  I know what you mean, the crisp action style is a bit like Young. But Campbell only wants to do reboots or restarts and never the follow up (he gets offered them but turns them down, saying it's hard to think up new ideas).
  
  I slightly get the sense with both CR and GE that he sets things up very nicely for himself but it's a hard act for another director to follow in more ways than one. Like GE dealt with the end of the Cold War, but the next director sort of has to think up something entirely new and bring it into the present.

  But isn't the next film a restart of the "traditional" bond film? There you go, now get crackin' Martin :P
