back, he did a great job.

[Skin 17]

They should stop trying to make Blockbusters and get to work on pure Bond movies

[Red Grant 15]

You know that's something they really haven't done in awhile.You are absolutly right.

[Red Grant 15]

The best thing they could do is listen to the fans.

[Skin 17]

Unfortunately that something they don't seem to care for

[Red Grant 15]

Yeah, but I can dream.

[bryonalston]

I actually liked Martin Campbell's directing in GE, but I would definitely like to see Spottiswoode come back. Apted brought a bit too much emotion to TWINE, but he's a good director nonetheless, just not the right one for what CR could and should be.

[Pussycat]

Does anyone know why they are not looking at Hugh Jackman or Ewan Mcgregor.

Maybe they are? It's all rumor, isn't it? However, I believe Jackman is very busy and an X-Men. As for Ewan McGregor, I'm sorry and I don't mean to upset anybody, but I fail to see anything the least bit truly Bondian in him. I know he's a good actor, but he is just NOT Bond. And I just saw him in The Island and it didn't change my mind.

[bryonalston]

Ewan McGregor falls in the same category as Mel Gibson and Russell Crowe: Their faces are too pudgy. I could have seen Gibson as Bond 20 years ago, but after his face started filling out...um, no. I also agree that McGregor has NO BOND QUALITIES. NONE AT ALL.

I wouldn't mind Jackman, but I think that he would be a less irritating rehash of Brosnan-Bond.

I actually would like to see Apted's take on Casino Royale. I think that CR is an emotional tale and that Apted would do a good job of adapting it. I especially think that he would do a great job at adapting the end of the novel for the screen, as there is a great deal of emotional content in the final third or so of the novel. Hopefully Martin Campbell will put the final third of the novel into the film in some way, shape, or form, because it is good stuff and should be there to make the film a solid adaptation of the Casino Royale novel.

The trailer for Zorro 2 has me more then a bit concerned about MC as a director but I did feel that Goldeneye was the best of the Brosnan films. I would love to see Paul Greengrass or Matheiw Vaughn or someone fresh have a shot at directing. It would have been great to have a fresh director and a fresh Bond.

[Red Grant 15]

I agree with tdalton. Apted would be the perfect director for Casino Royale.
The World is not Enough was a fairly emotional story,Goldeneye was just a bunch of explosions.

[ComplimentsOfSharky]

Spottiswoode didn't do a terrible job with TND but I don't want him back for another. Much of DAD already seemed like a jacked up TND to me so we don't need another.

I agree that Zorro 2 looks and that's worrying but out of Campbell, Spottiswoode, Apted or Tamahori - Campbell is by far the one I'd like to have back.

And is it just me or are Red Grant 15 and Skin 17 the same person?

[Bon-san]

I was getting a bovine vibe from that "conversation".

Bingo!

[Red Grant 15]

Skin 17 and I are not the same person, we know each other outside of the forum though. And we both agree on this subject.

I agree I would like to see Matthew Vaughn do one.
or maybe Guy Ritchie?

[Skin 17]

I think that a Casino Royale directed by Cambell might not be the perfect way to introduce a new bond.

[Leon]

Er...isn't this thread about the next Bond actor and not the director?

[k13oharts]

Good catch there, Leon
In 40+ pages and after getting some surreal bovine vibe this is bound to happen. From blame/curse the actor to blame/curse the director to blame/curse the producers to blame/curse the movie.
