Was one of the movies on my have to see list before all this covid lark started! Is it worth seeing?
Cheers, will do! i did like Macbeth, and Fassbender was excellent!
His profile seems to me quite close to that of Christopher McQuarrie and it is, in my opinion, this kind of individual that he should perhaps for the next era of the Bond series. His work has been critically successful and, at the same time, he's not too much well known, which would allow him to see him work in the long term on the franchise, and which could offer a stable clear creative line for the future.
Here's the trailer for his first feature film, The Report, a political thriller:
The Queen is not synonymous with capitalism. I don't get your point...
Rich, privat capitalists are indeed villains in most Bond films and Fleming novels. I don't see why it's a problem.
The Queen is synonymous with the establishment, though. I didn't just mention capitalism. Most Joon-Ho films have a social class study element to them.
I'd be happy with that one, for sure. Greg Fraiser as DP, Zimmer likely back to score again..
As for C Nolan, some would argue he "jumped the shark" earlier, but it seems that with Tenet he r e a l l y jumped it. (If you know not the expression, I'll just say the expression has now lasted longer than ran the show from whence it came. The Google machine can provide the definition more entertainingly than I, but, briefly: That moment when something which had been going along well just went too far and ruined its entertainment value. Why the wording ? It comes from the then-popular TV show Happy Days, which strayed so far from its premise that it lost its charm. There was a "gone to California" episode, wherein Fonzi -- yes, wearing the leather jacket -- performed a water-skiing jump over -- you've guessed it by now -- a shark...which was just too far from where the show formerly held its charm and delivered laughs, and was just...too...dumb.) I've read recently that Mr. Nolan showed interest in directing a Marvel film. Of course, such stories sometimes are composed entirely of speculation and nonsense. Is he capable of EVER directing a great film again ? Certainly ! Even if he's presently licking his wounds.
Both I think could make an excellent Bond film if given the opportunity.
Park Chan Wook is a great suggestion, I’d love to see him do a Bond.
James Gray is another who I think would do a good job, Ad Astra shows he can handle action rather well and he’s got style for days.
I've always championed David Mackenzie for the Directors chair! I think he would be a good fit for a Bond movie!
Cinematographer: Linus Sandgren
Score: David Arnold
Script: Scott Z. Burns and Phoebe Waller Bridge
He must be a fan
Not only do I very much agree about Burns writing the script, but I also wonder if he could direct it. After all, he already directed a political thriller (The Report), so why not Bond 26? I already suggested this name, but I think he could do a good job.
He Also direct this comercial with guy of Mad Men.

Also sugest him as directer for future Mission Impossible movie, because of this..

For an actual English director I might recommend Harry Bradbeer. He's mostly been a TV director, but he did both Killing Eve and Fleabag with Phoebe Waller-Bridge. He also director the netflix movie Enola Holmes.

I remember at the premiere of Casino Royale, Campbell said that Goldfinger was his favourite Bond flick. Glad that he’s now come to his senses and gone for FRWL. ;)
I was one of them. And I stand by it. He'll be over 80 years old by the time B26 films!
Campbell is a decent director, nothing special. I am not as wowed by his work on GE and CR as others. In the case of CR, he had a great script and a great actor. Still, his amateurish camerawork almost sinks the film's first half.
Mendes, and now CJF, have set a bar for directing this series that MC simply can't reach. If he could, he'd have much better credits since CR. Instead, they're less than impressive.
