Good point ...
Funny, I feel the same way about Craig.
And sometimes I do too ...but always depends on whom the replacement might be for me.
I've heard you're a big Turner advocate but on my side I haven't had any candidates jump out at me.
Less choice this side of the recent presidential election.
I think Fiennes has the option of one more film.
But I agree. The only thing I truly want to keep is M's office...
I wouldn't write off his approach to any Bond film immediately, it would just be.. different. Even the producers tried to steal Christoph Waltz from him.
But going forward, I was floored by Arrival and Sicario and thus count the days for Denis Villeneuve to be attached to a Bond film.
I'm also in the camp that think Nolan would have a great approach, as a Bond film is something he's probably been loosely planning in the back of his mind for decades, like Inception. I even made the case that Inception, moderately tweaked albeit, would have been a great Bond plot with the villains stealing dreams.
I had forgotten he was a fan. Very good to hear. Doubt EoN would hire him ...I'm sure they are going to talk Mendes into returning because they have no clue it didn't work.
I'm angry and I've lost confidence in EoN after SP.
@mcdonbb Not to worry, mate. Mendes will never direct another Bond film. He's made it clear that he's done for good.
True, but look at Forster and Mendes. Neither of them managed to surpass Campbell's Casino Royale. And GoldenEye was also better than Spottiswoode, Apted and Tamahori's efforts.
What that says to me is EoN need to do a better job at actually being producers when it comes to hiring directors and to have better QC with the scripts. For starters they need to scrap the, only British and Commonwealth directors are eligible to direct Bond movies shtick; it's archaic and asinine. Campbell isn't even a great director. He's mediocre at best but he excels at understanding the world of Bond and clearly has a great vision to realise that world. The good news is he's not the only director in the world with such capabilities and he's nowhere near the best. EoN now just have to put in the work and be wise with their selection going forward.
Agree with this.Ridley Scott is nearly 80 and he makes huge scale films every year.I dont see why Campbell couldnt do it again.But my guess is that hes had enough of Bond and maybe he doesnt want to be known as the '' Bond reboot guy they turn to every decade ''.
That's a compliment.
Agree! Campbell may want to do a victory lap with Craig, and vice versa. I'll bet Campbell has some things to say about an aging spy. This really is the perfect time for a more faithful adaptation of YOLT. Call it The Garden of Death (to avoid a third "S" film).
=D> Exactly my thoughts.
Mendes would be wonderful too if we want to find out that Bond has a sister who is Blofeld's lover, who is resurrecting Spectre 2.0 and sits at the head of the table with her and Blofeld's love child on her lap instead of the puss. Gold standard.
