I said in another thread that Mendes directing CR would have been a pretty interesting film.
Where does he sign?
PS Don't kill Swann. She is not Tracy. And Ernst must live to threaten the world again.
Kill Bunt if you want though.
Yes, it is hard to follow some of the car chase and it looks like M is shot, but it is a stunning looking movie, but unsatisfying in other ways.
I don't want Shatterhand as the title for a variety of reasons
1. Dr Gutham Von Shatterhand is an interesting enough name that it could be used on it's own.
2. I am tired with S Names so no Shatterhand, no Salvo, No Solo, No Seafire, just no more S titles for a while heck I don't even want Valley of Shadows because of how sick with titles I am lol
Exactly, the boat scenes from FRWL are filmed on the west of Scotland at Loch Gillopshead. You could never tell.
We have already had his ex wife crud all over DAD with her awful theme song and demand to be in the flm, what's next Rocco as odd job?
Cuaron would be the dream ticket. Children of Men is a very good film and shows he can blend action and character. And the two big single shot sequences with guns going off and stunts all over the place make a mockery of Sam's much vaunted 'bloke walks through a hotel and along the edge of a roof while some extras dance in the background' shot.
And it seems like he may be a bit of a fan if we think about his voice over work on QOS. Unless maybe he's just Forster's mate and did it for a laugh.
Nonetheless here's a guy who has shown he can deliver spectacular action and mix it well with drama. Mendes does ok with the drama (if the script is up to it) but the action in both his films has been pretty lacklustre.
Cuaron definitely top of my list although I would settle for Hooper. Mendes maybe third. Think the Vaughn ship has sailed and given how disappointing Kingsman was that's maybe a good thing. Would be happy enough with Joe Wright though.
I'm still can't make up my mind about Nolan.
I really agree with these choices. But wasn't Vaughn already rejected by Eon for CR? It seems like they wouldn't likely go back to him.
Nolan, I fear, would be a Mendes retread. Nolan is good at big dramatic moments (if too expository for my tastes) but he can't consistently direct action either. His homage to OHMSS in Inception is more atmospheric than exciting.
Agreed. No thank you.
Peter Jackson maybe if he's a Fleming fan.
Paul Greengrass could strip it back (again).
What was Danny Boyle's status?
Ditto David Yates?
I kind of want George Miller to do it, honestly. JB needs an adrenaline enema after the last two. I want the talent of the artistic director, BUT not at the expense of action again. It has to have both.
I would vote no on Nolan, Mendes, Ritchie, Spielberg.
I worry a Jackson would want to bring in a load of CGI.
Greengrass can get fucked. I like the Bourne films but you can't slate Bond like he did and get the gig.
Danny Boyle would be pretty good I reckon. In fact I think I have joint top of my list now along with Cuaron. Actually slightly ahead as he's English.
EDIT - ok, now I get it. ;)
That would be best-case scenario for me.
To finish what he started with Casino Royale. This would be beyond lovely. Oh to dream...
Couldn't agree more. The Bond films need to get back to the OPERATIONAL side of things, as opposed to the relational.
And the military/naval connection has been lost since the start of the Craig era.. the 'M' in MI6 does stand for military, after all.
massively overrated IMO.
