Partially why I'm a bit cautious about the idea of Chan-Wook helming a Bond film. He's a wonderful director but most of his films have an anti-establishment theme, and I don't think I like the idea of an anti-establishment Bond.
I mean every single Craig film was very anti-establishment.
No, not really. I'd say the only one that fits that bill is QoS, and even then Bond is still driven by his duty to the crown.
Dalton was arguably anti-establishment too in how many times he avoided following his orders albeit for the benefit of the "establishment".
Pragmatism can't be moral or immoral. It exists outside of those boundaries because in the context of espionage it is always to serve the idea of "the greater good".
If CR is "immorally pragmatic", then all Bond films are. And none of them are anti-establishment. If they were anti-establishment, then Bond would be trying to take down his superiors like Bourne.
It might be an interesting change, but it would be a huge change nonetheless.
Exactly. That's the worry, as good as he is.
I think anti-establishment would be if Bond worked to undermine the British Government/Britain generally, which is so antithesis to Bond.
When it comes to Nolan, I’m not in either camp; bunt he shouldn’t be judged by one clunker
Sure, even the best directors in film history, had one or two not so great films.
As others have discussed previously, I think by now Denis Villeneuve would assure some level of quality and a moderate level of buzz. Maybe we'd get a bigger role for a French-Canadian Bond woman this time around.
Martin Campbell would surely generate headlines and explainers a third time around, the Bond launcher extraordinaire.
Maybe Kathryn Bigelow?
My wildcard suggestion: Sofia Coppola
My wildcard suggestion: Alfonso Cuaron
A name that comes up that often is hardly a wildcard, but I wouldn't be mad.
I didn't realize people had been suggesting him.
I don't see it happening but I'd love to get Campbell back one last time. The man knows how to kickstart a Bond era, that's for damn sure.
I agree...unflinchingly.
