The Return of Martin Campbell
Hmmm, looks like the producers are taking the same direction as in 1977 when they rehired Lewis Gilbert to do TSWLM 10 years after he did YOLT.
I loved Goldeneye when it first came out. Campbell was excellent in bringing in a new era of Bond and presenting a new Bond. And I see no reason he couldn't do it again. I think Campbell would be a decent choice to direct bond 21 despite his two disappointments of Vertical Limits and Beyond Borders. The most important along with the script is who is playing James Bond, that will make anything in the script look better, and anything the director does better.
I heard that Campbell's top choice for bond is Clive Owens: "Clive would make a great James Bond. He goes back to the Connery version of Bond. There's a duality in both Connery and Clive. These are guys who onscreen love you one minute and then can kill you in the next. Plus, with Clive, like with Connery, when he hits you, you stay down."
