    Hiring a female director is a smart move as long as that female director is talented and can handle the pressure that comes with directing a big budget movie.S.J. Clarkson does not fit the bill.
    You just can´t stop making a joke out of yourself, can you? regardless of wether you believe a word @ColonelSun says or not, you make your own lack of knowledge and reason so obvious I find it hard not to get unpolite.

    Everything in the above post by Panchito seems completely rational to me. Don't hire a director, female or not, unless they know what they're doing.

    The point is, these TV directors do know what the are doing. How on earth would they be directing top end TV? Directing top TV is a harder gig to get than many feature films.

    Because TV, "top end" or otherwise, still isn't filmmaking. It's a completely different practice.

    Not to say you can't have success at both, but to assume someone will be successful at one because they are successful at the other is quite a big presumption.

    You're right. It's far harder in a huge number of respects.

    Wrong. Where do u get your insight from? High budget TV, today, is run like a feature film, more so than many feature films. I have many friends who write and direct or produce or line-produce top end TV, and it is not a soap opera any more. Just look at the quality of the shows. 2018. Wake up.

    As CraigMooreOHMMS said- bond has always been and will be bigger than any actor or director regardless of who they are. We need to wait before reaching any pointless conclusion before any official announcement.

    Any First ADs / Production Managers looking at these claims that a mid-budget, very accomplished TV/Netflix director "wouldn't be able to handle" a feature film shooting schedule must be feeling hugely underappreciated. An incredibly thankless position.

    Now it's not even permitted to share some perplexity about Clarkson? After tons of exhausting OFF TOPIC complaints, frustration and toxicity about "Spectre ruined my life", "Craig and Barbara ruined the franchise", "How I miss the good old times" in a topic titled B25 Production Diary?

    Good to know.

    To be honest I'm not particularly keen on a woman directing Bond 25 and that is my opinion I stand by. Bond is a man's man in a small testosterone fueled world. A woman directing a Bond film sounds like a politically correct gimmick to me, especially in this day and age, to cater to certain 'movements'. There is a reason most boys, when they're young, play with guns and are rowdy in general and the majority of women aren't. I don't know of any female director who is particularly keen on Bond, car chases, seducing women, to name a few.

    I know one male director who can't pull of a decent car chase.

    I'm not saying someone like Clarkson couldn't deliver a good Bond movie. No one can know, in fact. I'm saying that the idea of a Bond movie IN 2018 made by someone who never made a feature film in her life it's a long shot. If you look at the best blockbuster ever made (especially in this era of over saturated blockbuster franchises) they always have a strong director with a clear, strong and personal vision behind it.

    I just think assuming as a fact that any TV director could deliver a great movie of this size just because in 2018 TV is no more just soap opera crap it's also wrong.

    Yes, there are people like Peter Jackson who directed TLotR after some small horror b-movies, but it was a dream project for him, something he worked on for a decade. This scenario here is very different, with pre-production and script polishing goin on without even a director 3/4 months from principal photography.

Spectre had an Oscar-winning director coming back from the most successful Bond film in 40 years, and look how that turned out.

    Throwing out things like "TV directors wouldn't be able to handle the schedule" just makes you look ignorant. I mean that in the nicest way possible considering how this thread has riled me today.

    Why do people keep saying that Sam Mendes couldn't make a decent chase after he already made an opening like SF. SP was different scenario all together.

    This film is rushing to meet a deadline as it is. The last thing it needs is a director who has never made a film before, let alone a blockbuster.

    I know plenty including myself that find the QOS PTS thrilling, yes the editing is a little frenetic but compare that to Mendes directing 2 very expensive sports car casually drive around Rome with little next to no suspense.

    I don't think it removes him. Seems to me it confirms that he truly is an up and comer. Makes me want him as director even more.

    The schooting schedule won't be a problem, especially with Barbara Broccoli producing (yes, I believe she is incompetent, but where she always fails is pre-production, not the production, aka filming) and a first-rate second unit director. What the issue is is that they are condsidering downgrading from the likes of Mendes and Boyle to a complete unknown.

    Well, to me Spectre turned out great. But we're not talking about tastes right?

    And I never talked just about "schedule issues", come on. Read again my comments. If you think directing something like Collateral in London presents the same issues that directing a globetrotting 200 million dollars movie (debut) with hundreds and hundreds of employees working with more experienced people than you, plus all the pressure that a Bond movie carries on the shoulder of a director, well fine. To me, this assumption sounds also a little naive.

    The best thing we can do is waiting for an announcement. Ah, and I never assumed B25 it's not goin to be great.

    BB is incompetent? How on earth could that be true? And, as I have already tried to explain, going in a new direction for a new director is not downgrading. A top level TV director knows how to step into an advanced production. Can u comprehend that?
