That’s right. You read the title correctly. Sam Mendes is in negotiations to direct the next Bond flick.
Very interesting choice. Mendes is a wonderful director, and this would be his first major action film.

Despite the possible sale of MGM, the production is being fast-tracked and could begin filming as early as June with a possible 2011 release. Regular Bond writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade are penning the script, along with Peter Morgan (FROST/NIXON). Daniel Craig will return as the dashing 007.
I’m fairly new to Bond fandom, but I think that Mendes could do some good with this. You’ve still got the same writers minus Paul Haggis and the same Bond, so really that’s all you need, right?
