God, no. The man can't do anything other than gothic films. His early work was pure genius, but he keeps using the same formula and it's got to a point when its just tired.
Haha I know, would be awful. Just be a mixture of gothic architecture and wacky characters (Depp as the villain in the vein of Zorin).
Even if it was good, could you put up with Danny Elfman's score?
Also, Burton can't direct action whatsoever.
@bondsum...didn't realise that...seeing as there was no listing of this on imdb for Matthew Vaughn as an upcoming project...ANYWAY..i hope its Mendes!

Like Kershner or Marquand on the original Star Wars trilogy.
Someone like Tarantino, for example, would be a disaster I think.
Adrian Paul is a good craftsman I feel but I doubt anyone would agree he should direct in spite of directing the best Highlander episodes.
But C'est le vie
Actually the pub scene for me was one of the major flaws with IB. The whole thing dragged on for almost half an hour, and nothing important happened. Same with JACKIE BROWNE, the scene which we see from three or four perpsectives... Tarantino indulges himself into funny dialogues and sometimes forgets to tell a story...

So someone get this man a couch quickly, and some slippers!

- He lives in his own fantasy world that was ok for a while, but he's become a joke. I'm all for some changes, including directors bringing their own style to Bond, but I don't want cardboard characters in a 3D film or a gothic MI6 mansion.
- Johnny Depp, Burton just has to find a place for him. We get the Jack Sparrow trick now, and I've always considered Brad Pitt a much finer actor. (ok attack me)
Who I'd love to see (again)?
- Sam Mendes
- Christopher Nolan
- David Fincher
- Martin Campbell
_ Michael Mann
I like Fincher as director for bond 24 plus isn't he american that alone would bring tons of publicity!
Campbell said he wouldn't return because he's done Bond every way he could do, normal with GE, origin story/reboot with CR.
Mann is a brilliant choice.
I hope this is true....Mendes would be the best choice I think to direct Craigs next 2 films. It will help to have some consistency in the direction of the films and to have on board a director who knows drama and has proved with SF he is very capable indeed of directing great action set pieces along with his 2nd Unit. Hopefully we will hear sooner than later that Mendes has signed on for the next one with an option for Bond 25.
No, really. He designs Bond's suits, and he has directed "A Single Man", which from memory was quite the little awards winner.
He'd need a good second unit director though. At least the film would look classy.
On the subject of more likely potential directors;
Peter Weir
Gary Ross
Steven Soderberg
Chris Nolan
Danny Boyle
Brad Bird
