    If you guys could only bring back a living previous Bond director, who would you choose?

    I know he's an old hand, but I'm going to roll the dice on Roger Spottiswoode and see if he can bring back some humour and a light-hearted atmosphere with the traditional structure back in place.

    With a solid script, Martin Campbell; he "gets' Bond and now more than ever someone like that is needed.

    Marc Forster or Roger Spottiswoode

    I trusted both enough to that can bring Seafire and Role of Honour elements to life. But there need good producer and writer who see that. Mabey Bruce Feirstein and Paul Haggis should write. Paul Haggis van also can be considered as producer/directer. Next Three Days was good.

    I don't want any director to come back, but if I have to choose, I would say Sam Mendes.

    He is young and modern enough.

    I don't think he would. He is tied up with four beatles films to make, and having made two films with Babs and Mickey, he probably has loyalties to them.

    I agree M_B Cuaron is too easily overlooked.

    As much as I love the first two harry Potter films as childhood classics, Cuaron did reinvent it with his own style, and arguably ensured the longevity of the series. If you had to make a list of the 50 best franchise films of all time, it would be hard to keep "AZKABAN" off that list. Personally I find the idea of a Heyman produced, Cuaron directed Bond film quite exciting, we could certainly do a lot worse.

    Heyman was also a producer on Cuaron's "Gravity", which IMO was an excellent film (and checked the current Bond sweet-spot of critical acclaim and high box office).

    Yeah I agree, it's a strong partnership. Gonna be really exciting to see what comes out of this.
