Same yes on the discussion title.
Really enjoyed his movie "Riders of Justice" with Mads Mikkelsen.
Why not? It was a good one, and well directed.
Ooooh now that’s a great combo. I like that @doubleoego .
Appreciate it, thanks. I've wanted Cuaron to direct for several years now and with Stahelski as second unit director and stunt coordinator, we'd definitely get some creative and exciting and much needed innovative action.
I'd be the most excited for a new installment in ages if this is the combination we got.
He has a short voice cameo, one of the radio voices during the plan chase.
Same with Denis Villeneuve or Christopher Nolan - way too dark and grim.
And...slow. I apologize. The word, both in spelling and pronunciation, does not indicate the meaning. Slooooowwwwww....As for Nolan, a Bond film should not be a puzzle with its pieces all over the timescape. Fine for other films, but not a Bond thriller. After 25 (or 27, if you prefer) is it time for something new and different ? Ok, sure...but it should be exciting and thrilling, not puzzling, nor - as sometimes occurs in Nolan films - vague.
I don't wish to be grumpy, but, simply - there are many ways to make a great film. They just all apply to exciting secret agent thrillers.
Guillermo del Toro too. I finally caught his voice appearance on the last rewatch I had.
Would that mean they avoid Cuaron's 'fancy' camera work?
It's got to happen eventually I mean now is the perfect time what he did with batman was great he can do the same with bond.
That said, I think the film would probably be well made and commercially very successful, so I wouldn't be surprised to see the producers go in that direction.
Still, though, he and I are both pretty obsessed with the concept of time, and I love pretty much all of his films, so I wouldn't be at all upset if he were to do a Bond film.
Reading up the thread a bit, Cuaron would be a super interesting choice, or Denis Villeneuve (was he attached at some point?).
Leading to bolder experiments with the Craig films. Not least telling a story about Bond five years after his retirement.
I think Nolan would do an excellent Bond film, unique from his own Inception and Tenet. And it could also work well as a one-off experiment if the right project came together.
I'm of the same mindset. The only one that really stands out is Inception. One of the reasons I'm intrigued by Oppenheimer is the fact that it's not going to have a lot of action in it, if any.
I believe Villeneuve was approached prior to NTTD but the scheduling didn’t work. He had said he’d love to do Bond and he even did a 40 minute Q&A with Cary Fukunaga on the film, so I’d be surprised if he wasn’t under consideration again. I agree, Cuaron would make a lot of sense, he’s even got some big budget franchise experience with Harry Potter. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of these two are attached to Bond 26 eventually.
I mean, high box office and critical praise aside, the series is a pile of rubble now and the producers don't even seem eager to move things forward. If they do, I suspect they'll continue hiring prestige filmmakers who have no ideas about pacing, tone, and other ingredients that are vital to action filmmaking, but do know how to make pretty images, like Sam Mendes and his silhouettes and big, empty spaces.
At this point the last thing I want is another Oscar darling being brought onto Bond with his hairbrained ideas about subverting expectations and redefining the character. Just let Bond be Bond FFS. Martin Campbell understood the material he was dealing with and I think Nolan would, too, and I'm far from a Nolan fanboy. I think EON should give him the chance, at least so he can get the Bond bug out of his system and stop putting Bondian elements into his original movies.
How hard could it be ???? :)>-
It sounds like the most incredible opportunity. But the hard reality is your creative choices will be severely limited as it is a producer's franchise. Just look at the Boyle situation.
