  Thoughts ? Sam Mendes will direct Bond24, so he hasn't got a chance.

  let me rephrase then. Who would you most liked to have seen take on the directors role for Bond 24?

  ....and the best he ever managed was a sermon on the mount.

  A great director doesn't necessarily make a great Bond film. Cuaron might well make the best Bond film ever, but I think it's hard to tell from his previous work. It would definitely be visually spectacular, but I don't know if it would be true to the character and the series although I wouldn't be opposed to his hiring. I really enjoyed Skyfall so I am more than happy to have Mendes back and intrigued to see how the story/characters will develop.

  Though I am thrilled that Mendes is returning, I would love to see Alfonso Cuaron direct a Bond film.
  
  Incidentally, Cuaron had a voice cameo as a Bolivian helicopter pilot in QoS.

  I suppose as long as Marc Forster doesn't return to the Bond franchise - all is well. Btw I actually think that Sam Mendes has a good chance of improving upon Skyfall with Bond 24. I know a lot of people see that as a modern epic like CR but honestly every time I watch SF I enjoy it slightly less ?:)

  Well, I think that depends more on the script and the actors...you need a good starting point otherwise you are in trouble from the start...
