    Nobody thinks they're a flash in the pan until it happens. David O Russell was red hot in the early 2010s and now he's not. Still, he's very talented and still making movies, but he's not where he was a decade ago.

    I'm pretty sure that's more due to O'Russell being an abusive lunatic rather than his career naturally fizzing out. Although it always amazes me he's still working.

    Didn’t George Clooney punch Russell on the set of Three Kings as he was being abusive to a crew member?

    Yes. That's amongst many issues he's had with others throughout his career (and even personal life).

    Spielberg isn't anywhere close to where he was in the late 70s and early 80s. Scorsese , Coppola... No one sustains their peak indefinitely, but I don't think that makes them a flavour of the month.

    I think that title belongs to the like of Max Landis and Josh Trank types.

    And no, @HitchBondUSA , no one has been hired to write B26 yet.

    I agree, I feel there are great directors who are popular at this moment in time, and they always go to the height of the bond director wish list, and there are equally talented directors who for whatever reason are not as popular a name, and they are not really considered and I wish that wasn't the case.

    I like Spielberg and a lot of his films, but I wouldn't want him to helm a Bond film. Produce maybe, but not direct. He would make a technically great film, but I'm not sure it would have the edge.

    When did EON hire a director because of his popularity? Even Sam Mendes was not at his best.

    Maybe Lewis Gilbert after Alfie.
