    Top 5 composer wish list.

    Joe Kramer (MI: Rogue Nation)
    Michael Giacchino (The Incredibles, MI3/Ghost Protocol)
    Henry Jackman & Matthew Margeson (Kingsman)
    Alan Silvestri (Judge Dredd, Back to the Future Trilogy, The Avengers)
    Danny Elfman (Batman, Mission: Impossible)

    And if none of them accept the job, David Arnold.

    I never thought about it that way before. With Mendes gone, the chance of EON hiring Newman for Bond 25 shrinks to zero. I'm glad of that. I don't think I could handle any other film with the same generic score repeated again. I look forward to someone new giving it a go!

    SP was trial and error, with SF he delivered a great entry.

    The suspense is killing me as to whether Craig comes back or not. And also, even then, how they'll decide to go from SP with the story. If it is a new actor, I'd like to see them start off similar to Connery - already settled into the job.

    That's ridiculous. So you'd rather they announce Tamahori is directing just as long as they do it tomorrow?

    Isn't it better to wait and get things right? Although not that there's any guarantee of that in the slightest.

    I'd rather have another QOS next year than waiting four years and get another total mess like SF.

    I'd sooner have an extra year of someone polishing the script rather than get another shuttle crash like SP's third act.

    I don't think extra time helps them though. At least not on the evidence to date. Sometimes we get something great, and sometimes we don't, even with the same team. Strange lack of consistency here.

    They need to get the script right for the next one.

    While its highly likely that Mendes won't return for Bond 25, directing another film in between doesn't really rule him out. If Bond 25 doesn't start production until December 2017 for a late 2018 release there is still time for Mendes to consider returning for Bond 25. To be honest i'd really like Mendes to return and also looking forward to a new project from him. The headline is slightly misleading. Its as if he has left Bond 25 to direct The Voyeurs Motel. After SP he was never officially signed to direct Bond 25.

    From what I've read, I think Mendes will keep an open mind and potentially return, if Craig is back. I think it all hinges on Craig more than anyone, but perhaps the studio thing even takes precedence over all of that.

    I still also believe the longer it drags, the less likely Craig will return, as a new studio probably will want to 'launch' with a soft reboot if the film is coming out in 2018 or later.

    I just hope we aren't delayed for a year plus waiting for particular people to return, just for them to decide they aren't returning and all of that waiting and time wasted will have been for absolutely nothing.

    I too believe Mendes and/or Craig may be back for a fifth and last one. In fact it would be a shame if not. Spectre has brought back the true cinematic Bond feeling and I really want more of that with Craig.
    CR-SF was an experiment that didn't really go well. CR being the great one thanks to Martin Campbell and wise casting decisions.

    Craig 5 could be so much fun. They even could bring back some characters from the first four movies.

    And if EON has to start a new era it should not be a soft reboot but a continuation of Spectre. 100% Bond, no experimental nonsense. Keep the cast, it will work fine with a new Bond actor, it always has worked in the past.
    Bring in a director that knows how to do action and already has delivered good movies.
    Marc Forster and Sam Mendes were mistakes (even if Spectre has turned out to be great), but they failed miserably with QOS/SF.

    And of course, the most important thing, no matter how it will play out, HIRE NEW WRITERS.

    Sorry, changed. I definitely do think that Mendes is gone. He's hinted at it on numerous occasions, including the Empire Awards, where he described Spectre as "The end of a five year journey."

    Hire me to perform the role of the entire cast and crew. Simple. $3 billion box office, easily.

    This is the part I'm not so sure of. In the days of Llewlyn, Lee & Maxwell, there was quite a run before Connery was replaced, so all three were firmly entrenched in the role. The same arguably goes for Dench when Craig came along.

    Moreover, many directors had worked with these actors on respective Bond films before an actor replacement took place. Namely Young, Hamilton, Gilbert and Hunt pre-Moore & Campbell, Spottiswoode, Apted & Tamahori pre-Craig.

    Fiennes, Harris & Whishaw are firmly Samuel Mendes constructs in contrast. Only he has worked on a Bond film with them, and they are his vision. Additionally, they have only been around for the last two films, and not all four of Craigs. So I wonder if they necessarily will survive an actor, or even a director change

    I think you would make a swell Q !
    @DarthDimi would be perfect as Bond.

    @Thunderfinger can be Moneypenny.

    I am the villain. Count Lot of Doe.

    Whishaw should definitely reprise his role. A lot of reviewers said he was the best thing about SP, it would be madness to replace him.

    Personally I hope they abandon this current chronology with the next actor. They should drop it like an ugly baby. You can view the entire Craig era as a kind of 'Bond Begins' saga, it makes sense to pick up with a fully developed Bond whose only motivation is his duty.

    Seriously SPECTRE is not a masterpiece not nowhere near it, you can like it or in the case of some worship it but a masterpiece it certainly isn't.

    I don't think any Bond film is and that half baked hodge podge certainly is not.

    I want to be M so that I can yell at @Thunderfinger with absolute impunity. I'd have said Tanner, but if they don't even bother giving Rory jack to do, they certainly won't give me the time of day.

    Guys, lets just face it. The next one wont come out until 2019, and then there will be a new actor who will make a few every 4-5 years and will be the last bond
