SPECTRE | 11/6/15 | Final Trailer on Page 126! | Twitter reactions coming in, STID 2.0?

[Michael Gary Scott]

On Mendes decision

[Charism]

Nolan maybe?

[acab]

Well that's unfortunate. Those are some pretty big shoes that need to be filled.

 

Danny Boyle is the first name that popped into my mind.

[Hatebox]

Quentin Tarantino was serious about his interest in directing Casino Royale... maybe now's his chance.

[PatrickvD]

Tarantino is not the right director for this. He would have to put his ego aside. I'd rather he make his own movies than attempt to do a franchise film and anger the fan community. They will be out for blood.

[Crusader]

Tarantino is not the right choice nor would he do it IMO ... it would have to be written by him and filmed like he wants it to 

 

But I'd definitely anticipate a Tarantino Bond flick more than I have any other Bond 

[kayumanggi]

I want Affleck.

[PatrickvD]

I actually think Affleck isn't that bad a choice actually. 

[Lordmandeep]

Well looks like we are going to get another Thunderball lol

[Burgess]

Well looks like we are going to get another Thunderball lol

 

Interestingly, Thunderball was directed by Terence Young who also directed Dr. No and From Russia With Love. Young once bragged that he directed the first Bond film, the best Bond film and the biggest Bond film.

[Burgess]

With Mendes not returning we may get Bond 24 in 2014. Although, a revelation to us, I'm sure that this decision was made weeks ago. EON Productions has to have a shortlist already composed. The obvious choices based upon the precedence that Mendes set are Danny Boyle, Tom Hooper and Christopher Nolan. I wouldn't discount 'journeyman' directors like Stephen Frears or Roger Mitchell. Frears was attached to direct the Bond Girl spinoff film, "Jinx" and Mitchell left the production of "Quantum Of Solace" after being overwhelmed by the production schedule. I would welcome Martin Campbell's return.

[Michael Gary Scott]

If Hooper directs my anticipation will drop significantly.

^{Thunderball was not bad but a big step down from Goldfinger....}

Interesting. What's Mendes doing instead?

[Lordmandeep]

Something that will make 1/10 the money of Bond 24

[The Futurist]

Interesting. What's Mendes doing instead?

Theater.

 

And Tarantino and Affleck cannot direct a Bond movie, you have to be english to direct a Bond movie.

 

Unless they change this non written rule but I doubt they will

If Hooper directs my anticipation will drop significantly.

 

Instead of the "gunbarrel sequence" Hooper will actually stick a camera into the gunbarrel.

Wright

Miller

[Neo]

In 7 months will get the official press release and filming will start a few weeks later. I guess a director will need to be chosen by August at the latest.

[RichWS]

If they're still aiming for November 2014, they better hire a director well before August.
