Directors out there.
Ditto can be said for a Tarantino Bond.
:))
It kind of already happened in TMWTGG.
Could be! Bond certainly inspired Indiana Jones anyway...
I don't know how they got on during filming of Munich but, presuming they did, this would be a cinematic event Dan surely would not want to miss out on.
I have my reservations over whether Spielberg is right for Bond but on balance I'm happy to take the risk, although EON would need to keep a tight reign on any CGI prairie dogs.
I do think Spielberg would bring his A game to it though as it would clearly be a one off and Dan's last. I reckon a Dan/Spielberg combo (with everyone knowing it would be Dan's last) that pulled out all the stops in a YOLT/MR style romp could easily hit the billion mark again.
The big questions are would EON be prepared to pay for Spielberg and whether he would even do it?
It's something I'd like to see but also wouldn't be devastated if it didn't happen - although if he could deliver a mash up of Raiders, Munich and Bridge of Spies with a dash of Minority Report it could be an absolutely epic send off for Dan.
The next villain would be Tom Hanks or a T.Rex...
Spielberg was a genius. Was. Now he is just another director aiming at big things in the Autumn of his career but fails repeatedly.
That being said a chance for him to get a go at Bond isn't something I wouldn't mind seeing.
Let me get this straight they couldn't afford him right? Is he afraid that just for the chance to add to the series one that he's a big fan that if he took a huge discount or even he worked for free that would have a bad effect on his career.
Seriously this man is a multi millionaire it's not like he's Mike Leigh who I'm sure is comfortable but not swimming in money unlike Spielberg who is worth millions but because of his status he couldn't work to scale or free allowing him to add to the legacy of James Bond?
It strikes me as hugely greedy to expect EON to pay what he'd cost, if Spielberg is that keen on Bond surely he could do it just for sheer thrill and then do a deal that he takes a percentage of the gross if he's that bothered of his millions taking a dent because he didn't get his usual fee.
Maybe I just don't understand the business but hey haven't you got enough money Stevie?
Is he afraid that others would expect him to do it again? If he came out and said yeah I'm doing this as a one off and order for it to happen I'm not getting paid. This would work as great publicity for the film and people would think what a great guy SS is for doing this for the fans and the film world. Hell the film would easily do a billion on the back of such a combination and he could then take a cut of the profits if he needed to be so desperately paid for his time.
Craig I'm sure is a great friend of Spielberg and would sign off with the Beard on a Bond film with the pace of Raiders and the intrigue of Munich, sound too good to ever happen.
