I think it could be a risk worth taking with a director EON feels comfortable with.
On one side you have Colin Trevorrow, on the other you have Josh Trank. It can go both ways.
of course it could badly. buy when was the last time someone under 50 directed a Bond film? Forster?
I watched American Animals and it was good. Also unsettling. Which is the director’s Bart Layton’s hallmark, documentaries (fused with regular thriller style films) and unsettling material. Kind of an interesting, but more odd choice.
SJ Clarkson... I watched an episode of Collateral and it was alright. She has a ton of tv credits. She must present well to get on lists for Bond and Star Trek. At least I hope that’s the case. Like Layton, I can’t say I see greatness or someone whose going to deliver a “high.”
Demange... white boy rick is getting mediocre reviews. Sophomore slump or flash in the pan. I agree with others that it appears to be his gig going off the short list. ‘71 is great though ( better than American Animals IMO)
But the way news has come, I would actually expect a director to get announced who has never been mentioned.
Wonder who that could possibly be. Which directors do we know of who are available?
What is the problem with Clarkson, especially? What of her work did you not like?

Terence Young on Dr. No being a prominent example. He wasn't even second choice.
And you're starting to sound like someone who very much hates women in the industry. So much for equality.
She has directed a feature before. And some of her TV work has been quite stellar. Her BBC series Collateral was extremely slick and well done. I find the notion that she's unsuitable because she wears a certain style of spectacles a bit ridiculous, to be honest. Never judge a book by its cover - let the work speak for itself.
Though, I do grant that I would love to see Bigelow take a crack at it. Eager to see her return to genre filmmaking as opposed to her docu-drama style that she has adopted for her last few efforts. Point Break is a better film than most action directors could ever hope to make.
This is a f*cking joke of a comment, and you know it @PanchitoPistoles. If your comments boils down to how someone looks, then they have no validity whatsoever.
But saying that someone shouldn’t be directing a film based on the shape of their glasses is a bit much.
Lewis Gilbert wore glasses like that. They should never have let him on the set.
Smarmy schoolteacher.
With respect, it's an utterly pointless 'point' to make when the person making it hasn't seen any of the person in question's work - where signs of being "progressive" are far more likely to be noticed. That takes away what very little credibility there is to the claim.
Those damn women, wearing glasses that I don't like and being awful people. I hate them! I hate them all!
Come on, give it a rest. You're just embarrassing yourself.
He wasn't a woman so it's okay.
That's not something I'd want to see in a Bond film so hopefully not. If she hasn't, then I don't see the problem, despite her glasses.
Also, is she a serious contender for this role? She's being considered, sure, but I can't imagine she's a front runner based on her resume. If they want a female director, then there are other choices with more experience. Whether they'd want the gig is another question. Bigelow has declined in the past, as has been noted here already so I can't see her going for it now.
