Tabloid silly season begins with Bond 25 director rumours

Before Sam Mendes was brought on for 'Skyfall', EON Productions considered several interesting choices for a potential Bond director.

Guy Ritchie was not one of them.

But according to the Daily Mirror, 'The Man From UNCLE' director would be a suitable candidate to helm the 25th James Bond film.

A 'source' told the paper: "Guy has had a run of box office successes but it was The Man From U.N.C.L.E that really caught the Bond producers� eye. The film had many of the elements associated with 007. Guy created a world of espionage and action with a bit of comedy. He�s the frontrunner for the next Bond movie � for now."
