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."

I absolutely love the idea of Campbell returning. As you said, he introduced the new bond and can do it again now.

Only problem I see is that the scriptwriters said that they wrote the first draft with Pierce in mind, so there might be some problems with the script. Though I'm sure they can get around that and hopefully deliver a good movie this time

silver_tears
Well we might not have a problem if Pierce is back big grin

He should of chose Clive Owens. They did work together in Beyord Borders.

Dear Irene, I would like to ask how is having convo about bring cuffs more on topic in the Campbell thread than having a convo about possibilities of seeing the newest and probable the best Batman movie in Bond vs. Batman thread?

Would appreciate the real and honest answer.
and the one that you're a mod and you can is not acceptable erm

I was fully behind his support to select Goran Visjnic as Bond but I'm glad that they got Campbell back: he already did it with Goldeneye.
And then that Haggis will polish up the script (Crash & Million Dollar Baby) so it's all set up to be good IF they do it well

lordofwar
Well, the Legend of Zorro isn't getting too many good reviews by critics. Campbell better not screw up CR.

yerssot
yeah but what is Zorro? You can't compare that with Bond, better think of GE, he did that one and it was dark and introduced a new bond just like CR will do the same
