| I think what most people are forgetting here, is that the next Bond will be in the wake of Skyfall, bigger directors (Nolan, Danny Boyle etc) would rather create/imprint their own take (new Bond, new style), rather than being responsible for continuing Mendes' legacy.

| RE: Campbell Hatrick |
| I agree. I know a lot of the dialogue was inspired by the 50th anniversary and was maybe put in to keep the fans happy, but my wife ( who isn't really a Bond fan) was a bit irritated by the self-referential dialogue and in-jokes- and we agreed that me having to explain some of the references and " ohh isn't that clever" bits wasn't necessarily a good thing ( Dr Who is the same). I say that we're done with the whole reboot/exploring Bond's origins and character bit. Any more and it will tip ove More Posted by mjj at 16:56 on 06 March 2013 | Report This Post |

| Other choices |
| If Campbell doesn't get the gig, I'd go for Matthew Vaughn or Danny Boyle. Joe Wright is very overrated, and Paul Greengrass never misses an opportunity to slag off Bond, so I don't know why anyone would suggest him. Plus, his shakycam bollocks is played out.

| He did a great job, but I think Campbell should come back for another go |
| He's spotty outside of Bond, but Martin Campbell has directed two of the best Bond films ever. I don't think Craig liked him very much though, so I doubt it will happen. Certainly get David Arnold back in the fold, if nothing else. Newman's an excellent composer, but his effort was very forgettable next to Arnold's superb Casino Royale score.

| RE: Get a director who understands what it is to be British |
| Thirdeded, although I wouldn't say no to Nolan either, both would do a fine job. Nolan has been itching to make a Bond film (see: Inception) and the only trouble with Boyle is his hesitance to deal with big budgets (The Beach) - saying that, he did make Slumdog into a huge film, but for me it ruined it a bit. The story felt like, to quote Mr Baggins, butter scraped over too much bread. But Bond is a whole world in itself, and maybe Boyle could do something with that. It feels like Boyle's tryin More Posted by FoxDhoj at 15:46 on 06 March 2013 | Report This Post |

| Matthew Vaughn |
| Just watched XMen 1st Class and it towers over any of the others.
KIck Ass... kicked!
He's just damn good and given the Bond toybox I think he could do great things.
As for the Mendes/Skyfall hates - you have your beliefs and I'll have mine. Personally I think Skyfall was incredible and a big old slap in the face for any other action/adventure movie out there.

Fassbender's Magneto was played like 007 and Vaughn got that style spot on. I think he'd make a marvelous Bond film. More Posted by jimbojofre at 14:49 on 06 March 2013 | Report This Post |

| Probably a good thing |
| Great as Skyfall was, I think that having him back straightaway wouold be a mistake. The Bond films occasionally get themselves into a creative rut and the series thrives on change and renewal. I think the producers should allow a gap of at least 2 films before re-using a director.The Spy Who Loved Me was followed by Moonraker, which used the same director and writer ( and pretty much the same plot) with much less success. Guy Hamilton and Tom Manckewiz did 3 films on the trot, which resulted i More Posted by mjj at 13:34 on 06 March 2013 | Report This Post |

| Is Skyfall really so great |
| Just to add to some of the other comments....is Skyfall really that much better than Casino Royale? Or is it that it came after such an absolute turkey as QofS? To be honest it isn't as good as On Her Majesty's secret Service, the only Bond to feature a genuine romance and the only film where Bond seems genuinely in jeopardy, at times seeming lost for an escape and wondering where to turn. I think they would be better off remaking that or at least having some real female characters for once. More Posted by ericcoyle at 13:10 on 06 March 2013 | Report This Post |

For me Casino Royale was better. I'd like to see Tarantino have a go! I kinda like the idea of revisiting an old Bond movie like The man with the golden gun and re-doing it.

| Good, I'm glad. Skyfall has to be one of the most overrated films in recent years. It was good, but no where near as good as the praise it receives, and I believe this was, in part, due to that fact it was directed by a 'respected' director such as Mendes, so all the critics had their rose-tinted glasses on. As for the public reaction? Well, just look at Transformers 3. More Posted by cunningmunki at 12:16 on 06 March 2013 | Report This Post |

It would be foolhardy for Mendes to follow this up as he resided the bar impossibly high for himself. It almost certainly won?t make as much at the box office either as the culmination of the Olympics and the 50th anniversary really helped contribute towards the patriotism and enthusiasm for Bond.
Skyfall was a great entry into the Bond cannon but I?d like to see someone else tackle the franchise. Although I really enjoyed it, it wasn?t The Best Bond Ever.

| Someone always says 'Nolan', but ... |
| ... personally I think Bond is at his best when he's emotional. That's when he's at his most dangerous. Nolan is wonderful but his movies are becoming great feats of engineering, like watching the gears of a Swiss watch. Fascinating to look at and definitely worth returning to, but lacking in humanity. My vote? Ben Affleck, of course. He's the man of the moment and Bond would be in his genre of crime plots and human drama. Obvious choice, but the right choice, and that's what counts.

| It's completely understandable. The amount of pressure that would be on him to equal if not better Skyfall would be ridiculous, just like one of the reasons Peter Jackson didn't want to direct The Hobbit in the first place. If he does return after a few like Campbell from Goldeneye to Casino Royale, the 'Mendes hype' might have died down to a point where he can come back into the franchise with a fresh head and make the film he wants to make, with substantially less pressure.
