The Bourne thing and the mentioning of past Bonds crops up here too.
I think the thing we have to remeber is that Bourne changed the way we look at Bond
Die another Day was silly in the extreme and while that was large and grandiose to no effect the Bourne Movies looked mean and lean in comparision.
Dont get me wrong i LOVE the old Bond Movies with there enormus sets ,great innuendo and larger than Life villians, but i do think its admirable that the current Bond Team are forging there own stream with the series.
Maybe the only way to stop this moaning is to let Paul Greengrass have a go at a Bond or Maybe and this is a very long shot John Woo i know his recent films have been gash but remeber The Killer,Face Off and Hardboiled? one can only wonder what his version of Bond would be like.
Paul Greengrass would be interesting too grafting his Bourne Action Nous on to a Bond feature
Bourne didn't change the way I looked at Bond, but it did change the producer's way they looked at it, they looked at it & thought lets just imitate it!
007 is already a pale imitation of Bourne, please don't go the whole way & get that Bourne bloke to direct it!! The idea of John Woo is almost as unpalatable as Tarantino's desire to have a go a few years back
agreed but if someone had said to you the Director of Finding Neverland and The Kite Runner was going to have a go a few years back you would have laughed your head off, of the most recent Bond Directors for Me Martin Campbell did the best job, but overall Guy Hamilton and Terence Young gave us the most interesting Bonds
To be Honest i dony really care who directs just as long as they keep the franchise going
here some more names i bandied about with mates
Matthew Vaughn
Paul McGuigan
James McTeague
Tony Scott
Neil Marshall (that split the discussion i can tell you)
Pete Travis
Saul Dibb
To be honest I think you need a director who isn’t well known for a distinctive directorial style. The style should be Bond rather than someone like Woo stamping his imagery onto the film. Even though I wasn’t a fan of CR I agree that, with the right material, Martin Campbell is the man for the job.
