Some people have mentioned Branagh - not a crazy idea given his theatrical background a la Mendes and he has recent blockbuster experience.

Branagh would be great but he's filming a spy, action-thriller as we speak so...

I think it would be a mistake to bring in a previous Bond director. From a marketing point of view it would be a regressive step. Rightly or wrongly, Skyfall is seen as an improvement on previous Bonds. To use a former Bond director is looking like a step backward.

 

A big name director is needed to push the Bond box office forward. Christopher Nolan would be awesome. He would bring his vision to the next Bond film as well as increased media interest and the fans of his own movies. 

What about Campbell? Mendes wasn't a big name director.

[Jake Gittes]

Get Joe Wright on this shit. Bond could use himself some single-take fight scenes and a Chemical Brothers score. Ok, maybe the latter is too good to be true, but still.

[PatrickvD]

I would like Joe Wright to prove he can still make a great film. He's never reached the hight of Atonement with his last three films.

[Michael Gary Scott]

I thought Hanna was great

[Jake Gittes]

I thought Hanna was far and away his best work.

Anna Karenina?

[Michael Gary Scott]

Anna Karenina?

The question was a great film not whatever AK is

[Jawa]

He wasn't a huge box office draw, but he had previously won the Oscar for Best Director.

By far the greatest film he's ever made.

[Lordmandeep]

The thing is I think Bond 24 will do near 1 billion regardless of how good the next Bond film.

 

However if its a solid film it could do even better.

Still have to see it. I loved Hanna,liked atonement and I loathed the soloist.

I hate Soloist as well. I liked Hanna a lot, and loathe, detest, hate, the two barf-worthy ostentatious films that are Pomp and Circumstance, and Aknightmare. (Mainly because of Knightmare though)

Interstellar just took the date I expected Bond 24 to get. November 7, 2014. I wonder if they will still take that date and force Interstellar out since Bond is still the established series

[Hatebox]

A big sci-fi movie from Nolan probably wouldn't roll over that easy. After not getting Mendes, Bond should just cut its losses and move to 2015.

[Michael Gary Scott]

Yes because the sequel to a billon dollar film should be scared lol

[Hatebox]

Scared's got nothing to do with it - without a director and with the announcement of direct competition it just makes business sense to wait.

I expect that if Sony thinks they can make Bond in time for 2014 they'll force Interstellar out. They won't push it to 2015 unless they don't have time. Bond 23 was a 1.1 billion dollar movie; they want to keep the turnaround time as low as possible.

I think waiting an extra year boosts anticipation even more. I know I'm repeating myself, but I just don't like the two-year release schedule for Bond films.
