Yes, he is on the list for sure.
Funnily enough, they're alike. Edgar Wright is almost in their mould too.
And Campbell was better than Tamahori, only marginally. ;)
Campbell better than Tamahori marginally? Lol, wow!
As much as Guy Ritchie and Vaughn.
Exactly.
You don't like him and that's fine but he's not Vaughn.
And Marc Forster is at least younger than Campbell.
I remember even in 2005 there was skepticism of him returning to Bond, because he had just delivered THE LEGEND OF ZORRO which was a significant step down from the first. It was reasonable to worry he might not do well with a second Bond at the time. Luckily his second Bond was better than his second Zorro.
I’d take Ritchie for Bond over Matthew Vaughn or David Yates (the latter would be a worst case scenario in my opinion). But none are right for Bond I’d say.
Now that you say it, maybe hiring a guy who is a bit on the back foot with critics, but not totally a f-up, is the way to go. With Luca Guadagnino now off of Sgt. Rock and probably a little embarrassed, I bet he'd be easy to get for Bond.
He already ruled himself out the minute Amazon took over.
Humor feels British and American in sort Norwegian Ocean's 11/Now You See Me.
What George Clooney movie did with paintings, this movie doing with Gold.
Goldeneye reference
I already have one movie on dvd where he did cinematography for, Trolljegeren 2010.
Odyessy releases July 2026, just a little over a year away - it's not that long really.
First, a little princess
Then, a teenage Wizard
Now, an adult secret agent. B-)
Cuaron’s name has been floating around for two months with zero confirmation from the trades. That silence says a lot. At this point, it’s more likely he was either just a rumour or talks fell through. If it were happening, we’d probably have heard by now. He’s giving a talk in Mexico on May 30 - maybe we’ll get clarity then. Anyone planning on attending or can keep an eye on this?
My personal fav is still Luca Guadagnino. Just watch that sexy Cartier ad — it oozes Bond. He's done action (kinda) in Bones & All and he's done commercial with Challengers.
If they want someone dependable and properly British, I’d throw Philip Barantini into the mix. Adolescence was pure Champions League level filmmaking.
Has to be John Glen or failing him, Martin Campbell.
We'll probably wind up switching directors now and again.
Barantini would be an out of the box but pretty interesting pick.
Wow, that is a bummer. I'm praying now on bended legs that they hire Edgar Wright, he has a pitch he's been talking to Barbara for years about, otherwise God help us.
No to Wright.
