I believe he was considered for Casino Royale but negotiations fell through. Him and EON didn't see eye to eye it seems. He's had his chance now, so I can't see it happening. I'd like it but he's got X-Men to get on with and that should make him a big enough name if he isn't already.
That would be something to behold
"The Feel Bad Bond Movie Of The Century"
It was a joke. The tag line for TGWTDTT was "The Feel Bad Movie Of The Year" or something like that.
He's an excellent director, don't get me wrong. But I have a feeling we'd miss out on the humor everyone is so dire to have. I'd be okay with it, however. A good FRWL vibe, straight-foward storyline would suit him.
Anyway, Fincher is American so that rules him out straight away. Right now, I'd rather he did The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest.
Ah, yes.
And has every director actually been British?
With Craig having worked with Fincher on the trilogy, I wouldn't be surprised, with all his influence, if he pulled him onto a Bond flick. It seems like Eon is giving him that power.
Do you deny that the Connery films had humor?
and also, we could put the - 'all the Bond actors in a fight' scenario in for good measure
No. Campbell and Tamahori are from New Zealand, Spottiswoode from Canada and Forster is German-Swiss. They're all from the Commonwealth though.
Craig may think along the same lines though, that an American isn't what Bond needs. If Skyfall works they'll be a push to get Mendes back if he doesn't say yes straight away I feel.
I think that as far as direction, an American wouldn't completely Americanize the franchise, or whatever odd fear Eon has. Now a writer or actor I could see some serious risk, but the director displays the sense of style for the flick, and Fincher definitely has some style.
Just imagine those action scenes. *Shivers*
Yet Mankiewicz struck gold. It's funny how things work.
I agree an American may be fine but why change what works, that may be EON's thinking with the issue.
Debatable.
- Matthew Vaughn
- Martin McDonagh
- Bruce Robinson
- Kevin Macdonald
And I'll not be liked for this one, but I think he'd do a good job:
- Guy Ritchie
Oh, and absolutely no hesitation for Peter Morgan or Tomas Alfredson to take the helm anytime.
Michel Hazanavicius, director of The Artist.
Have a Bond film set mainly in France, with a French villain of some sort. Have him direct, and pump it full of a 60's film vibe. It'd be quite the adventure.
Plus, The Artist is up to almost 100 award nominations total, so that doesn't hurt!
Mmmmm.. maybe. But I'd like to see them keep it unique. Bond's long history is what differentiates him from the other spy franchises out there, don't want him to adapt TOO much.
Yep, i agree, i just think if you took him back in time in terms of the date/year ....etc. You could risk the Austin Powers link....etc. Bond is special and should be well looked after, but keep him modern.
No, I was just saying I think they should keep a similar feel to the films, even if they're not necessarily realistic to today's world. Not necessarily go back in time.
sorry, misunderstood what you wrote. I am not sure if that is something that DC's Bond will allow. He is obviously taking a more grittier take on the role. However? Perhaps Skyfall will introduce a few more lighter elements back into the series? Only time will tell?
only if bond teams up with an 11 year old superhero who kills drug dealers and swears like hell (kickass reference FTW)
Hasn't anyone mentioned Walter Hill, I was a bit of a fan of his work such as Southern Comfort, 48 hours and Aliens, he's still active and there would be worse avenues to go down, I know Bond directors should ideally be British, but that hasn't always been the case and well it's one name I thought I'd throw in the ring
