In a surprising announcement today, Oscar winner Sam Mendes is apparently close to signing on to direct the 23rd film in the long running Bond franchise. Mendes, who has a terrific vision for film, is known for film's concentrating more on the family and home life, for example American Beauty, and more recently Revolutionary Road and Away We Go. To see him in an action series like Bond is an interesting decision, but keep in mind this would not be his first foray into violence, as he did direct the brilliant Road to Perdition and the slightly inferior Jarhead. Although I'm curious to see his take on the character, this is still an interesting move.
