Re: Bond 24 (2014)
Your list goes from silly to serious which suggests that is the kind of Bond film you want to watch. My own tastes tend in the other direction with Connery top dog with Craig and Dalton behind him. Brosnan really was pretty terrible and Moore is only bearable for me due to nostalgia value.

Sam Mendes Will Not Direct The Next 007
“It has been a very difficult decision not to accept Michael and Barbara’s very generous offer to direct the next Bond movie," said the Oscar-winning director. "Directing SKYFALL was one of the best experiences of my professional life, but I have theatre and other commitments, including productions of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and King Lear, that need my complete focus over the next year and beyond."
Bond's next director has yet to be decided, but producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli had nothing but praise for Mendes: “We thoroughly enjoyed working with Sam. He directed our most successful Bond movie ever, SKYFALL. We would have loved to have made the next film with him but completely respect his decision to focus on other projects and hope to have the opportunity to collaborate with him again.”

Hopefully Mendes might return in the future. I hope the billion dollar success of SKYFALL convinces the Wilson & Broccoli to take their time, hire talented filmmakers, and try to make something great and unique each time around. Get someone with a real vision and an understanding of the character and turn them loose. Nicolas Refn, Duncan Jones, Tom Tykwer, etc.

That's a very heart-warming story. Producers and a director actually saying very nice things about each other. How often does that happen?

Re: Bond 24 (2014)
There's plenty of directors out there to make a good Bond film. No one would accuse Martin Campbell of being a great director, and Casino Royale is one of the best in the franchise. I don't love Goldeneye as much as some others do, but it's also one of the more popular ones.

I hate when directors that don't speak solid english try to direct english speaking actors, it never sounds right. Now is Kar-wai were to co-direct with Refn Winding we'd be in business.

Make it a Bond film and we'll all be happy. He is Commander Bond, after all, isn't he? Who says he didn't have a great-great grandfather, also named James Bond, who helmed a ship in the Napoleonic Wars?

Bring back John Glen. Hell, he directed 5 Bond movies.
He's actually 80 now and hasn't worked since 2001. Guess he's retired.
