Shane Black, Ang Lee, David Yates And More Also Being Considered For JAMES BOND 24
Just moments after it was revealed that Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn is being considered to helm the follow-up to Sam Mendes' Skyfall, a new list of candidates has emerged! Hit the jump for details on who Sony are considering for James Bond 24.
007 fans dropped to their knees and wept when Sam Mendes revealed that he wouldn't be returning to helm James Bond 24. However, talk quickly turned to who would replace him, with The Dark Knight Trilogy's Christopher Nolan quickly emerging as a candidate (commitments to Interstellar and his reported desire to start over with a new actor make that extremely unlikely however). Well, following reports that Nicolas Winding Refn is being considered as director - you can read more on that by clicking HERE - Variety has now revealed a full list of candidates that Sony and Eon are said to be interested in. Those being considered include Ang Lee (Life of Pi), Tom Hooper (Les Miserables), David Yates (Harry Potter) and Shane Black (Iron Man 3). However, sources tell the site that it will be some time until a decision is made as the studio are still meeting with directors and Daniel Craig's deal is still being worked out. It's thought that it will not only be extremely lucrative, but also director approval. Who would you guys like to see get the job?
