Yes please, I want to bring back more of those wider full body shots like this.
If Nolan had to film the Octopussy auction scene, the whole thing would be melancholic close-ups.

But as you can read above and if true the deal between Eon and Amazon is not done deal yet, strange because she already said she sold it to them more then a month a go on 20 Feb 2025.

Nonetheless, given they are far down the road with hiring producers and talking to directors, I think Amazon want to move very quickly on this. Alfonso Cuarón is a phenomenal choice for 007. His technical skill and visual storytelling are A+, and he’s exactly the kind of director who could elevate the Bond franchise the way Mendes did with Skyfall. The guy has an incredible grasp of big-budget filmmaking—just look at Children of Men and Gravity.
That’s why I was baffled when he did Disclaimer on Apple TV. I watched it, and honestly, it felt like a 90-minute potboiler stretched into 8 episodes. The story was thin, and his signature cinematic style felt wasted on the mundane London setting. It was like getting Lewis Hamilton to drive a Nissan Micra around the track—just not the right fit for someone of his caliber. The whole thing had the same drab, overextended feel as a forgettable Netflix drama.
But if he’s finally stepping back into the world of high-stakes, big-budget filmmaking, and he's using his cachet to take on Bond? Bring it on! He should be doing what Denis Villeneuve is doing with Dune, or what Mendes pulled off with 1917—not just bland prestige TV. If this happens, we could be in for something special.
Also, he might bring Emmanuel Lubezki to shoot! Even though I thought his last film, Amsterdam, looked washed out. His visuals are poetic:
What exactly would a “proper Bond film” even be at this point when accounting for the last 60 years? Because Bond films have never been homogenous. I don’t think any Bond actor sans Lazenby has had a run of films that were stylistically and totally consistent all across.
New takes are just inevitable due to the fact that new filmmakers get hired and give their own interpretation, and that’s before you factor in on what the actors do with the part. This has happened ever since Guy Hamilton replaced Terence Young. Even when Martin Campbell came back for Craig’s debut he took a different approach from what he did in GE, and would likely have yet another new approach if he were to do BOND 26.
This is so true. Well put.
Amy Pascal the new Umbridge ? or new voldemort ?
Mabey time to repeat earlier sugestion's that i stil consider:
Shekhar Kapur (The Four Feathers, Elizabeth, Elizabeth The Golden Age, What's Love Got to Do with It?)
John Madden (The Debt, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel 1&2). In the mean time he direct a movie about Fleming (and Moneypenny) Operation Mincemeat (2021)
Made when i mabey have liked to see it as Spectre prequel so you get S.0.S. SkyfallOperation RuthlessSpectre.
One of Operation Ruthless with subtitle sugestions.
Peter Weir (Master of Commander, The Way Back, The Truman Show)
Daniel Espinosa (Safe House, Child 44). For Sony he directed Life (2017).
Paul Thomas Anderson. I finally seen There Will Be Blood who was very good, but it was always be The Master why i sugest him, cinematographer, production designer, Art directers. I hope to see some TSWLM / Moonraker style. In the mean time he also did music video's for HAIM who i have like to see doing the title song and that was not only for there music. There be moments iam doing sugestion's because there be part of bigger idea like understand why there consider Radiohead (Anderson also direct some videoclips of them) and why there not be choosen. To soon like Shirley Bassey No Good About Goodbye.
Choosen song of them i use as symbol, not directed by him.
James Marsh (The Theory of Everything, Shadow Dancer). Worked with Felicity Jones (I like to to see as Q), Andrea Riseborough (As Bond girl for a very long time). Mabey wil be out of box choose like Roger Spottiswoode.
Mabey:
M.J. Bassett. Female directer. (Solomon Kane, Rogue)
Matthew Vaughn. One of the writers of The Debt and wrote/direct X-men First Class. Jane Goldman and Peter Straughan are other two writers of The Debt and i only whant Matthew Vaughn as directer if those two be part of writers.
One of the highlights of Spectre and NTTD are none English speaking parts. Mexican Spanish, Italian and French in Spectre and French & French song in NTTD.
Better as writer:
Hossein Amini (Writer of The Four Feathers, Drive, Shanghai, The Snow Man). Only direct The Two Faces Of January and that was a bit disappointed in story.
Weir hasn’t directed since The Way Back, and he’s since confirmed his retirement from filmmaking. While it would be great to see him come out of retirement for a Bond, it’s not likely to happen, I think.
Espinosa last directed Morbius, and frankly I find the rest of his filmography rather underwhelming too. Wouldn’t be a good look for the new producers if it turned out he was being eyed for a Bond film.
