Haven't seen 71 so can't comment on Demange but he sounds like he ticks all the usual boxes.
Have to agree though with those posters saying what the series needs is a real shake up. The cinema-going public at large are not going to get excited about DC returning and will see Spectre part 2, if this is what we get, as more of the same. Nolan and Hardy would create a massive buzz that would get everyone talking about Bond again.
Wow. Bit harsh even by your standards @Germanlady .
Is that even possible ?
First thing, Deadline are a very legitimate source but Justin Kroll at Variety is a leading entertainment journalist. He’s the guy who chases the big leads and has close links with studios (I recommend watching his episodes of “Meet The Move Press” on YouTube). He’s the guy who broke the news of Ben Affleck stepping down as the Batman director and first to report Matt Reeves’ involvement. So that’s a little flavour of this guy’s credentials. Basically, if he’s saying it’s Warner and Yann – then it’s Warner and Yann.

Regarding the shortlist….Wow, but an exciting bunch. So glad that the producers are leaving the Paul-McGuigans-of-the-world out of the picture. Craig elevated the series beyond these type of suggestions in my opinion.
1. On to the choices….I think Denis is an inspired choice and clearly the dream director to tackle this project. If they can make it happen – then great. He’s voiced his desire to do a Bond film in the past. Despite this, I don’t see it happening, mainly as he’s linked to a ton of stuff. But the thought of a Denis/Deakins/Craig film is very exciting.
2. MacKenzie is my least favourite. I thought “Hell or High Water” was generic and flat - I struggle to understand the love. However, “Starred Up” is a brilliant piece of filmmaking (Jack O’Connell is great in it). So I wouldn’t turn my nose up to MacKenzie.
3. But Yann is the most exciting choice there. I am half tempted to go through my posts from 2015 where I floating him in the first place – but I’ll resist the sensation to be overly smug. Yann is exactly the filmmaker that Bond needs after the stately approach adopted by Mendes.

He’s a homegrown British filmmaker with class, but more importantly he’s edgy. I live in East London and his TV series “Top Boy” is a bit of a cultural hallmark around these parts. I’ll confess to not having seen “71” yet (another Jack O’Connell film – are Eon earmarking him for Bond?), Yann is clearly craving a name for himself. He’s edgy and up-and-coming. I like this suggestion a lot. He’s cool, young, elegant and British. He makes perfect sense.
Also look how cool he looks – you know he’ll get his hands around every other of the production and the style of the film will be impeccable. Yann will make Bond look damn cool:
I’m very very glad to hear he’s the frontrunner
Can you stop being a Troll, because you are very Rude to a lot of people on this site.
If not, you will be banned from this forum with immediate effect.
Now can you apologise for your disturbing behaviour to everyone and promise you will contain your Temper Tantrums.
David MacKenzie is Scotish directer.
But whant i whant is get a way with the 24, TDK elements and no return of Sam Mendes and Thomas Newman. Be more proud/focus on the QOS left overs and good things that John Logan and Sam Mendes left behind. Denbergh was wasted, even more then Solange. I was positive suprised about somethings of Spectre, but it can be one view thing. The brother thing should be gone and link i think there mabey going to make too. The only thing that can save it is to bring back Dominic Green.
Directer who is closer to Marc Fosfer or Martin Campbell. I wil earlier ask Bryan Singer as directer with writer of Batman vs Superman then having Sam Mendes return.
He is still French. ;) He never applied for the British citizenship. He worked in the UK film industry for his entire career so he is a British cinema talent, but he is still a French director.
Are you for real? You are already on the troll list here, so take it easy. I might be direct to you, because you are a negative troll for some time here and believe me, people are used to me here as a looong time member , but new people being negative just because they are in hating mood, don't god own well.
So therefore you wouldn t want him back?
@001, leave the moderating to the actual mods, please. If you can't handle @Germanlady, then ignore her. If you do feel man enough to go against her, then please find something more impressive than the temper tantrums comment. ;-)
Yes, everything and everywhere I read, he is referred to as French.
Looks are very much a subjective thing, but on that front yes, I agree that he looks better than DC. Looks were never Brosnan's problem imho. He is a very good looking man but there is no way he can be Bond at this point. His career isn't what it was for one and he's a bit old for it secondly.
You found CR violent? I thought QoS was a bit more violent to be honest.
Wasn't he found dead in the desert?
...with two bullets in the base of his skull and motor oil in his stomach.
It's a small world after all.
I think this is a clear example of an actor who's already living like James Bond :-P. Love the pictures! Great swagger and style he has. Fashion-wise he just knows what to wear. True fashion icon for males! And he looks YOUNG!!
I agree @bondjames, I was just pointing out that Craig 'in real life' and Craig Bond seem night and day sometimes. From those pics, anyone who aren't very familiar with Bond would think Craig's take on Bond would be similar to Moore in TSWLM. When you watch those trailers for Logan Lucky, I think Craig could have pulled off some OP/TSWLM style film with relative ease.
I've always said that they got the right balance of humour/style for his Bond in CR/SF. That's Craig at his best. I'm thinking the early casino scenes in the first film (even when Vesper walks in and when he goes up to her at the bar), the first Q meet at the museum or the psych evaluation. That's his take on classic Bond. Trying to shoehorn him into the traditional 'one liner' approach (including the office briefing) just reminded me that others before him have done it far better. They've got to put him in unique places to avoid reminding people of his predecessors imho, because he is a different animal to them. He is a reboot Bond in every way.
DarthDimi, I was being sarcastic. :)
This forum isn't Hamlet. :)
Like Pierce Brosnan did ...
Are you talking about Jason Bourne?
