No Bond For Boyle

This has been quickly denied !!!

British director Danny Boyle will not take the helm of the next James Bond movie – despite insisting he’s a huge fan of the 007 franchise.

The acclaimed moviemaker was reportedly approached by Bond bosses to direct the upcoming sequel to last year’s Quantum of Solace after he swept the board at February’s Oscars with Slumdog Millionaire.

A source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper, “He has been offered the chance to direct the 23rd Bond film by (Bond producer) Barbara (Broccoli). Everyone on the Eon team thinks Danny would be the perfect addition to the Bond family.”

However, despite the modest filmmaker insisting he is “flattered” to be linked with the Bond brand – he has no plans to direct the next movie.

A spokeswoman tells WENN, “While Danny says he always has and always will enjoy the Bond movies he has no plans to direct one. Danny is naturally flattered to be thought of!”
