    Well, Fukunaga’s more experienced than the average director so I don’t that’s fair on him. And you can have older directors who lose a bit of their creative spark or drive later on, or even just make films which don’t match up to their previous work for whatever reason. But ultimately no, an older director isn’t a deal breaker, and I don’t think that’s a reason to discount Campbell. But it’s not always the case that the most experienced director gives you the best film (even if experience is important).

    To quote Bond, ‘Youth is no guarantee of innovation’ and ‘Age is no guarantee of efficiency’. But vice versa is true too.

    Ofcourse that's correct. But there does seem to be a much more prevalent trend of writing off directors for being too old compared to too young, and I don't think that's right either.

    Well, I don’t know about that one way or the other. I’m sure some deserving director out there hasn’t gotten a job because they’re seen to be too young. Similarly I have no doubt some people view certain directors more favourably because they’re older/more established.
