Sam Mendes, you’re killing us! After he insisted he didn’t want to direct any more Bond films, Mendes had reportedly signed on to helm Bond 24 , and was even working on a deal for Bond 25 . But, that no longer seems to be the case. During a red carpet event for the opening of his West End theatrical production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , Mendes insisted he’s been too focused on the new play to deal with Bond . When asked about his involvement with the next Bond film, Mendes said “I don’t know yet. I’m in discussion over the ‘B’ word and I won’t make any decision until this [play] is open.” Regardless of whether Mendes is directing it, we do know that Daniel Craig will return to play 007. We also know about the sexy new Bond girl: Penelope Cruz . That’s good enough for now.
