I'd be more worried by the execrable Indy IV in which he promised old school stunts and delivered the DAD of the Indy series.
However based on Munich and Bridge of Spies he could still deliver a taught thriller and if EON could deliver up a decent script I'm sure Steven's input would have everyone raising their game.
Although as @Birdleson comments I would worry about any humour/scmaltz he might bring in.
Shall we just all agree on Cuaron and shake on it?
EDIT: I'm not saying he couldn't do a more plot focused piece, just pointing out that his MO is closer to Mendes.
A story has to have a good narrative to be engaging, not emotional, or dark or gritty to define a "valuable quality".
Perhaps but I think Cuaron will deliver on a much better and satisfying execution of it.
I firmly believe that is the road they'll go down. At the end of Spectre Blofeld is going to be 100% out for revenge. Bond probably wants to settle down, have a normal life at this moment (much like Craig!), but Blofeld will not let him have a nice happy life. Blofeld will have Madeline killed forcing Bond back into action. Bond will be even more ruthless than we've seen before. We've seen Bond in revenge mode before, but not like this. This is the movie I want to see.
Very similar to TMWTGG book. However, a stretch too far 'commercially' for Eon I think.
Well, a lack of emotion was just what was the critisism of Spectre from many. People were complaining about too much drama and now its wasn't enough.
This is from the guy who completely slated Spectre...and still does ;)

That idea is retarded for two reasons.
1. It's been done before in the same trilogy.
2. It's incredibly cliche
I honestly won't watch B25 if this is the main plot point, seriously...
Unless we're talking about the "Bored" trait Craig represented (which I couldn't spot anywhere).
where else can they really go they backed themselves in a corner my guess is the only way around that would be this
PTS
Swann is killed in a fire fight and Bond kills all of the people involved in a somewhat brutal PTS
Main titles
Main story here would essentially be You only live twice the novel updated
I think it could work as a film and plus 30 minutes of Bond gambling over drinking and being an ass would put Rachael's mind at ease lol.
Here's how,
- Bond & Madeleine relationship is basically ignored. Presumed to have broken up.
- Madeleine tries ringing/texting Bond, to which he ignores.
OR
- Blofeld does actually kill Madeleine to try to get Bond "mad", but Bond cares less.
If they had ended SP on the bridge, then they would have had a problem imho, because it definitely looked like he had left the service. Since they had him go back to HQ to pick up the Aston (which we know has $mm of Q branch accessories installed) it can be surmised that he hasn't truly left.
So he shags Madeline for a few months and dumps her. What's the big deal? This is Bond after all and he proved he's back on his game with his treatment of Lucia.
They can just launch into an exciting, compelling pretitles and cast a winner of a Bond girl for B25 and I can assure you that no one will remember Madeline.
I hope they do make this "retarded" movie (nice choice of words btw).
he left the 00 branch for her... they literally back themselves into a Corner THE ONLY way they can do a bond movie WITHOUT killing Swann and Without the revenge angle are 2 fold
1. A takensque style thrill where Swann is kidnaped and Bond basically goes rogue to save her which he does but realizes even quitting the 00 branch he has enemies who will use her to get to him and because of that he has to leave her and rejoin the 00 branch (personally my favourite of the clichéd storylines they now have to go with)
2. She was a villain all along.
Personally I prefer the taken styled story but if the minimalize her and have them break up off screen I will be pissed and think the writer/s director/producers clealy have lost their way.
A taken styled thriller for Bond with Pierre Morrel Directing would be perfect
Yes. Bond was ruminating on dead bees, among other things.
Saying somebody or some thing is "retarded" precludes eloquence. Contrariwise, it bespeaks a juvenile lack of imagination.
Judging someone by their words, rather than their ideas, also precludes eloquence. At least I stated my disagreement and explained why. I suppose Daniel Craig isn't eloquent as well because he swears in his interviews.
Most of the people in the thread want the SwanSong scenario. But, I, being in the minority, don't. If I argue, I don't argue or validate anyone's opinion because neither of us are in position to do so. I only argue with differentiating the idea.

Disagree with someone that's fine. Using words like retarded is pretty horrible, no matter how you try to wiggle out of it.
