Well, I hope the next era is more my cup of tea. I really liked CR and the more grounded/darker style at first, it certainly was refreshing especially after the over-the-top DAD. But with the following films I got increasingly bored with the more s…

So are Nolan and Villeneuve the only directors out there? Sometimes it seems we are only talking about them. :-? It's funny, because I probably would go in the opposite direction and look into talent from TV and streaming shows. I'm sure there ar…

Jonathan Nolan is an interesting suggestion, @peter. Honestly I haven't seen "Fallout" because I think it's not exactly my cup of tea, but based on the trailer and the reviews he could bring some fresh ideas into Bond, even including some solid humo…

Thank you for the clarifications @peter. Yes, scheduling seems to be a very real issue when it comes to hiring a director. And a well-known director like Villeneuve certainly receives a lot of different offers and has a lot of projects. To clarif…

Disappointed to hear that Villeneuve still seems to be the favored director for Bond 26. With this rumor and with Broccoli saying in early 2023* that future Bonds would need the same "emotional heft" like Bond in the Craig era (is this "emotional he…

I think Mark Mylod is a pretty good idea. "The Menu" was very entertaining. Sadly David McKenzie will most likely be busy in the coming months. He starts filming a movie with Aaron Taylor-Johnson in June, so I guess this will rule him out.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Luke Newton (from "Bridgerton") yet. Too young, I guess. Don't know anything about his acting, haven't seen the show.

Bird would be a fantastic choice. Not only would he most likely bring back more humor and a little lightness after the mostly serious Craig era, I think he could be able to balance all the important "ingredients" (action, thrill, humor, gadgets) wel…

Looks like we now know Villeneuves "secret project": https://deadline.com/2024/04/nuclear-war-movie-denis-villeneuve-legendary-dune-part-two-bestselling-book-1235876114/ The chances of him taking over as director for Bond 26 are now probably get…

I wonder how big the chances are that there will be some official news this year... I'm starting to think we may have to wait until next year regarding Bond 26 news. Maybe the first official information we hear could be the choice of the director?
-
Personally, I would have preferred it if Villeneuve directed NTTD (although I think Fukunaga did a good job directing-wise) instead of the next movie. For various reasons, Villeneuves directing style would fit very well to the Craig era: Slow, dark,…

Why are we (almost) only talking about Nolan and Villeneuve lately? I think there are a lot of other interesting and talented directors out there...🙂

Hopefully it's not true, my anticipation for the next movie would be gone. :( There are many other talented directors out there.

Well, assuming the producers would like to hire Villeneuve it's most likely because they like his films and his filming style. Almost all of his films are relatively slow and very serious, with very little humor. If they want to go to back to more h…

Really sad times...looks more like a 2030 (or later) release now. ☹️
