The outlet observes that the choice of a director like McGuigan makes sense for the Bond franchise, since previous helmers like Mendes and Forster (Monster’s Ball, Finding Neverland) both came from the independent film world.
Film and television director Paul McGuigan (BBC’s Sherlock) is rumored to be in consideration to direct Bond 25.
Since Daniel Craig took over the role of 007 in the James Bond franchise 11 years ago, the film series has consistently suffered from ups and downs.
According to IndieWire, Wilson and Broccoli are impressed with McGuigan’s indie drama Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool that the filmmaker is being considered to take the director’s chair for Bond 25.
