I am not a fan of David Fincher, but otherwise, I think it's a good list. Of these, my choices would be Brad Bird, Rian Johnson, Steven Soderbergh, or Darren Aronofsky.

I did not know this yet
I have never even thought about Soderbergh directing a Bond movie, I'm not sure how that would work out, but I'm sure atleast he knows how to portray casino scene's well!
Martin Campbell is the director the producers only need to call up on in case of an emergency! Skyfall was a succes and the franchise is in great shape, there's no need for saving! :P

But seriously, why not Martin Campbell? Here's my rationale: right now, of the three Daniel Craig/post-reboot Bonds, you have two completely serious and one that's flat-out fun. Quantum was shoved out the door for SF, which was good for SF, but how do you bring them back in? As of now, they're so shadowy that they don't really have much background and there's a lot that the audience has to learn about them. How do you make them both menacing and giving the audience the will to suspend disbelief without going into Dr. Evil territory? Campbell, after all, basically invented Quantum. Who better to explore a creation than its own creator?
How do you work Felix Leiter back in, as well? I liked him in both films, but he wasn't the "one true pal" that you get the sense of in Ian Fleming's novels. Obviously Felix has to be developed into that character, and again who better to do it than Campbell, who clearly had a vision for developing the Leiter character?
Finally, if you get Campbell, ten to one you get a shot of Bond standing over Vesper's (or possibly even M's) grave. If that isn't Flemingesque, I don't know what is.
Suits me. Any problems with GE (the score) or CR (casting) weren't his decision.

"What we're doing is altering Bond's license to kill. He can't shoot or stab or beat up anybody. They all have to perish in overchoreographed explosions that last nearly thirty seconds."
The Source Code director, Duncan Jones, sounds good. Maybe get Dad to do the song!
Otherwise, Campbell could come back for one last directing harrah. Actually, seeing as he's done so much for the franchise, you think he'd get offered the big bucks Mendes were supposedly offered.

That's a great choice! Incidentally, has a voice credit for QoS.
