He wasn’t, then he was... maybe. Now Sony have made it official: Sam Mendes will be back behind the camera for Bond 24. The director, so assured on Skyfall but initially hesitant to commit to another 007-instalment, has thrilled the Bond faithful with the news that he’ll be back for another slug of espionage.
‘I am very pleased that by giving me the time I need to honour all my theatre commitments’, Mendes said in a statement, ‘the producers have made it possible for me to direct Bond 24. I very much look forward to taking up the reins again,’ he said.
