Now Deadline got word of the frontrunners to direct the still-untitled film. The trade’s Michael Fleming says three men are currently in the running for the coveted gig: Yann Demange, Denis Villeneuve and David Mackenzie.
For a secret agent, James Bond’s not doing a great job of keeping his comings and goings private at the moment.
Mackenzie directed Hell or High Water, last summer’s surprise hit and Oscar nominee; before that he made the excellent prison drama Starred Up.
Demange and (my personal guess) Mackenzie seem like much more natural fits.
