Sam Mendes To Direct James Bond

If it ever gets off the ground!
Sam Mendes is in negotiations to direct the 23rd installment of the James Bond franchise. Despite the possible sale of MGM, production could begin as early as June to achieve a 2011 release date.
We wonder how they'll be able to afford him!

Jason Statham for Bond!!!
wait thats not the guy who won survivor like 10 years ago?
As his first action film it should be interesting to see what he does with it, especially since it is the franchise of all franchises. He reportedly has 5 different projects "in development".
Perhaps Kate as a bond girl/villain ?
STFU FATBOY!! YOU'RE LUCKY TO AFFORD A TICKET. JEALOUS MUCH???
He's a hunk of piece of man meat. Kate winslet is lucky.
Because unlike this piece of shit website that moves at a turtle's pace– film studios have deep pockets and many financial backers.
Sam is the best!!
Hate to break it you, PH. Every blogger got this wrong. Sam Mendes is NOT directing the new Bond…yet. MGM doesn't have the means to commit financially to this project yet and it has been put on hold. Daniel Craig wants Mendes, so the Bond producers are in talks to engage Mendes as a consultant to the project for now. There is also no script yet.
Re: andriiiiia – No he's not. He is Kate Winslet's husband.Re: stacestace – I totally agree.
