Who should direct the next James Bond?

[@robertborland5083]

I greatly enjoyed this video! I find myself thinking a lot on this subject & coming to very similar desires in potential Bond directors, especially focusing on more unexpected or lesser-known directors that utilize interesting style & art direction. The suggestions are outside of the box and are a lot to consider. Personally, I think we already have Christopher Nolan's Bond film; Tenet.

Brilliant video mate. Great research and some intelligent guesses for future directors. Subscribed. 😉

[@byronwylder]

Thank you!

[@alunstevenfennell1042]

Christopher Nolan without a doubt should not only Direct, perhaps even write and produce the next bond movie, give him free reign to reboot the franchise with a vision for a series of three to four movies over the next ten years. Leave Barbara Broccoli produce a corresponding 007 Tv spin-off series in support of the movie franchise, but she needs to take a step back from the stranglehold she has over the movies and branding. A lot of the problem with Broccoli has been the funding and her relationship with movie studios over the years, the broccoli family have taken so much from the franchise, but they are unable to fund new movie development or generate investment themselves, studios are reluctant to work with broccoli because of her iron clad claw on the franchise. Give it to Nolan and every studio door and check book would be opened for a series of new James Bond movies.

Wylder comments & creations are wild!!! Super informative and interesting🎉

[@byronwylder]

Haha thank you that's really sweet! I'll try to keep sharing interesting stuff!

[@Indyblue-s]

Nice Byron! Loved this so much, so interesting and engaging! Learned so much 😊

Martin Campbell had also directed episodes of The Professionals, which was an action series. I don't the problem with Quantum of Solace was its being too bleak; it was that they had to put it out without writers due to the writers strike. Finally, I think the seduction of the widow in SPECTRE is when I finally bought Daniel Craig's Bond as a ladies man. I'd be interested in seeing Tom Tykwer direct a Bond movie, mostly based on the Guggenheim shootout in The International.

[@brianjones7907]

Talking about The Professionals Pierce Brosnan's 3rd screen appearence was in a episode "Blood Sport" (season 4 .. episode 8) of that series, he played a CI5 Agent operating a radio , this was not one of the 5 episodes directed by Martin Campbell

[@jhjhjhjhjhjhify]

I'd personally go for Edward Berger, David Mackenzie or Mark Mylod. But it's tricky. You never know whether a director understands James Bond or not, and I don't think the producers do either until they've talked to these people.

[@byronwylder]

All really cool choices!

[@randallrutherford1384]

Martin Campbell

[@byronwylder]

Would love him to do it.

[@crazyman8472]

Christopher Nolan! 😎

[@cesara.santana7883]

Your options for director are very good, I would like you to make a video just like this one but analyzing the next actor.

[@byronwylder]

Thank you so much. I can't wait to see that and hear your picks!

[@cecilhester]

Nicely done, video. Take care, Bryon.

[@TamSpreckley-ot9zw]

A lot of directors to choose from, I suggest Gareth Edwards. Yes , he’d do a good job.

[@SunnyIntervalsORG]

Miguel Sapochnik would be my suggestion, known for the big action filled episodes of Game of Thrones.

[@byronwylder]

That is a fantastic pick!

[@SunnyIntervalsORG]

Thanks!

[@ScaredStraightProductions]

Id love for campbell to come back. Nolan has had talks with barbara and Michael but i dont think theyd give him the creative freedom he would like. Personally I want them to go back to single story movies that are more fun and lighthearted with edgy violence. Aaron taylor johnson is my pick for a new Bond.

[@byronwylder]

I so agree with you on wishing they'd do one off stories. Have one in the 60's one in the 80's etc. I don't think they'll do it but it would be amazing. My top picks for actor are Dev Patel and George McKay but I would be keen to see ATJ do it.

[@nicholassheffo5723]

It was only SIX years since LICENCE TO KILL, not 8, as you said.

[@OyvindMyhrvold]

Great video!:D

[@amymorrison4213]

An older British Man!

[@WhoisJohnGalt402]

Woody Allen !

[@gelchert]

Christopher McQuarrie. Besides Nolan, how many other people can direct kick-ass action movies AND write Oscar-caliber screenplays?

[@alexisedwards2784]

Quentin Tarentino

[@frankb821]

I would have said Nolan, but EON let the opportunity slip trough their fingers as Chris is now prepping his "Prisoner" remake instead. EON's judgment is DOA and their apathy is unmitigated.

[@simonbrunner3062]

Edgar Wright.

[@rikiishitoru8885]

Brian de Palma

[@JohnKelleher-xy1hv]

CHRISTOPHER NOLAN WOULD BE GREAT OR MAYBE STEVEN SPIELBERG HE SAID HE ALWAYS WANTED TO DIRECT A BOND FILM.

[@newsbender]

How about no one? No one would be ideal.

[@ashesfrombones]

John Leslie Nuzzo

[@foivosapostolos1211]

No one. They've ridiculed the character long enough in the last three movies. The last good Bond was Brosnan

[@dennissinned6299]

A better question would be : who is the next 007 ? Certainly not a female.

[@steveharvey7712]

The people want Henry Cavill

[@marianam8643]

Yea, the “modern” Bond. The tortured hero with a backstory. I am sorry these people came and modernized him. Problem is that this is exactly the opposite of what made bond fun. We did not care about his backstory. Whatever made him the way he was is completely irrelevant, both to us, as the viewers, but especially him. A complete hedonist, completely in love with himself, charming, irreverent and more or less misogynistic. Pussy Galore? Genius!!! A shallow but completely honest representation of what women want, and what men strive to be. I loved bond, the forgettable but fun. I truly dislike the Craig versions. Boring boring boring.

[@KimBailey-w2g]

Who cares if the franchise is dead James bond is no more so I don’t get it why people are saying that he will be back. He is a literally ash on top of a blown out bunker read books watch the movies that are already existing so Daniel Craig and enjoy because that’s what we have left😢😂

[@guileniam]

What

[@kayvee6]

Wrong.

[@KimBailey-w2g]

@@kayvee6 well, my opinion, he was sacrificed on the altar of the woke society, simple as that Daniel Craig wanted his character killed off

[@LerxxLPs]

First

[@SmartFabian007]

I never was a fan of Craig become Bond, he was never bond, he was a rogue brittish vers of jason bourne, who gives a shit about all things, and an obsession over vesper lynd, and other lame shit, also craig never liked bond, he only become bond so he could kill him off, Casino Royale, many new fans may love it, but an great bond u can go back to -95 when Brosnan did his first bond, their u see the charm, style, glamour, the joy of being james bond, for me Bond has been gone seens 2004, 20 years now seens Barbara fired Brosnan, becuse she fell for Craig. Wilson and Campbell wanted Cavill to the new era of reboot of bond, but barbara wanted craig and she has always gotten her wish seens 2000

[@deacondavis5098]

Christopher Nolan!!!

[@oldman975]

It’ll be some woke,DEI hack who’ll to the Bond franchise what Disney did to Star Wars.

[@shot1897]

Christopher Nolan

[@Rattys]

Don't let Disney get the rights, or Bond will be a 300 lbs black woman with multiple personalities and a can do attitude.
