    In my previous comment, I have said that I would've love having Terence Fisher to have directed a Bond film, I did some research and found this interesting article:

    http://scary-radio.com/2012/10/11/halloween-countdown-the-great-directors-terence-fisher/#comment-2081

    It looks like Fisher was offered to direct You only Live Twice. I wish he didn't turn that down, a Bond film directed by him would've been kinda cool.

    With Tom Hooper's release of Les Miserables, which opens on Christmas Day, getting a lot of press coverage I see that Mr Hooper has once again been asked about the possibility of directing a future Bond film. His response...

    “Oh I’d certainly be willing to talk about it. The 10-year-old in me would think there’s probably no higher honor than talking about that… I think [Bond producers] Barbara Broccoli and Michael [G. Wilson] are making some really interesting choices about who they use at the moment, so I think they’ve reinvigorated that franchise in a brilliant way.”

    I think David Fincher could take a good run at Blofeld's Garden of Death.

    Sign me up for that! I'm all in favor of giving Tom Hooper a crack at it!

    Tomas Alfredson

    With TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY, he made it clear that he can handle a witty spy film.

    Is Hooper on first name terms with them? Interesting. :)

    Hooper ! Yes, he's gifted too. Tim Burton, you must be joking ? Then, as I posted some before, let's imagine it for fun ! Seriously. Campbell said he'd never comeback third, I can understand it. Either, he should have directed "QoS" or the other possibles named films sequels after "C-R". More logical to me.

    How about Tobe Hooper, instead? That'd be interesting.

    Fincher Hooper or Mendes again all get my vote.

    Back in the 70's, there was another director I would've love to have done a Bond film, Freddie Francis:

    Gary Sinyor (English) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0802551/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Sinyor



    He work with a fames TLD Bond girl for this movie from 1993.

    Then Colette McWilliams Carrilho who work him at In Your Dreams as production designer can return as one of the art department people, she work on Twine and Harry Potter 3.

    As Visual Effects and editor there can consider Anthony Stadler who do Visual Effects of Sunshine, Captain America and X-men 3.

    Asif Kapadia. For Bond 25. A sugestion in style of my earlier sugestion of Shekhar Kapur. In specialy with somebody like John Logan can be very intresting. From his imdb page http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0438090 : BAFTA winning filmmaker, Asif Kapadia is known for his visually striking films exploring characters living in timeless, extreme and unforgiving landscapes. Work before with Michelle Yeoh and Sean Bean for Far North.

    Not really directors, but I'd love to see Moffat and Gatiss -- or at the very least Gatiss -- have a go at Bond. What they did with Sherlock, specifically A Scandal in Belgravia, The Last Enemy, and The Blind Banker ... airtight, character-driven writing, great production value.

    Tommy Wiseau.

    Only Joking.

    Nolan would be good, maybe Brian DePalma.

    I know Sam Mendes is returning for Bond 24 which I'm well happy with since Skyfall was a bloody brilliant Bond film, but I wouldn't mind seeing a return of Martin Campbell or Chris Nolan

    Those are all good names, but Tarantino is not suited for Bond as much as I love his films. Let him have Modesty Blaise instead. Or better still, do a sequel to the MAN WITH NO NAME trilogy from the 60s. Hugh Jackman in the lead.

    Have been saying Kenneth Branagh should direct one for a while and then I discover he's just directed the new Jack Ryan film and is appearing as the main villain in the same film.

    I advocated Branagh as a potential director but after seeing Jack Ryan, I'd rather he star in a Bond film than direct one.

    Is he good in it but the directing bad? Can't say I'm too fussed about seeing it. Thought Thor was entertaining though.

    Not that I'd like to see Brannagh direct a Bond movie, but what made you change your mind?

    He was fine as a villain, in fact he wasn't bad at all but the movie itself was mediocre at best. Nothing special about it at all and is by far one of the most forgettable movies I've ever seen. What's even more funny is, I just saw a tv spot for Ryan and the narrator says 'look out Bond...look out Bourne' Ryan's here or something extremely close to that effect. What a joke.

    This would be pushing it, but I'd really like to see David Fincher do a Bond film.

    I'd like to see the Coen brothers do a Bond film IF:
    -The locations were in the American Southwest/Mexico (duh)
    -The film had a plot concerning drug violence in Mexico

    I also think Alfonso Cuaron could do a killer Bond film.
