Bier is also the director ofThe Night Manager, the spy miniseries airing on AMC which stars Tom Hiddleston!
When Mendes took theSkyfalljob, he was an award-winning filmmaker who had worked with big-ish budgets.

(The results were: CheesyWorld is Not Enough,lunaticDie Another Day, and grimQuantum of Solace.)
But who else could take Bond in a new direction?
Here are some ideas.
Michelle MacLaren
Bond directors dont tend to be successful feature filmmakers in their own right.
Jane Campion
Campion wouldnt be the first New Zealand director to work on the Bond franchise.
Like Bier, Campions a brilliant filmmaker who has found a renewed life in short-form television.
As a bonus, Campions involvement would assure that Holly Hunter plays Felix Leiter.
Who would you like to see directing the 25th Bond film?
