Could be interesting. Fleming himself used a story arc for On Her Majesty's Secret Service and You Only Lived Twice (and The Man With the Golden Gun to an extent), but Broccoli and Saltzman fudged that when they filmed them in the wrong order. More

Paul Greengrass wouldn't do it at all, I think. He slated Bond in an interview around the time of Bourne Ultimatum's cinema release.
nd yet, oddly, he was seen at the Skyfall premiere.

I'm not a great Bond fan, not a hater either as I'm happy to watch each new movie just incase its actually a good movie. I kind of agree with Vader, that they are all pretty much the same, hence I would never watch any of them over again. I would sooner watch the Bourne Trilogy through again, than sit and watch more that one Bond movie. Except for Living Daylights, but only because its both a great movie and the best Bond movie, IMO of course. More

I think being Commonwealth has a lot to do with rule c), understanding Britishness.
Haha Jee-Woon Kim's would be the first 18-cert Bond, right? quote]ORIGINAL: Deviation
He has to be a Commonwealth director? If that's true then that's a shame because Kim Jee-Won would have been perfect for a Bond movie.
Also, the Marc Foster thing is a bit unfair, there were a bit of problems in QoS and they weren't just on him.

The Bond Director rules are: a) has to be a Commonwealth director, b) has to be name-under-the-title, c) has to understand Britishness, d) has to be a fan, etc. Unofficial rule e) has to be a hack at heart - the producers like to have control over the franchise! Although to B'n'W's credit they've picked arty choices for Craig so far and really let them put their stamp on Bond, which I think is how they're keeping things fresh. Forster was an exception to rule a) and Mendes is an almost-exceptio More

First things first: Yep, this sadly means no Christopher Nolan while Craig is Bond. Anyone else think TDKR was a better Bond film than QoS? But Bond is doing fine without Nolan, as much as Craig and he are a perfect tonal fit.
This is exciting news! I was hoping the next two films would deal with Quantum and I can only imagine that'll be one of the major plotlines in Bonds 24 and 25. It'll be a nice ending to Craig's arc (the fact that he *has* an arc is awesome enough) if he chooses not to do More

Why on earth are you hoping those clowns will be involved again? Left to their own devices they wrote some of the worst Bond films ever! Die Another Day and The World Is Not Enough - utter rubbish. They needed Haggis and Fleming to help them with Casino Royale and Logan must be the reason that Skyfall was so good. Get those idiots as far away from Bond as possible. More

I, for one, really liked that QoS started where Casino Royale ended. I like the idea of each Bond having their own arc as well as their own style. I think it's cool. Been watching a LOT of Bond on SKY 007 HD and it's clear to see that, while the Bonds themselves have all been unique and different, some of the stories have suffered from 'Identikit' plotlines. There's been a lot of recycling in the last 50 years so I look forward to anything fresh. More

Bit shakey about Nolan or Boyle helming the next one. Keep any Bourne affiliates away - unfortunately that includes Paul Greengrass, and Tony Gilroy (thank god - Bourne Legacy was awful now I think about it). David Fincher could work but I'm worried he would make this way too dark. My mind just keeps coming back to Mendes, and more to the point, Deakins - because I just got back and thought it was the best Bond this side of maybe the early 80's, in my honest opinion (of the Bond's I've seen of More

Fincher maybe, not Refn, not Slade, definitely not the Coen's (as much as I love them, it just wouldn't work). Gareth Evans would be interesting as would Matthew Vaughn (If he doesn't drop out half way through) would be interesting. Hopefully they will try up the QUANTUM storyline so those two films don't look erroneous and the Craig era doesn't end with loose ties. More

Skyfall is one of the best Bond films and a definite step in the right direction for the franchise. Traditional Bond with much needed emotional and dramatic weight. It takes the franchise out of the shadow of the Bourne series while still delivering a Bond that you can believe in a post 911 world.
Danny Boyle, Joe Wright, Nicholas Winding Refn or David Fincher would all make fine candidates to direct the next two. Like Mendes, they're all artistic directors who would focus on the character More

Nolan at the helm please! He wants to do a Bond movie and anyone who has seen his films, particularly Inception, would know he would do a great job. I like that it's a two parter, maybe introduce his wife in the first and kill her in the second? Having said that we've already had the 'broken man' plot after Vesper's death, might be repetitive but could work if handled rightly, which Nolan would do I think. More

Please, no more Daniel Craig attempts at Roger Moore humour. And stop already with the 'wanting revenge on M' or 'good agents gone bad' plots from the Brosnan era with Goldeneye and The World is Not Enough.
There's no point in brilliantly reinventing the franchise with Casino Royale, if ur just going to hark backwards again with nostalgis as Skyfall. Please, please, don't return to the old formula - it's so had it's day. More
