I will now watch as the thread explodes :D
Lucas leads to prequels prequels lead to jake Lloyd jake Lloyd leads to suffering.
And to get back on topic
Nolan with a good script will make A GOOD FILM. as long as he isn;t in the writing room to often the film will be good.
Agree. Nolan has a superb eye for spectacle and mood, plus his pacing is excellent. Despite what many say I think he's good at directing action. Just don't let him start writing...
I don't want to see any more arty type Directors.
A Bond film should be a film made for the masses to enjoy, and not for a type of film that would just please the few at a Cannes film type festival.
e.g. QOS director Forster, no experience, and no clue how to direct an action film.
Forster did a much better job, even though he was never claimed to be a Bond fan. And I strongly disagree about him having no clue how to direct an action film. He did a great job.
Aside from that, I agree that the director should be savvy with big budget and narrative.
Agreed.
Has yet to win an Oscar.. I think.
In his defence, I like that he´s such a great Hitchcock fan and knows how to bring that on screen too. I´d love that approach for Bond.
Oh that's right. He was long overdo in my opinion.
Agreed.
I'd almost rather have a director who isn't a Bond fan. The Bond fan directors tend to view it as their one shot to make their mark on the franchise and stuff the film full of the references that they've always wanted to see in the films, which is what we've seen over the last couple of films, regardless of whether or not they've generally been of a higher quality than we're used to seeing on a consistent basis from the franchise.
I'd like to see a film that is completely void of references to previous films, aside from continuing on with unresolved plot points from SPECTRE. Whoever can deliver that, and can keep the film consistent with the raised level of quality that we've generally seen from the Craig films, is OK in my book.
I would agree, however, about it perhaps being a confidence issue with regards to SPECTRE. I get the feeling from that one that nobody involved thought that they were going to knock it out of the park when they saw the awful script they were going to be dealing with, so the decision to jam the film full of references to the past probably came from a need in their minds to make the film as Bond-like as possible to perhaps distract from how awful the script was and how ridiculous a lot of what they were trying to do was.
I have been fine with Mendes, by the way, but I doubt he will return for the next one.
I cannot think offhand of any other directors I would really want for Bond. Maybe Joe Johnston. Hmmm. JJ Abrams; I don't think that is a great fit. Just my instincts.
He'd definitely do a killer job.
Perhaps Eon made him an offer that led him to say he won´t do any more Maxes ;-)?
He definitely would cure my car chase trauma after SP :) .
Didn't Miller start out his professional life as a physician?
@mcdonbb, you are correct, he used to be a medical doctor.
Ah, thanks
Agreed ...well only exciting if indeed he doesn't .
Alfonso Cuaron
