    There's something to what Jake is saying...

    So who is it then? Who is big enough to inject some much needed buzz and interest into this thing at this stage? Thoughts?

    Nolan...

    Precisely.

    His name has been thrown around so much, and he is awaiting the results of the Best Director award at the Oscars. Very soon after the Oscars, Nolan could be announced.

    What if Bond 25, Craig’s last, is something of a reimagining?

    You mean like... the events of QoS, SF and SP all being dreams and he wakes up in a different reality? Hmm... ;)

    It could be anything. Nolan said he had an idea for Bond that hadn’t been done before, and I’m willing to see what that is. At first I didn’t want Nolan directing Bond, but I have warmed up to the idea.

    Bond wakes up from cryosleep and Hicks and Newt are still alive. Now they can all finally go take on that evil company.

    I'd be surprised if a director isn't already attached. Filming likely begins in less than 10 months and much time has to be allotted for them to inject their vision into the project.

    I agree completely. I believe the director is in place and contributing.

    Bambigoye claimed (I think in Dec) that Nolan was apparently not doing it. How did he know? Well because he said he had interviewed him the previous day. Has anyone got that alleged interview? I can't find a trace of it online. Hmm.

    He had a point when he said “Bond 25 is a long way off”.

    I don’t think that’s the case @ClarkDevlin. If anyone on this site has a remote connection to EoN, we may know that they are moving into production offices by April. If this is true, a script is done. And perhaps a director’s been in place for a bit, managing the behind the scenes activities.

    There is. And I am hedging that his name is Denis Villeneuve. ;-)

    I highly doubt he's doing it, but I'd love to be surprised with this one.

    Nolan can get them across the billion dollar mark. How eon haven't gotten him to helm one yet is beyond me.

    I will say, the only director who can move this secretly between projects is Nolan. No cell phone, no email. Very few leaks about his work ever. You never know what he's up to. It could be a reason the press has been quiet on the director front since last summer.

    The only way I can see him doing this film is if he is also attached to Bond 26 with the promise of casting the next actor. I don't see him doing 25 when it's not his actor but hey, who knows?

    Let's hope there's some director attached at least. What's said above is right, filming will begin later this year/early next year and hopefully the director is working with Purvis and Wade about their vision. I'm sure we'll hear something soon.

    Hmm, ruining one franchise (Bond) to repair a grave mistake in another (Alien 3). That would be a weird one.

    It is strange that we don't know what Nolan's next project is, but to assume it's Bond 25 is going a bit far. He would only get involved if it meant he could recast Bond next time.

    I don’t see why Nolan can’t do both Bond 25 and 26.

    I agree . Nolan has said that he knows what he would do with the character; this would imply a fresh start; but he is a very talented filmmaker and would be more than capable of doing a film that finishes Craig’s tenure as Bond before realizing his vision with a new 007.
    Is this scenario likely ? No , but he is capable.

    As much as I'd love Nolan, Villeneuve or some other fresh blood, my money's on Mendes returning. But my money was also on Hillary Clinton so what do I know.
    I don't know anything. It's just a hunch :P

    There's more chance Mendes returns than Nolan or Villeneuve directs Craig's last Bond film.

    That sums up the problem pretty precisely. We don´t need something that hasn´t been done before. We need what has been done before, done amazingly well. Nolan has proven time and again that he is no guarant for quality.

    Doing something that hasn´t been done before is an easy escape from simply doing it right. Most people will be so preoccupied with the aspect of innovation that they overlook the quality. And until they notice millions of tickets will have been wasted.

    The constant mention of those three makes me feel like we live in very dark ages. Imagine the film music alone: Mendes would bring another Newman wash, and both Nolan or Villeneuve would bring Zimmer or one of his adepts. How can anyone approve of this?

    Well thank you, @Murdock, but the day is still fresh, lots of good posts can yet come, leading to a worldwide ban of Zimmer and cohorts as film music producers :-).

    That's a ban I would support. :))
