It was officially announced yesterday that Danny Boyle (SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE) is out of the director's chair for the still-untitled 25th James Bond film. The reason cited is good ol' creative differences. Considering how unique of a filmmaker Danny Boyle is it's unsurprising that he butted heads with the very controlling producers.
This one is likely to be Daniel Craig's last go 'round as everyone's favorite gentleman spy. So whoever they settle on to steer the production will have a lot of expectations to deal with.
Since there's not much else to report at this time about this, who do you think should direct the film? I'll start. I would go with James Nunn, co-director of the low budget thriller TOWER BLOCK. He's from the U.K. He's also shown many times with his DTV work that he can get a lot of style out of a small budget and that he is very adept at filming action scenes. He also would likely be very open to feedback and collaboration.
That's just my suggestion though... what do guys think? Who would YOU want doing it? Let us know.
