Vaughn only wishes he could direct a Bond film. Mendes will more than likely choose not to return: he doesn't direct movies that often, he will probably want to work on something else after Bond 23.
Boyle has already said he's not interested, Fincher is American, so they are out. Vaughn and Nolan already said that they would love to direct a Bond film, so the question is: is EON willing to hire either of them? I hope we'll never see a Vaughn directed Bond film (he is simply not good enough), as for Nolan: EON will probably never hire him, but who knows...

Bond 24:
Cameron Crowe (Vanilla Sky). American. With consider Jonathan Sanger & Ronan O'Connor as second united directers ( (Vanilla Sky).), directer of photography by John Toll (Vanilla Sky, The Last Samurai) or Lance Acord (Lost In translation).

1. Quentin Tarantino, he's stated that he'd like to be the director of Bond film. Personally, I think he'll be a good director for Bond film. If U see, all movies he direct are all successful
2. Christopher Nolan, a good director to lead a Bond film. He's quite successful in directing movie
3. Steven Spielberg, He's intention to direct a Bond film. He wanted to direct Moonraker (If I'm not mistaken). If he directed a Bond Film, I believe it's more than just a success, maybe it can win the Oscar.
4. Alfred Hitchchock, If he were alive, He'd bring Bond film to the best peak, :)

Sorry but I don't want Nolan touching Bond as good as he is.
I'm also fond of the work of Guy Ritchie and J.J. Abrahms. The latter's work with Chris Pine in Star Trek has me thinking he'd have a good handle on the Bond character.
I'm in a minority that has no desire to see either Nolan or Tarantino anywhere near a Bond movie. Nolan arguably already has a Bond film under his belt with Inception which isn't a personal fave of mine (ironic that Nolan's inspiration and favorite Bond movie is OHMSS). Tarantino on the other hand has promise, but he can't seem to avoid putting bits of over the top stupidity in most of his movies and this is not something I'm keen to see in a Bond movie. In many ways Tarantino is something of an A-list Kevin Smith.
*Stress, as in tension in a movie. Tarantino is famous for his tense dialogue and sudden release of violence. I personally am addicted to his work.
I honestly think he would be very tame if given the honor to direct Bond. He would never get to write it himself, he would have Eon's writers to set him straight, and I think he would go for a more serious film. Look to Inglorious Basterds as his type of Bond film. Great plot, dry humor, and amazing action and tension that make an excellent film. That would be how Tarantino approached Bond.
Tarantino usually writes his own material, thus having to create unique characters for his films. I think that's why he gets out there sometimes. But Bond is an established universe, and I'm positive he has stated before he wouldn't go against what Bond's universe has been established as.
And plus, just imagine the complexities of the villain Tarantino could produce. It would be historical.
How about Jonathan Demme?
But it would be interesting to see how B24 would turn out after a decade of no feature films.
But their are several directors that have not been mentioned including:
Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood)
Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, K19: The Widowmaker)
Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler, Black Swan)
David Cronenberg (A History of Violence, Eastern Promises, A Dangerous Method)
or Martin Campbell (Goldeneye, Casino Royale)
How about Matthew Vaugn? He's got a good 60's vibe he could embed back into the films (not necessarily having a film set in that period, just the vibe).
I'd be down.
