Queston: why is it that...

I like Marc Forster a lot. Of the five films he has made since 2000, four have been good. That's a pretty good track record, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. He has never directed a movie with a tremendous amount of action.

Martin Campbell, on the other hand, has not made many great movies, but he has made one good Bond movie and another great Bond movie. It's arguable that Casino Royale was the best Bond movie.

Quantum of Solace is a continuation of Casino Royale, a sequel of sorts.




So...why is Marc Forster, a man who has no real experience with the type of film Bond films are, directing Quantum of Solace instead of Martin Campbell?



I'm still going to see it, but funk dat. I'd like to see Martin Campbell finish what he started.
