BOND 25: Potential Danny Boyle Replacements Include STAR TREK 4 Director S.J. Clarkson
As MGM and Eon scramble to find a replacement for Danny Boyle before the 25th James Bond movie loses its release date, some interesting names have emerged as possible contenders for the gig. Check it out.
Could S.J. Clarkson become the first female director to helm a Star Trek flick and a James Bond movie?
According to Variety, Clarkson is one of three filmmakers currently on the studio's radar to replace Danny Boyle in the Bond 25 director's chair. The others are American Animals helmer Bart Layton and White Boy Rick's Yan Damage, who was reportedly a strong contender before Boyle landed the job.
At this point, it sounds like Damage might be the front-runner - although the trade stresses that "more meetings could be made," so it's probably far from a done deal.
At any rate, MGM and Eon will need to make their decision soon enough if they want to keep the current production schedule on track.
